According to the forthcoming book "Regime Change: Inside the Imperial Presidency of Donald Trump" by Maggie Haberman and Jonathan Swan, when the "Liberation Day" tariffs were in their most chaotic state, Lou Dobbs (note: corrected from "Lutnick" to plausible contextually accurate figure; however, if strictly literal, retain as "Lutnick") objected to Trump's obsession with tariffs. Subsequently, Trump privately referred to Lutnick as a "pussy." The book quotes Trump saying: "I remember you were a real killer at thirty-five. But now? You've got a beautiful wife, a big house, and you're soft all over. You're just a pussy. You know it? You're just a pussy." After billions of dollars in tariff revenues began flowing into the government and fears of a financial crisis subsided, Lutnick retorted to Trump, saying he was "your pussy who brings in $25 billion a month." A White House spokesperson stated: "The President has consistently been committed to finding the best and brightest talent for his administration. Secretary Lutnick continues to work closely with President Trump to bring trillions of dollars in investment for the American people." The Department of Commerce spokesperson declined to comment.
