Former president claims magazine worked with attorney general who sued his business and assigned writers to ‘hit him hard’
Ex-president claims magazine, citing his $600m loss, worked with prosecutor who sued him and assigned writers to ‘hit him hard’social media platform he set up after being expelled from mainstream platforms over the January 6 attack on the Capitol., saying the his net worth was down $600m from a year before. Trump has been on the list since the 1990s, other than in 2021.
In response, Trump complained about “really dumb writers assigned to hit me hard” and bragged about huge leads in Republican presidential polling he holds despite facing 91 criminal charges and assorted civil threats. In that post from Monday, Trump concluded: “So much for Forbes!” But as usual he could not resist returning to the well, using his Wednesday post to: “Hey Donald Trump, if you want to point out a single false fact in any of the articles I’ve published about you – or in the book I wrote about you – feel free. In the meantime, I’m going to keep reporting – and carefully fact-checking every word I publish.
Another writer, Adam Klasfeld of the Messenger, said: “If you were wondering why Trump suddenly went after Forbes and Dan Alexander, he posted his swipe hours after their fact-checking emails about his net worth … were entered into evidence” in a New York state civil trial concerning alleged business fraud.James “racist and incompetent”, also using a nickname some observers have said may itself be a racist dog whistle.
