The war on the media
Trump attacks reporter – calls her an ugly maggot

Donald Trump is once again raging against a female journalist. This time it is New York Times White House correspondent Maggie Haberman, who in a post from the president is called "Maggot Hagerman".

"She is an unattractive person both inside and out", he writes and continues:

"She has been writing lies about me for years. She is a stalker and should be forced to give up all the money she has made from her false reporting about me."

Pulitzer Prize winner Haberman is one of four reporters behind Thursday's report that Donald Trump is not expected to attend the commemoration of the 25th anniversary of the September 11 attacks in New York. Whether this is true or not, Trump does not answer in his post.

Trump has a long history of personally attacking mainly female reporters. Among other things, he said "Quiet, piggy" to a Bloomberg reporter last year.
