Trump strongly denies the accusation and accused Steve Jobs’ widow of “wasting money he left her on a failing Radical Left Magazine (Atlantic) that is run by a conman (Goldberg).”

“We all have to use anonymous sources, especially in a climate where the president of the United States tries to actively intimidate,” Goldberg said of his editorial decision to cite anonymous sources. “These are not people who are anonymous to me.”
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. Call her, write her, let her know how you feel!!! https://t.co/wwuoP85bQE
