During a rally in Michigan on Saturday, Donald Trump continued his attacks on a forthcoming book about him from New York Times reporter Maggie Haberman.

In a speech in Warren, the former president denied one of the book’s more shocking claims, that Mr Trump considered firing his daughter Ivanka and son-in-law Jared Kushner from their White House roles via tweet.

“I had a story the other day that I wanted to fire my daughter Ivanka, that didn’t happen,” he told the crowd, calling the story “disgusting.”

“No, but how do you how do you call your daughter and explain this?”

Yeah, sure, you lying orange windbag.

1. Ivanka knows Haberman is telling the truth.

[robbedvoter]

10. Because she is her source.

Always.

11. Yep. I am sure all of Trump's spawn have the press on speed dial.

Blabbing about their Dad.

It is a love/hate relationship by all accounts.

2. Exactly.

And despite what some social media types say about her, Haberman is a great reporter. Hell, Dumb Donald hates her.

4. He invited her in. She is a really good reporter. Trump's story is media

In 2016 the media promoted the hell out of him. In 2020 he was omnipresent and it didn’t sell. Too much media.

3. As if we're supposed to believe the lying liar

6. Ivanka knows it's true too

Curious if she'll harbor it or let it go.

She should turn on him.

7. She doesn't need the money that may not even exist.

Uncle Saudi will take care of her

8. My guess is she will be silent.

9. Is this really LBN?

Doesn't seem like a national news story.

12. It is what it is

She could have done her job as a journalist and shared this via her work real time.

Instead, she chose to profit off of the pain of America.

She shook hands with the devil. What did she expect?

13. As someone who was a journalist and knows quite a few of them ...

... not every detail of a story comes out at the same time. I've seen many on and off social media accuse her of hiding things for book publishing. But Trump certainly didn't tell her while he was president that he shoved classified material down the toilet. She wouldn't still be working for the New York Times if she had.
