Trump just posted an insane attack on one of his biographers, Michael D'Antonio

Trump's tweet:






A third rate conman who interviewed me many years ago for just a short period of time has been playing his biggest con of all on Fake News CNN. Michael D’Antonio, a broken down hack who knows nothing about me, goes on night after night telling made up Trump stories. Disgraceful!




D'Antonio's response:






You can read all my articles and interviews on my @CNN Profile

https://www.cnn.com/profiles/michael-dantonio




D'Antonio's a Pulitzer Prize winner.



HuffPo article on the CNN interview that apparently set Trump off:

Video below. Don Lemon's interview of D'Antonio starts about 18 minutes in.

He's been writing for 20 years. Doesn't sound too broken down to me. Trump is such an automaton. Same old habitual reaction. Punch button #1 - anger, button #2 - bragging lies, button #3 bully threats, button #4 - deny what he said before, button #5 - blame Obama, button #6 - praise Putin, etc etc

So predictable. So tiring.

I'm sure D'Antonio is is thinking this while grinning from ear to ear.
