NYT's Habermann reveals identity of Trump's 'drunk/drugged up loser' - and who else he fears

Raw Story
April 21, 2018

Following an early Saturday morning Twitter rant by President Donald Trump, palace intrigue centered upon which former staffer was accused of being a "drunk/drugged up loser."

Two former advisors were listed by name in the story, longtime political confidante Roger Stone and campaign advisor Sam Nunberg.

Both denied being the target of the commander-in-chief's social media bullying.

Now, the New York Times correspondent Maggie Habermann - who was also a target of Trump's Twitter abuse - has offered her analysis.

"Trump is referring to Sam Nunberg in his tweet," Habermann reported.
"He's too aware of what Stone could do to him to be that direct."

Most of us assumed it was Nunberg immediately! So Sam's been thrown under the bus, since he lost his shit on multiple national networks...as an aside, he seems to me a man with a fragile mental health history and I'm not surprised the pressure of this would get to him, and now Trump is trying to use the struggles of one man to not only discredit his account but to send a message that he has Cohen's back??? Yeah, this should go well.

Burnett: "And it's an awkward question to ask, but, you know, I've interviewed you before, you're sitting very close to me. We talked earlier about what people in the White House were saying about you. Talking about whether you were drinking or on drugs or whatever had happened today. Um, talking to you, I have smelled alcohol on your breath".

I'm sure he was drinking....hell, I'd be drinking too if I was a low level guy caught in this mess and I knew my rear end was considered a sacrifice to prosecutors!

The Third Lady is on a personal crusade against cyberbullying! That could be bad news for Donald if she finds out.
