Donald Trump has lashed out at the widow of Steve Jobs, Laurene Powell Jobs, whose philanthropy organisation Emerson Collective owns The Atlantic magazine - which reported earlier this week that the president made disparaging comments about dead American military soldiers.

The president called on his supporters to “call her, write her, let her know how you feel” as he retweeted a tweet by Charlie Kirk, founder of a right-wing student movement.

“Steve Jobs would not be happy that his wife is wasting money he left her on a failing Radical Left Magazine that is run by a con man (Goldberg) and spews FAKE NEWS & HATE. Call her, write her, let her know how you feel!!!” said Mr Trump.

Mr Kirk, an outspoken Trump supporter, said in his tweet: “The widow of Steve Jobs - Laurene Powell Jobs donated at least $500,000 to Democrat presidential nominee Joe Biden’s campaign this year.

1. Is he going after orphans next?

[50 Shades Of Blue]

2. That stuck pig is squealing so loud you can hear it in outer space!

[SnowCritter]

13. That's a good one!

I'll have to remember it!

[50 Shades Of Blue]

15. Thanks, lol! Kinda wrote itself!

[irisblue]

3. Powell Jobs has more money then he does. Women with big money offend him

[Bengus81]

23. Women with a brain offend and scare the shit out of him.........

[BKDem]

30. *Everyone* offends Donald on some level or another.

All people pale in comparison. Maybe someone has more money or a Nobel Peace Prize. Maybe someone has been on the cover of Time more often. But you have to understand those are actually *terrible* *disgusting* people who can only wish they were as tremendous as Donald Trump. Many of them actually owe their success to Donald Trump.

[vlyons]

4. Meanehile he's not doing anything about Covid

nt

[RVN VET71]

33. Actually, he's working hard to make it worse

And I am not going to take any vaccine he and his "scientists" develop just in time for the election.

[ananda]

43. Yes. The number of deaths on his watch is stunning.

It's tolerated though.

Life is very cheap right now.

[UpInArms]

5. Okay ... I wish someone would call him out for

Breathing .. he is wasting air ...

[rickyhall]

10. Damn right! I'm tired of sharing the Earth with little Donnie.

[LymphocyteLover]

14. not just wasting, but putting air to bad use

he is a blight on the earth

[BlueStater]

6. The most interesting thing about this tweet is that he used three exclamation points at the end.

Otherwise, it’s as tiresome and dull as everything else his brain poops out.

[PatSeg]

32. Another Sunday morning meltdown

They are getting worse every week.

[MyOwnPeace]

34. Why does he do that........

just as he's getting ready to go to church?

[PatSeg]

35. Ha, ha, ha!

Maybe that's when the ghosts of Sundays past visit him. Unlike Scrooge, however, he never sees the error of his ways. He just doubles down.

[RobertDevereaux]

7. Dear article writer...

Has lashed out? No.

Has wet-noodled out? YES.

NEVER use a power word when talking about IMPotus.

[Lonestarblue]

40. Yes, I like the word "whines" because it's weak and makes him seem childish.

[Sanity Claws]

8. Funny how he complains about a woman wasting her ex-husband's money

This is part of his worldview: money belongs to a man and a woman wastes it. I don't think I've ever seen him say a man wasted money. No, it's more like he attacks them for supporting what the money does.

[ZenDem]

16. This, right here.

Look at the women Trump surrounds himself with.

Laurene is a strong, highly educated, compassionate, aware and successful woman. She had a future before she met and married Steve Jobs and continues to build her own legacy.

So, if Capt. Shitstain wants to put her name in his mouth, let's use that to her advantage. Use her name to encourage and empower young women.

[riversedge]

9. oh my my! Trump is having a hissy fit. too bad!

[honest.abe]

11. He is blatantly encouraging his supporters to harass this woman.

This should be illegal. Such a pathetic asshole.

[bucolic_frolic]

12. Trump, the fiscal conservative with other people's money

telling everybody else what to do with it to support him.

There's one in every family.

[usaf-vet]

17. If I had as $$$$ as she has. I would hire people to hunt down and expose anyone who harasses her.

Expose all their dirty little secrets. Give out their names, addresses, places of employment, email addresses, cell phone numbers, and buying habits. Pick out 5 or 6 and make them targets for harassment. Warn others that they will be exposed.
One caveat leave out the kids.

This sh*t has to stop with TweeterTrump personally attacking Americans.

[ZenDem]

20. That's not her style.

She's doing just fine by donating to the right causes and supporting education.

[usaf-vet]

29. I don't disagree. Remember I said IF I had her money I would hunt them down and expose them.

I don't disagree. Remember I said IF I had her money I would hunt them down and expose them. expose them to ridicule.

