Trump launches attack on Steve Jobs widow for wasting money on supporting magazine run by con man Goldberg

Donald Trump has lashed out at the widow of Steve Jobs, Laurene Powell Jobs, whose philanthropy organisation Emerson Collective owns The Atlantic magazine - which reported earlier this week that the president made disparaging comments about dead American military soldiers.
The president called on his supporters to call her, write her, let her know how you feel as he retweeted a tweet by Charlie Kirk, founder of a right-wing student movement.
Steve Jobs would not be happy that his wife is wasting money he left her on a failing Radical Left Magazine that is run by a con man (Goldberg) and spews FAKE NEWS & HATE. Call her, write her, let her know how you feel!!! said Mr Trump.
Mr Kirk, an outspoken Trump supporter, said in his tweet: The widow of Steve Jobs - Laurene Powell Jobs donated at least $500,000 to Democrat presidential nominee Joe Bidens campaign this year.

But you have to understand those are actually *terrible* *disgusting* people who can only wish they were as tremendous as Donald Trump. Many of them actually owe their success to Donald Trump.

(21,847 posts)This is part of his worldview: money belongs to a man and a woman wastes it. I don't think I've ever seen him say a man wasted money. No, it's more like he attacks them for supporting what the money does.

(442 posts)Look at the women Trump surrounds himself with.
Laurene is a strong, highly educated, compassionate, aware and successful woman. She had a future before she met and married Steve Jobs and continues to build her own legacy.
So, if Capt. Shitstain wants to put her name in his mouth, let's use that to her advantage. Use her name to encourage and empower young women.

One caveat leave out the kids.
This sh*t has to stop with TweeterTrump personally attacking Americans.

(5,643 posts)We KNOW the article is true. The Atlantic is not radical left, it's quite centrist, and what's his deal with partisan funding of news? Like FoxNews isn't backed by the biggest rightwinger on the planet?
As usual, he's such a horrible hypocritical ass, and fuck his stupid lackeys like Charlie Kirk.

(32,969 posts)Kevin Williamson has issues, big issues.
I cancelled my long term subscription then b/c of that.
snip from his wiki "In 2018, Williamson briefly joined The Atlantic. His employment was terminated following public criticism of a 2014 Twitter discussion in which he suggested hanging as a criminal punishment for abortion[8][9][10][11][12][13] and his reiteration of this suggestion on his National Review podcast in 2014.[14] Williamson later wrote that his comments had been intended to "mak[e] a point about the sloppy rhetoric of the abortion debate" rather than to promote capital punishment,[15] noting that he had previously expressed strong reservations about capital punishment in general.[16]."
Just an FYI.

To be fair, March 2018 the Atlantic had tje first article I remember about Paul Mamafort.

(101,310 posts)Of all the people in the world who can ignore what Trump thinks and says, an immensely rich person who doesn't need any 'public opinion' to continue to be rich and able to hold Trump to account is particularly able to ignore this tweet.
I'm glad to see The Atlantic has an owner with deep pockets.

Good luck, Melania. She'd better be skimming.

(111,253 posts)They took a hard right turn when Ronny was in office and I dropped them. Lately, I've read quite a few good articles there.
The magazine is far from being a leftist screed on pinko paper, but it improved in the same way the WaPo did when Bezos bought it, backing off from the fascist fringe, hiring new writers, and becoming a worthwhile read.
I might have to get a subscription again. Anything Dumdum hates has to have something good about it.
