Donald Trump is ready to take on Mexico, China and Iran, but breast pumping might be the real estate mogul’s kryptonite.
Appearing on CNN’s “New Day” on Wednesday, Elizabeth Beck — an attorney who appeared in court against Trump in 2011 representing tenants of a Trump property — said Trump got irate when she took a break to breast pump.
“When I said that I needed the break, and it was for breast pumping purposes, he got up, his face got red, and he screamed, ‘You’re disgusting! You’re disgusting!’ And he ran out of there,” Beck recounted after explaining the break was “pre-negotiated.”
“It makes you wonder what kind of a presidential candidate who can’t even handle a legal proceeding, a deposition that involves a breast pump… what kind of a leader of the United States would that be?”
Trump’s attorney claimed the presidential candidate called Beck disgusting because she was breast pumping in the courtroom, which she denied.
