'Lasted A Week': Maggie Haberman Swipes At Trump's July Fourth Tantrum
HuffPost
Some have suggested the former president has shown uncharacteristic restraint in the wake of Biden's abysmal debate performance.
Donald Trump’s supposed “discipline” over President Joe Biden’s terrible debate performance has come to an end, Maggie Haberman pointed out Thursday.
“Trump-kept-disciplined-and-quiet-amid-Democrats’-problems-and-didn’t-try-for-focus lasted a week,” the New York Times correspondent quipped on X (formerly Twitter), sharing a screengrab of Trump’s 4th of July tirade on his Truth Social platform.
In Trump’s holiday screed, he said Biden “choked like a dog” at the debate, called him “highly incapable” and baselessly accused him of using prosecutors to go after his political opponent.
Trump also attacked the vice president, the most likely contender to replace Biden should he drop out of the presidential race, calling her “Laffin’ Kamala Harris.”
Eric Columbus, a former DOJ official who served as an attorney for the Jan. 6 committee, responded to Haberman’s post noting that Trump “didn’t even last” 72 hours.
