As New York Times correspondent and so-called “Trump Whisperer” Maggie Haberman prepares for the impending release of her bombshell book, Confidence Man: The Making of Donald Trump and the Breaking of America, on October 4th, excerpts from the explosive tell-all have been making the rounds in the media cycle in recent weeks — effectively exposing an onslaught of some of the ex-president’s dirtiest secrets. And that’s just in the portions of the book that they’ve been willing to make public before its official release — leading us to confidently believe that Confidence Man is going to be a doozy of epic proportions once it finally hits the shelves.
Again, the tea spilled in Maggie’s thundering tell-all has, as expected, been hot and plentiful. But, there was one particular revelation in one of the newest excerpts of the book that ultimately left us with a nauseating pit in our stomachs.
Donald Trump infamously ignited a nasty feud with Democratic House Rep. Debbie Dingell after the lawmaker — who won her seat in 2014 in her husband’s place following his retirement — publicly supported and voted for Trump’s first impeachment, over his attempted extortion of Ukraine in an effort to acquire political dirt on his then-opponent, Joe Biden, and his family.
Dingell’s support for Trump’s ousting, of course, ignited fury in the then-POTUS, leading him to launch a downright nasty attack against the lawmaker during a rally in her state of Michigan, where Trump disgustingly took aim at her recently deceased husband, former Congressman John Dingell. Debbie ultimately went public with her criticism of Donald Trump’s immature, childish, vile attack against her late husband — which, all told, apparently led to an extremely puzzling phone call made to Debbie, according to Haberman.

In bombshell new excerpts published by the Washington Post, Haberman writes in her upcoming tell-all book:
When she answered, the man on the other end identified himself as a Washington Post reporter, and said he knew her husband from his investigations in Congress. The name he gave was not one she recognized. The man asked Dingell if she was looking for an apology from Trump. No, she replied, merely that people could be civil to one another.”
Haberman goes on to add, “As the man talked, Dingell couldn’t shake the idea that his voice sounded like that of the forty-fifth president.”
While it certainly sounds a bit insane for any person who is actually sane, to begin with, it’s worth noting here that Donald Trump has been known in the past to pose as the fictitious Trump Organization official, John Barron, when speaking to reporters about his family company. Suffice it to say, I wouldn’t put this past him for one second.
