Donald Trump ended his evening with two major rants on Truth Social, but one triggered by a bombshell New York Times report.
One has become a kind of mantra for the ex-president, attacking New York Attorney General Letitia James using a racist moniker he favors, as well as the judge he claims hates him.
The other responds to a report that walks through some of the things an Australian billionaire, Anthony Pratt, experienced in his ongoing relationship with Trump.
POLL: Should Trump be allowed to run for office?
Among the allegations are that Trump told Pratt nuclear submarine secrets over dinner. The information is so top secret that even the president isn't capable of declassifying it. Pratt then told about 45 people about the conversation. Still, Trump says it's all "fake news," and further, he blames Special Counsel Jack Smith and President Joe Biden for "leaking" the information.
"The Failing New York Times story, leaked by Deranged Jack Smith and the Biden 'Political Opponent Abuser' DOJ, about a red haired (sic) weirdo from Australia, named Anthony Pratt, is Fake News (sic)," Trump posted on his personal social media site.
Trump might be attacking Pratt as a "weirdo" because a secret recording uncovered by "60 Minutes Australia" revealed Pratt was trashing Trump behind his back.
According to the Times report, a number of the 45 people Pratt talked to over the years provided emails and text messages about things they heard from Pratt.
The report also revealed Trump boasted to Pratt that he's done far worse than his attempted bribery of Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky. Trump also asked his wife, Melania, to strut about Mar-a-Lago in her bikini to impress others.
"I never spoke to him about Submarines, but I did speak to him about creating jobs in Ohio and Pennsylvania, because that’s what I’m all about," Trump ranted, with an all-caps emphasis on his "great economy" and an end to "endless wars."
"Maggie Hagerman and the Misfits never called me for a comment. Why would they, they just write anything they want," he continued. "Whether it’s correct or not is of ZERO (sic) importance to them. 'All the News That’s Unfit To Print.' (sic) That’s why we call it the Fake News (sic)!"
Haberman has not responded to the comment online as of publication.
