Trump Hurls Attacks At Maggie Haberman In Midnight Meltdown About Her Reporting
HuffPost
The president-elect used a childish nickname for the journalist and called her "a third rate writer and fourth rate intellect."
President-elect Donald Trump lashed out at Maggie Haberman on Tuesday, hurling a string of insults at the New York Times journalist and her employer.
“Magot Hagerman, a third rate writer and fourth rate intellect, writes story after story, always terrible, and yet I almost never speak to her,” the Republican posted just after midnight, accusing the newspaper of getting its coverage of him “so wrong.”
“They do no fact checking, because facts don’t matter to them. I don’t believe I’ve had a legitimately good story in the NYT for years, AND YET I WON, IN RECORD FASHION, THE MOST CONSEQUENTIAL PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION IN DECADES. WHERE IS THE APOLOGY?”
Trump has called Haberman names in the past. He also referred to her as “Maggot” in August, when he raged at her for her coverage of a dubious story he’d told about once being in a dangerous helicopter landing; and in October 2023, when he fumed over her reporting on his civil fraud trial.
Haberman has covered Trump extensively for years. She’s the author of a biography about him and won a Pulitzer Prize in 2018 for her reporting on his first administration.
