Trump Attacks Reporter, Dismisses Book as “Fake News,” and Boasts of Cognitive Tests
President Donald J. Trump launched a scathing attack on journalist Maggie Haberman, claiming, “Maggot Hagerman has covered me incorrectly for ten years. Her book is a joke! 90% of it is Fake News.” Trump accused Haberman of profiting from what he called “bad reporting” and threatened that she “will pay the price when our Multi Billion Dollar Lawsuit against The Failing New York Times gets to Court, which should not be that long.”
False Claims and Personal Attacks
Trump disparaged Haberman personally, repeatedly using a derogatory nickname and labeling her a “loser.” He asserted that her reporting and book were motivated by a desire “to have Trump lose Elections,” but claimed, “as I sit in the Oval Office and ponder, that hasn’t worked out too well.” Trump further stated, “If she ever wrote the true story about me, it would actually be quite boring, but loaded with lots of SUCCESS.”
Exaggerated Lawsuit Claims
Trump referenced a “Multi Billion Dollar Lawsuit against The Failing New York Times,” suggesting imminent legal action. However, no evidence was provided in the excerpt to support the likelihood or scale of such a lawsuit, nor its prospects in court.
Boasts of Medical and Cognitive Testing
Trump claimed, “I just finished a perfect physical at Walter Reed, I do it every six months, and I requested another Cognitive Test, the only President to do so, three times, and I aced them all — Got every question right.” He asserted that “few people in Washington, D.C., could do so, including Maggot and her flunky associate, Jonathan Swan,” and wagered that they “couldn’t get 50% of the questions right.” These boasts are presented without independent verification in the excerpt.
Dismissal of Criticism and Book
Trump concluded by urging supporters not to buy Haberman’s book, calling it “garbage,” and reiterating his claims of success and victimization by the press.
Conclusion
President Trump’s response to Maggie Haberman’s reporting and book is marked by personal attacks, unsubstantiated legal threats, and repeated claims of media bias. His statements continue a pattern of dismissing unfavorable coverage as “Fake News” and exaggerating personal achievements, while offering little evidence to support his assertions. The rhetoric underscores his ongoing efforts to undermine critical journalism and shape public perception through direct, combative messaging.
