U.S. President Trump Calls Hagmann Book “Fake News,” Repeats Claim of Election Victory

U.S. President Donald Trump dismissed a book about him by Margot Hagmann as “fake news” and said it was largely fabricated. According to Jin10, Trump said the book was based on a “very short and boring briefing” and was “mostly made up,” adding that much of it was fictional. Trump also criticized Hagmann personally, calling her a “third-rate writer” with “third-rate intelligence,” while claiming she earned “first-rate” income by writing about him. He said Hagmann was “completely wrong” about the election, asserting that he knew he would win by a large margin. Trump also said she was wrong about what he described as the “Russia hoax,” and claimed she was wrong about “almost everything.” Trump reiterated his narrative that he won the election “by a lot.” He also stated that Iran would never have nuclear weapons.