[still_one]

18. What a piece of garbage

[LymphocyteLover]

19. So incredibly dumb

We KNOW the article is true. The Atlantic is not radical left, it's quite centrist, and what's his deal with partisan funding of news? Like FoxNews isn't backed by the biggest rightwinger on the planet?

As usual, he's such a horrible hypocritical ass, and fuck his stupid lackeys like Charlie Kirk.

[lonely bird]

21. Time to subscribe to The Atlantic

[irisblue]

28. Remember in 2018 the hard public pushback about hiring a guy who wanted women hung?

Kevin Williamson has issues, big issues.

I cancelled my long term subscription then b/c of that.

snip from his wiki "In 2018, Williamson briefly joined The Atlantic. His employment was terminated following public criticism of a 2014 Twitter discussion in which he suggested hanging as a criminal punishment for abortion[8][9][10][11][12][13] and his reiteration of this suggestion on his National Review podcast in 2014.[14] Williamson later wrote that his comments had been intended to "mak[e] a point about the sloppy rhetoric of the abortion debate" rather than to promote capital punishment,[15] noting that he had previously expressed strong reservations about capital punishment in general.[16]."

Just an FYI.

[lonely bird]

49. Thanks

I actually forgot that. Must be age.

[irisblue]

50. Hard to keep up in these last 4 years.

The slow subtle right ward movement of US media is hard to see some days.


To be fair, March 2018 the Atlantic had tje first article I remember about Paul Mamafort.

[Illumination]

22. This is just another diversion from C-19 & all his lawsuits piling up!...

[muriel_volestrangler]

24. Does this matter at all? It's just one of many tantrums he's likely to throw today

Of all the people in the world who can ignore what Trump thinks and says, an immensely rich person who doesn't need any 'public opinion' to continue to be rich and able to hold Trump to account is particularly able to ignore this tweet.

I'm glad to see The Atlantic has an owner with deep pockets.

[Paladin]

25. I wonder how many death threats Ms. Jobs will get, as a result.

Our sick, sub-human "president" in action.

[left-of-center2012]

26. Shocked Trump didn't call her 'nasty'

[Kyblue1]

27. I just subscribed to the Atlantic in response to the article, thanks to the Orange fascist

I hope others will react to what the Con says by supporting anyone or any organization that he opposes

[pansypoo53219]

31. if u can't stand the heat old fancy man, get out of the white house.

we don't have to fluff your fat ass.

[MineralMan]

36. I'm certain she will be just devastated by His attack.

[Sloumeau]

37. This might give some insight as to why Trump is worrying about Steve Jobs:

[Eyeball_Kid]

38. The asshole can't leave anyone alone.

He hates absolutely EVERYONE.

[AllaN01Bear]

39. who is the con man?

[JohnnyRingo]

41. "...the money he left her"

See how Trump thinks? It wasn't their money, it was his money that Jobs let her have.

Good luck, Melania. She'd better be skimming.

[JohnnyRingo]

42. Doesn't this guy have a job or something?

He didn't have this much time to waste before he was elected.

Unfortunately, now the death threats will be filling her mail box.

[Ferrets are Cool]

44. Telling his cult to send hate letters to a widow. What a fabulous pResident we have.

[bedazzled]

45. He wasted ALL the money his demonic father left him

I read somewhere he would be a legitimate billionaire if he had just put the money in the bank instead of wasting it on his so called businesses. Wanker

[Warpy]

46. Interesting, I wondered why their editorial outlook had changed

They took a hard right turn when Ronny was in office and I dropped them. Lately, I've read quite a few good articles there.

The magazine is far from being a leftist screed on pinko paper, but it improved in the same way the WaPo did when Bezos bought it, backing off from the fascist fringe, hiring new writers, and becoming a worthwhile read.

I might have to get a subscription again. Anything Dumdum hates has to have something good about it.

[tanyev]

47. "She should be wasting her money on my fake wall and campaign!"

[femmedem]

48. Only reason he mentions Goldberg is to throw in the "world run by Jews" trope. n/t

[mjvpi]

51. Well I "wasted" my money on renewal of my Atlantic subscription......

......and added a gift subscription for my sister as soon as this story broke. Great journalism.

[Midnight Writer]

52. Gosh, Trump sure is upset over a "failing magazine" that "nobody reads", isn't he?

[Nexus2]

53. Jacob Blake, a man shot multiple times in the back

and paralyzed from the waist down probably for life, whines and sulks less than this Mango colored goon.

[raccoon]

54. What she does with her money is her own beeswax.

And Trump should keep his nose and mouth out of it.

[onetexan]

55. Exactly. The Con is jealous she's richer than he is.

[BadGimp]

56. I like that he is in capable of understanding why this kinda talk only hurts him...
