Former President Donald Trump was on a roll yesterday, firing off several statements that were shared by his spokeswoman Liz Harrington on Twitter. Most of his statements were typically Trumpian: praising himself while playing the victim. One of his statements, however, left social media users stunned after he launched a bizarre attack on former associates who’ve given interviews to authors of several new damning books about his administration.
“Nobody had ever heard of some of these people that worked for me in D.C.,” Trump wrote. “All of a sudden, the Fake News starts calling them. Some of them — by no means all — felt emboldened, brave, and for the first time in their lives, they feel like ‘something special,’ not the losers that they are — and they talk, talk, talk!
“Many say I am the greatest star-maker of all time,” Trump added. “But some of the stars I produced are actually made of garbage.”

Poor Eric and Junior. That’s some serious shade.

It’s still surreal that we have to take someone like this seriously.

It takes garbage to produce garbage. It’s where all the flies go. pic.twitter.com/0Ufod8YGVB
