Meanwhile, a forthcoming book by Maggie Haberman and Jonathan Swan reports that Trump has been walking around the White House calling Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick a derogatory name—the same word Trump famously used on the Access Hollywood tape—because Lutnick reportedly refers to himself as "your $2.5 billion p-word" after implementing tariffs.
