Michael Lewis, the author of Moneyball and The Big Short, wrote that Vice President Mike Pence's wife, Karen, was less than pleased with President Donald Trump's victory in the moments after he won the 2016 election.

Lewis claims that after Trump won, Pence tried to kiss his wife but she turned away and said: "You got what you wanted. Now leave me alone."

Lewis' account centres on the problems Trump had with his transition team, but contains behind-the-scenes stories from the election night.

Lewis also claims that Trump just sat staring at the TV in disbelief when he saw he'd won.

Vice President Mike Pence tried to kiss his wife Karen in the minutes after Trump won the 2016 election on November 9.

- but she reportedly turned away from him and said: "You got what you wanted. Now leave me alone."

But Pence wasn't alone in her scorn, as she "wouldn't so much as say hello to Trump," after the win Michael Lewis, the author of Moneyball and The Big Short, wrote in a Guardian long read based on several interviews with Trump insiders and published on Thursday.

In an account of Trump's unexpected win and chaotic transition into the White House, Lewis writes that Trump "just stared at the TV without saying anything, like a man with a pair of two's whose bluff has been called," after clinching Pennsylvania at 1:35 a.m., thereby winning the election against all odds.

Trump, thinking he wouldn't win, didn't pay for, or even have, a transition team in place upon winning. Trump staffer and former New Jersey Governor Chris Christie volunteered to lead the transition team, but Trump didn't want one, Lewis writes.

Finally, when Christie told Trump it was a legal requirement to have a plan for the presidency, Trump agreed begrudgingly.

But when Trump read in the paper that Christie had raised money to pay people, Trump called Christie and campaign chief Steve Bannon to Trump Tower and screamed: "You're stealing my money!

You're stealing my f------ money! What the f--- is this?" Lewis writes.

**** the law. I don’t give a **** about the law. I want my ****ing money.

Bannon and Christie tried to explain that Trump couldn’t have both his money and a transition.

Shut it down, said Trump. Shut down the transition.

Trump only calmed down when Bannon reminded Trump that if he didn't have a team, people would think he wasn't confident about winning, according to Lewis.

The story seems to be all written on the accounts of Michael Lewis - and nothing else. Please show me the tapes (you know, like the ones of Obama speaking about Putin when the mic was supposed to be off)...you know, some proof instead of some guys account.

Please notice the story is full of
'Lewis claims'
'Lewis' account'
'According to Lewis'

No meat, no proof...just one person's unsubstantiated story...oh wait! JUST LIKE THAT BOOK HE WROTE about baseball - which was hugely inaccurate.

Please Tom, seriously here...if you are going to publish trash like this be prepared to defend it and stop dropping this **** and running. Stick around and let's debate some. i'm still waiting for your response on:

I forgot about until I was struck by lightning and then it all came back in technicolor. I am getting in touch with other highly regarded, highly respected recovering addicts and we will get our story in all the media. Just because it was 45 years ago, doesn't make it okay.
