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."

It’ going to be a GREAT four year with PRESIDENT TRUMP! I can’t wait until his first press conference.
“Yeah YOU! Get Outta Here!!”
“Well, Hello, Mr. Kissinger. Would you like a refresher for your Champagne glass? Maybe a twist of lime? I have Paul Ryan waiting the tables in your area. He’ll be right over. Right Paul?”
Here’s to falling real estate values and falling salaries on K Street.
Haha. Trump is holding his tongue about BO now. I feel like he won’t say much, but what he says will be brutal as he will want to move on. Hopefully, there will be reasons to investigate BO and shut him up for good.
Arrested Development.
He’s probably writing another book on Trump and Koch gave him access he did not deserve.
So?
Trump OWNS the golf course. It’s clear from other accounts that the guy was a total a-hole. Don’t want to get booted? Don’t be a jerk to the owner. Buh-bye.
Seems like the same type as the two queer parents .... just out there looking to stir up some crap and gain notoriety.
So share with us the other sources, we would all prefer the truth over fake news from the Hill.
“Koch, the flipping establishment GOPe donor class think they can do & bring anyone in!”
That is just it. Why did the Koch brothers bring this clown along to play golf? I think the were trying to set up for an incident that would embarrass Trump. Trump was to smart for them and had their @sses removed. GO TRUMP GO
GWB was and still is GOPe and Uniparty. He didn’t care as long as the government kept getting bigger and the crooks and donors kept making off with more money.
Never get even. Get ahead.
There was no reason for Hurt to approach Trump on the golfing range other than to cause a disturbance.
Reading about Hurt, appears he is a piece of work. class one a hole. Koch hanging with him is interesting other than Hurt being a scratch golfer.
Remember the head guard on Cool Hand Luke? The man with mirrored sunglasses? I think he just said something.
Yes, the establishment will not stop trying to invalidate Trumps presidency, but it matters not. Trump will do what he says, and in the end the establishment will be the losers.
Trump Takes no crap from anybody— EVER!!
Part of the reluctance of GWB to respond was due to his respect for the Office of the President .. and the FACT that his father and his chief advisor told him he shouldn’t respond. The latter two later agreed that it was a mistake; but it’s too late to correct it now.
The guy who already has something against Trump is claiming something happened that two people in the group were unaware of.
It didn't happen.
Hurt is lying. And yes, I believe it's a publicity stunt and designed to make Trump look bad.
I noticed that Koch is a big donator to PBS.
