#suckersandlosers

Remember when you thought the economy was bad under Biden, but it turned out that it was the best in decades?

Remember how you believed Trump was going to save you from that imaginary bad economy but it turned out to be a lie?

Remember when Trump started to destroy the economy on his first day in office?

Ahhhh, good times … good times.

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 quickly (though unsuccessfully) demanded that Fox fire her. Trump has also sporadically railed at Goldberg & #TheAtlantic since 2020.

“Trump used the terms #SuckersAndLosers to describe #soldiers who gave their lives in the defense of our country,” #JohnKelly recently told Goldberg. “There are many, many people who have heard him say these things.” Besides, #Trump has said himself that he wants to use the #military domestically, & he’s disrespected #FallenSoldiers by trying to use #ArlingtonNationalCemetery as a cheap campaign prop.

1st, some housekeeping: #Trump’s own former staffers have confirmed the “#SuckersAndLosers” reporting #OnTheRecord. The Atlantic is thriving both journalistically—it has won the magazine industry’s top award 3 years running—& as a business, attaining profitability this year w/ >1M subscribers. Nearly the only thing that Trump got right was Goldberg’s name. As in past instances, he emphasized the name in a way that reeked of #AntiSemitism.

#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.
