Trump Throws Biographer Out of Golf Course for Writing About His Divorce Proceedings

Source: Mediaite

Donald Trump decided to go golfing to ring in the new year today, but according to his former biographer, the President-Elect decided to kick him out as punishment for what was written about him in the past.

Harry Hurt III is a former Newsweek reporter and author of Lost Tycoon: The Many Lives of Donald J. Trump. Hurt’s book became the center of one of Trump’s earliest campaign controversies, when a passage was unearthed about how Trump’s ex-wife Ivana said her husband “raped” her in a sworn deposition. This deposition was part of legal talks that took place when Trump separated from his first wife.

In a statement on Facebook, Hurt said that he was at Trump International to play golf alongside major GOP donor David Koch. Hurt approached Trump in order to congratulate him for winning the presidency, but the mogul reportedly responded by slamming Hurt’s biography and complaining about “that sh*t you wrote.”

Hurt stated that what he wrote was “all true,” and that Trump soon summoned his security detail to lead Hurt off the premises. Hurt’s account was corroborated by a transition official who spoke with Politico.

if everyone who writes or says something about him that is true is kicked off the course. He won't be able to stand it because he's used to surrounding himself with people who sign nondisclosure agreements, and in his new job, he'll have to deal with all sorts of people. What would happen if a democratic senator shouted something unflattering but true during a State of the Union address. Would he attempt to have that person removed from the hall? I'd like to see that.

Probably not a coincidence that one of the sociopathic brothers was there when their biggest kochroach shows up. dump will be their front and useful idiot as they run the country together with granny starver Ryan and their butt boy Pence. The kochs have done Hitler one better: taken over a country without a (shooting) army.

I get the impression that the Kochs are first among those behind this theft. Trump will be impeached or something, and Pence will be the president they've been wanting to buy. Of course, since they were both cheated into office by the Russians, Kris Kobach, et al., they should both go. Trump tends to want most of what the brothers want.

We have a shadow president - Pence - who is in turn answerable to the GOP, which in its entirety answers to the Koch brothers.

It's like shadows within shadows.

A lot of the people around Trump have religious as well as socioeconomic goals, including Bannon, and that's one thing I've never heard the Kochs accused of. Though a unifying element is the destruction of liberalism in government, struggles for power are inevitable, and I'm looking forward to seeing who loses next.
