President of the United States Donald Trump He launched a blistering attack on a new book by New York Times reporters Maggie Haberman and Jonathan Swan, calling the book “largely fabricated, fake news, and fiction” after they revealed that he left piles of chip bags, ice cream boxes and Starbucks wrappers on the floor of his White House bedroom.“According to Margot Hagman’s quick and boring briefing about my book, it is mostly fabricated, fake news, and mostly fiction, like much of what she has written about me over the years,” Trump wrote in a post published on Truth Social. “She is a third-rate writer and intellect who gets a first-rate paycheck because of me, your favorite president.”He added: “Remember, I won the election, the big wins – all seven swing states, the popular vote, 86 percent of the counties…and they didn’t have the tapes they were implying. This is just another Margot hoax!”
‘Regime Change’ details ‘gross’ bedroom habits
According to sources, the book “Regime Change: Inside Donald Trump’s Imperial Presidency” triggered an extraordinary personal breakdown for the 80-year-old president, so severe that it was reported that government staff were banned from speaking publicly about it.According to the book, Trump “left a lot of trash in his bedroom from all the snacks he ate.” As a habitual nighttime snacker, the president would often leave empty potato chip bags, Starbucks wrappers and ice cream cartons in the trash or scattered on the floor, Haberman and Swann wrote.White House staff were eventually forced to begin actively monitoring trash cans near the president’s bedroom after the president was discovered to have accidentally thrown away sterling silver White House dinnerware along with snack packaging.
Trump ‘really triggered’
Zeteo reporter Asawin Suebsaeng said the book “really triggered” Trump. “It makes him look so disgusting,” a senior Trump appointee told Suebsaeng. “The president of the United States sees everything, he knows what’s going on with the trash cans and bathrooms, and thinks this is complete nonsense.”In addition to bedroom floors, the book delves into Trump’s bathroom arrangements. The section of carpet closest to the shower is often found to be soaked through, and staff aren’t sure why, although they are concerned about mold underneath.Trump has reportedly insisted privately: “I wouldn’t do that!” and characterized the claims as “slander.” Suebsaeng reported, however, that some aides privately thought: “Uh…yeah, you know.”It’s been a painful week for the White House since Regime Change hit shelves, and the snack scandal is just the latest fallout. Months before the book was published, Trump ordered a sweeping leak hunt to identify Haberman and Swann’s sources within his administration. The effort ultimately stalled, largely because too many of the top officials tasked with finding the leakers were themselves leakers.
