What makes Donnie Trump think attacking this woman will work?

Donald J. Trump
@realDonaldTrump

“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!!”

Donnie is sicking his attack dogs on the widow of Apple founder Steve Jobs, Laurene Powell Jobs. Probably has a low opinion of her thinking she’s some dumb broad. Looks like she has the brains and resources to kick his ass.

From Wikipedia……..

Powell Jobs grew up in West Milford, New Jersey. She earned a B.A. in political science from the University of Pennsylvania School of Arts and Sciences and a B.S. degree in economics from the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania in 1985. She then worked for Goldman Sachs as a fixed-income trading strategist before returning to college to receive her M.B.A. degree from the Stanford Graduate School of Business in 1991.

In 2004, Powell Jobs founded the Emerson Collective, a private company structured as a Limited Liability Company, that supports social entrepreneurs and organizations working in education and immigration reform, social justice, media, and journalism and conservation through partnerships, grants, and investments. Through Emerson, Powell Jobs owns The Atlantic and Axios.

She owns 20% of the Washington Wizards and Washington Capitals NHL and NBA teams.

In the 2016 U.S. presidential election, Powell Jobs donated $2 million to Hillary Clinton and raised a further $4 million for her.

In the 2020 U.S. presidential primaries, Powell Jobs donated to the campaigns of Democratic candidates Amy Klobuchar, Joe Biden, Pete Buttigieg, Kamala Harris, Cory Booker, and Michael Bennet. After Joe Biden became the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee, she went on to donate over $600,000 to his campaign.

In 2019 her net worth was estimated at 21.6 billion.

And she has a degree from Wharton. She probably attended the classes herself. Midnight Writer Sep 2020 #11

I wonder if that explains how the story on Trump's dislike of the U.S Military was timed so perfectly to swift-kick him in the testicles.

I wish I could thank her in person.

He's highly impulsive and when he's criticized or attacked? He flails with ugliness in all directions.

This attack will not help him. And frankly, going after a private citizen, encouraging his supporters to harass Jobs' widow should be reason enough for immediate twitter suspension.
