Vice President Mike Pence attempted to kiss his wife, Karen Pence, in the minutes following Donald Trump's victory in the November 2016 presidential election, but would have refused: "You have what you wanted, Mike. "
Meanwhile, Karen Pence "would not have meant hello to Trump," Michael Lewis, author of "Moneyball" and "The Big Short," wrote in a long Guardian article published Thursday.
In an account of Trump's unexpected victory and the chaotic transition to the White House, Lewis wrote that after winning the Pennsylvania elections at 1:35 am on November 9, Trump "watched television without saying anything, like a man with a pair of two whose bluff was called. "
According to Lewis, Trump did not want a transition team and did not want to pay for one. Chris Christie, the former governor of New Jersey, volunteered to lead a team, and after Christie had told Trump, it was legally necessary to have a plan for the presidency, a acknowledged Mr. Trump reluctantly, writes Lewis.
But later, after reading a Trump article, Trump called Christie and Steve Bannon, his campaign director, at Trump Tower, Lewis wrote.
According to Lewis, Trump shouted, "You steal my money, you steal my money, what is it?"
Trump only calmed down when Bannon reminded him that if he did not have a team, people might think that he was not sure of winning, according to Lewis.
