Trump lashes out at 'slimeball reporter' amid furor over alleged war dead remarks
The Hill ^ | Sept 5, 2020 | Tal Axelrod

President Trump on Saturday lashed out at the journalist behind this week's explosive report that claimed he had disparaged slain American soldiers buried in France, calling the reporter a "slimeball."

Trump suggested in a pair of tweets that the author of the report, The Atlantic's Jeffrey Goldberg, may have been working with "disgruntled people" intent on seeing him lose reelection. He compared the magazine story to the controversial dossier compiled by former British spy Christopher Steele in 2016, which alleged that Russia had compromising material on Trump.

IMHO Kelly cannot be one of the sources because if he had heard that he should have resigned on the spot.

I hope that President Trump can somehow sue the hell out of the Atlantic and someday own the publication.

I suspect there were really zero sources, but that is just me. I did hear from my multiple anonymous sources that Jeffery Goldberg combs the homeless camps for sex with smelly homeless guys. My sources are just as good as his are.

How refreshing to see an elected Republican official fight back. It always pissed me off when W would just say aw shucks and let the Democrats attack him all day long. Well, I guess now we know why since W is in the same camp with them too! Trump doesn’t let these lies go unanswered. The Atlantic is soiled toilet paper as far as I’m concerned.

There are NO SOURCES this is entirely made up, they are using the same words Trump used about McShame and THAT is why it seems credible McShame was a LOSER an incredible vindictive spiteful BASTARD that did not give a damn about what the American people were going through with the COSTS of Ocare his vindictiveness was more important than voting to rid us of the monstrous take over of healthcare!! It was all about screwing Trump AND the peop,e that voted for him!! This LOSER of a human being did not drop dead fast enough for me AND I totally agree with whatever Trump said about him!!

Perhaps it’s time to dish out the same to the demon-rats: make up a story about basement Biden BASED ON ANONYMOUS SOURCES and spread it around like a large smelly fart. Let it permeate the media air and treat it as TRUTH. Fight fire with fire.

This story is going on it’s third day. It’s time to change the narrative. No one who knows Trump believes any of this. I would put up what he has DONE for the Military and Vets against anything RUMORED TO BE SAID by anonymous sources. End the coverage of this now.

With all the creepy episodes in Biden’s past involving inappropriately touching underage girls, there is no need to makeup anything. It’s real and it’s disturbing.

Unfortunately, the MSM won’t “spread around” anything negative about Biden, even if it’s factual.

They have “fact checkers”, don’tcha know.

A source told me that Biden likes to wear a vintage Waffen SS uniform with ladies underwear while reading Stormfront.

My source is as credible as the one used in the Atlantic

Yesterday a story came out of a secret service agent being suspended after punching Biden after Biden grabbed the breast of the agents girlfriend. This supposedly happened while Biden was VP. So why isn’t that story plastered all over the news like this one about Trump? The Biden one is a hell of a lot more believable

The idea behind the smear is to disgruntle the military, since the Pres. will get the lion’s share of that vote.
And who knows but in the fevered minds of the Dems, maybe they’re looking forward to a coup.

Also

Donald J. Trump @realDonaldTrump

All refuted by many witnesses. Jennifer Griffin should be fired for this kind of reporting. Never even called us for comment.

It is actually much worse than that. The leftist social change non-profit organization that Widow Jobs founded and runs owns the magazine. They are a 501(c)(3) organization which donors and Widow Jobs are able to deduct all of their contributions from their income taxes. The entire thing from top to bottom is a massive scam similar to the Clinton Foundation allowing rich leftists to not pay taxes while funneling money into leftist causes.
