Donald Trump, pictured in the White House Wednesday, repeatedly grilled one of his top aides over badgers, a new book claims (Pictures: AP/Getty – file) Donald Trump pestered one of his most senior former aides with questions about whether badgers were nice or nasty animals, a new book claims. The President of the United States allegedly grilled ex-White House chief of staff Reince Priebus about whether the woodland creatures are ‘mean to people,’ how they ‘work,’ and whether they are aggressive. A new book, Sinking in the Swamp: How Trump’s Minions and Misfits Poisoned Washington, claims Trump would regularly ‘waste Priebus’s time’ during foreign policy briefings with badger questions. The president’s interest is said to have been piqued after discovering that the badger was the state animal of Wisconsin, where Priebus hails from. A source told book authors Lachlan Markay and Asawin Suebsaeng: ‘”Are they mean to people?” Trump at least twice asked Priebus in the opening months of his presidency. “Or are they friendly creatures?” Trump reportedly pelted former chief of staff Reince Priebus, pictured, after discovering he hailed from Wisconsin, whose state animal is a badger (Picture: Bloomberg) ‘The president would also ask if Priebus had any photos of badgers he could show him, and if Priebus could carefully explain to him how badgers “work” exactly. ‘He wanted Reince — resident White House badger historian, apparently — to explain to him Wisconsin’s obsession with the animal, how the little critters function and behave, what kind of food they like, and how aggressive or deadly they could be when presented with perceived existential threats.

Trump is also said to have been obsessed with ‘space junk’ – decommissioned satellites orbiting the Earth – and whether it posed any threat. Priebus quit his job after just six months in July 2017 amid claim Trump was disappointed with his performance.
