The journalist, Maggie Haberman—a Pulitzer Prize winner—wrote the 2022 biography Confidence Man: The Making of Donald Trump and the Breaking of America. She additionally acquired a Pulitzer in 2018 for her reporting on connections between Trump’s advisors and Russia.
In a put up on his social media platform, Reality Social, Trump harshly criticized Haberman, accusing her of publishing false details about him. Whereas it’s unclear what particularly triggered his feedback, Haberman’s latest work contains protection of Kristi Noem’s dismissal as Homeland Safety Secretary on March 5, in addition to a CNN look on March 12 discussing the conflict in Iran.
In his put up, Trump insulted Haberman with a mocking nickname and labeled her a dishonest journalist from The New York Instances, claiming her studies have been unfaithful and deceptive.
Trump has often criticized media protection and has a historical past of constructing private remarks about reporters, particularly girls. For instance, throughout a latest alternate, PBS correspondent Liz Landers questioned him in regards to the FBI seizing election data in Arizona. Trump responded by suggesting the election may need been rigged. When Landers pushed again, noting there was no proof of fraud, Trump dismissed her as a “rotten reporter.”
In different incidents, Trump has insulted journalists similar to Bloomberg’s Catherine Lucey, CBS Information’ Nancy Cordes, and New York Instances reporter Katie Rogers, in addition to commenting on CNN’s Kaitlan Collins for “not smiling sufficient.”
On the time of reporting, Maggie Haberman had not publicly responded to Trump’s remarks.
