Laurene Powell Jobs -- Steve Job's widow -- is in the crosshairs now that Donald Trump knows that her philanthropic foundation owns a majority stake in The Atlantic Magazine.
That magazine became the president's bete noir after an article by its editor, Jeffrey Goldberg, quoted Trump's remarks about fallen WWI soldiers (Losers! Suckers!) when Trump visited France in 2018. Also noted was that Trump didn't want to go to the military cemetery where they were buried because he thought that the weather that day would mess up his hair.
Trump furiously denounced the article as fake news, and his Roman candle of condemnation hasn't slowed up yet, even though other media confirmed the article's details.
Being caught in a lie or two or three didn't help Trump's mood. He went after Jobs' widow, Laurene Powell Jobs, who has donated $600,000 to the Biden campaign -- and he called on his base for reinforcement. Trump tweeted,
“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,” Trump tweeted. “Call her, write her, let her know how you feel!!!”
To those of us who consider these words an invitation to trollery if not actual violence, it's yet one more reason to put Trump in the country's rear-view window come November 3rd.
