US President Donald Trump has lashed out at Steve Jobs’ widow Laurene Powell Jobs, criticizing her involvement with The Atlantic magazine, saying Jobs ‘would not be happy that his wife is wasting money he left her on a failing Radical Left Magazine.’
The comments were part of Trump’s attack on The Atlantic after the publication published an article claiming that Trump referred to American World War One dead as “losers” and U.S. troops as “suckers,” which he denies.
On Sunday, Trump tweeted his disapproval of Laurene’s alledged $500,000 donation to Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden’s campaign.
Reported by Newsweek, Jobs is the founder of the investing and philanthropic Emerson Collective organization, which became the majority owner of The Atlantic in July 2017.
“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 wrote. Trump was referring to Editor-in-Chief Jeffrey Goldberg, who has run The Atlantic since 2016.
