‘Democracy dies in book deals’: Maggie Haberman ripped for withholding Donald Trump bombshell
.
The New York Times’ Maggie Haberman reported on Donald Trump’s presidency extensively during his four years in the White House, and she does some more Trump-related reporting in her forthcoming book, “Confidence Man: The Making of Donald Trump and the Breaking of America.” According to CNN, one of revelations in the book (which has an October 4 release date on Amazon) is that after Trump lost the 2020 presidential election, he declared, “I’m just not going to leave.” And some Trump critics are wondering why Haberman didn’t report that statement earlier.
Before the 2020 election, MAGA Republicans accused “Real Time” host Bill Maher of having “Trump derangement syndrome” when he warned repeatedly that Trump would refuse to admit defeat and try to stay in the White House if he lost the election. But sure enough, Trump lost the election and did exactly what Maher feared he would do. And Haberman, in “Confidence Man,” cites an example of the type of behavior that Maher and other Trump critics predicted.
CNN’s Jeremy Herb reports, “Trump’s insistence that he would not be leaving the White House, which has not been previously reported, adds new detail to the chaotic post-election period in which Trump’s refusal to accept his defeat and numerous efforts to overturn the election result led to the January 6, 2021 attack on the U.S. Capitol by pro-Trump rioters.”
