Trump trashes New York Times reporter Maggie Haberman, 'drunk/drugged up loser' former aide

President Trump condemned New York Times reporter Maggie Haberman and a former campaign aide on Saturday, responding to recent coverage of his embattled personal lawyer, Michael Cohen.

In a flurry of early Saturday morning tweets, sent from Florida, Trump called the White House correspondent a "third rate reporter," suggesting Haberman and her colleagues make up their sources.
 
"The New York Times and a third rate reporter named Maggie Haberman, known as a Crooked H flunkie who I don’t speak to and have nothing to do with, are going out of their way to destroy Michael Cohen and his relationship with me in the hope that he will 'flip,'" Trump tweeted. "They use non-existent 'sources' and a drunk/drugged up loser who hates Michael, a fine person with a wonderful family. Michael is a businessman for his own account/lawyer who I have always liked & respected. Most people will flip if the Government lets them out of trouble, even if it means lying or making up stories. Sorry, I don’t see Michael doing that despite the horrible Witch Hunt and the dishonest media!"

I guess he won't be calling Haberman anymore.....


“Trump phones Maggie Haberman of the New York Times directly, as well as Philip Rucker of the Washington Post, and Jonathan Swan of Axios, feeding them stories attributed to ‘a senior White House official,’ creating the impression that White House leaks even more than it already does,” Kessler wrote.

I wonder how long it's going to take before people realize these Saturday morning tweetstorms are in fact planned addresses meant to keep people talking about him throughout the weekend.

I guess they weren’t happy with Haberman’s coverage of Ike Turner wannabe Rob Porter.....


In the hours immediately after the Daily Mail published a photograph of Porter’s first ex-wife with a black eye, White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders hastily arranged an off-the-record meeting in the West Wing with Porter and four reporters:The New York Times’ Maggie Haberman, The Washington Post’s Josh Dawsey, Axios’ Jonathan Swan and The Wall Street Journal’s Michael Bender. In that meeting, which hasn’t previously been reported, Porter relayed his version of events and fielded questions from the group.

Speaking of that, I thought trumps Steven  Hawking eulogy was spot on.
