President-elect Donald Trump ran into one of his most critical biographers while golfing Friday on his course in Florida, Politico reported.
Trump reportedly asked Harry Hurt III, who wrote "Lost Tycoon: The Many Lives of Donald J. Trump" in 1993, to leave after Hurt offered Trump congratulations on his presidential victory.
The book sparked a feud between the two, as it included Ivana Trump's accusations that Trump had raped her, an allegation Trump has repeatedly denied.
According to Politico's report, Trump criticized Hurt's biography on the golf course, leading to a heated exchange Hurt shared on Facebook, which Politico said a transition official confirmed. Hurt said in his account of the incident on Facebook that security escorted him off the course. But another member of the golfing group alongside Hurt and billionaire donor David Koch said that they were unaware of the exchange.
"Harry just said he had been asked to leave,” said GOP donor John M. Damgard, who was golfing in the group. "I thought he was kidding. And then I learned that there had been some previous bad blood between them from back in the '90s apparently."

Treat Trump with respect, he’ll treat you with respect.
A lesson for the MSM like the NYT. But they’re too thick to figure it out: Trump remembers and he gives as good as he gets.
I would have dropped a driver club on that reporter.
Moral of story: Trump doesn’t forget attacks.
Obama hasn’t figured that out yet...
Good for him! [Trump]
“an allegation Trump has repeatedly denied.” And which Ivana also denied.
There is a good chance that GWB would have foolishly invited this reporter to stay, enjoy the buffet and maybe take a few Selfies together too.
GWB let himself become a punching bag. He never responded or defended himself and it invited relentless criticism from the media and his political opponents. Weakness invites aggression; always has and always will. Trump is doing the right thing by hitting back.
Glad to read that he caused the Kock Brother to leave as well. They are a bucket of snakes who invest in politics solely for their own benefit.
Koch, the flipping establishment GOPe donor class think they can do & bring anyone in!
Yes! Can’t stand them.
They’re huge into the housing, etc for all the illegals .
Phony morality, phony piety.
They make multi millions on illegals.
I hope Trump leaves he donor class out in the rain. The Kock brothers need a boot to the face.
Good!
It's alot of what I love about the guy.
Tweet Trump with respect too....
What’s that scene from?
Posts BUMP!
HOORAY Trump!
