Donald Trump had a phone interview on Fox & Friends Saturday morning, and co-host Will Cain asked him about revelations made by New York Times reporter and author Maggie Haberman in her new book.
In her book, titled “Confidence Man,” Haberman revealed that Trump would flushWhite House papers down the toilet, frequently clogging them.
“Maggie Haberman of the New York Times has a book out she has been discussing on CNN and the other platforms. The big takeaway is that you have ripped up papers and flushed them down the toilet. What is your reaction on what you’re hearing on other mainstream media channels in this book by Maggie Haberman?” Cain asked Trump.
“Yeah it’s fake news and she’s a fake writer,” a very unhappy Trump replied. “She got a Pulitzer Prize for Russia, Russia, Russia, and then they found out it was a hoax. And so did others,” he added.
“Frankly the ones that get Pulitzer Prizes they happen to work around you and around Pete. And I will tell you, it’s a disgrace. But, no, it’s a totally false story. She made it up. I don’t believe they have sources. Who is going to be a source for that anyway? Who would know that? There is no source. They make it up,” Trump ranted.
“You know, they oftentimes, these fake writers like her, they act like they know me like she knows me. I haven’t spoken to her in a very, very long time. She knows me no better than any other writer. They write books like they know and then they make things like that up. There would be no way of her knowing if it were the fact. There would be no way of her understanding that or knowing it. But it’s a totally fake story made up by her,” Trump said.
