Former President Donald Trump recently launched a scathing critique on Forbes, along with several other adversaries, in a social media tirade. The expletive-filled outburst came after Forbes removed him from its list of the wealthiest Americans. Trump also made unfounded allegations against the magazine and others in a series of tweets on his new social media platform, Truth Social.
Just a day after suggesting that the recent conflict between Israel and Hamas would not have happened if he were still in office, Trump turned his attention to Forbes. He accused the magazine of bias and implied, without presenting any evidence, that Forbes was colluding with New York Attorney General Letitia James, who is currently pursuing legal action against him on fraud charges.
Trump labeled Forbes as “China-owned,” highlighting its connection to the China Investment Corporation, the country’s sovereign wealth fund. He further claimed that Forbes had lost its relevance over the years and suggested that the magazine knew less about him than individuals like Stormy Daniels and Rosie O’Donnell, who had no personal knowledge of him.
The former president expressed his anger at being excluded from Forbes’ “Fake Forbes 400 list,” which he dismissed as outdated and discredited. He insinuated that Forbes was involved in what he termed the “Election Interference Scam,” suggesting that their actions were retaliation for his tough stance on China, which he claimed had resulted in significant financial gains for the United States.
In an attempt to bolster his argument, Trump claimed a surge in popularity among Republicans, stating that he was leading by a substantial margin over his opponent, Joe Biden. He concluded his social media rant by ridiculing Forbes and questioning its relevance.
Trump’s outrage stemmed from Forbes’ coverage of his declining net worth and his subsequent removal from the list of the 400 wealthiest individuals in the United States. Forbes defended its decision by citing the lack of profitability of Trump’s social media platform, Truth Social, despite its considerable attention due to Trump’s potential bid for the presidency.
CHINA OWNED FORBES IS A PARTICIPANT IN THE ELECTION INTERFERENCE SCAM, AND AFTER WHAT I HAVE DONE TO CHINA, WITH HUNDREDS OF BILLIONS OF DOLLARS BEING PAID TO THE USA, WHO CAN BLAME THEM? FOR YEARS FORBES HAS ATTACKED ME WITH REALLY DUMB WRITERS ASSIGNED TO HIT ME HARD, AND I AM NOW UP 60 POINTS ON THE REPUBLICANS, AND BEATING CROOKED JOE BY A LOT. SO MUCH FOR FORBES!
