He’s also employed this kind of attempted bullying before. 4 years ago, #Trump denied Goldberg’s story about “#SuckersAndLosers,” but other reporters quickly duplicated the reporting, including Jennifer Griffin of #FoxNews.

#Trump called #TheAtlantic “a failing magazine run by a guy named Goldberg.” He added that “they were the ones that made up the story about me saying bad things about this, about the soldiers.” That’s a reference to another article that Goldberg published, in Sept 2020, reporting that then-President Trump had called Americans who died in wars “#SuckersAndLosers.” Trump’s attack is factually wrong on nearly every count, but it’s still a useful demonstration of Trump’s political methods & aims.


Friday night in Austin, TX, the Republican presidential nominee, Donald #Trump, fiercely criticized #TheAtlantic’s editor in chief, Jeffrey Goldberg, over a recent report about Trump’s troubling attitude toward the #military, which he believes should be loyal to him personally.
