President Donald Trump unleashed a lengthy attack on journalist Maggie Haberman at midnight Saturday over a new book about him, dismissing the work as fiction and hurling insults at the New York Times reporter who has covered him for years.
In a post on Truth Social, Trump said he had been briefed on the book and was unimpressed, deriding both the project and its author — whose name he mangled throughout the post.
"Based on a very quick and boring briefing concerning the Magot Hagerman book about me, it is mostly made up, Fake News, largely fiction, as have been most of the things she has written about me for so many years," Trump wrote.
He went on to belittle Haberman personally while taking credit for her career.
"She is a third rate writer and intellect, who has made a first rate income because of your favorite President, ME," Trump wrote.
The president then ran through a familiar list of grievances, claiming Haberman had been "wrong about me on the Elections," wrong about "the Russia, Russia, Russia Hoax," and "wrong about me on just about everything else." He complained that she "continues to spew out garbage, and people continue to buy it."
Trump also disputed a specific element of the reporting, insisting that the book's authors lack evidence they have suggested they possess.
"And they don't have the audio tapes that they imply they have," he wrote. "Just another Margot Con Job!"
