Donald Trump launched an attack on Steve Jobs’ widow early Sunday morning, sharing Charlie Kirk’s — the founder of a right-wing shithole — tweet that states that Laurene Powell Jobs donated to Democratic nominee Joe Biden’s campaign. Trump is trying to discount the bombshell report from The Atlantic by calling on his supporters to harass Mrs. Jobs, whose philanthropy organization Emerson Collective owns the magazine.
The outlet’s report of Trump’s disparaging remarks about veterans and military members has been backed up by the Associated Press and even Fox News. And we’ve all witnessed Trump’s disgusting attack on a Gold Star family and the late Sen. John McCain for being a prisoner of war. So, Trump is calling on his lint-linking base to call and write a widow – which seems very on-brand for this president.
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

Twitter users jumped in.
Steve Jobs loathed you and everything you stand for. also: a real billionaire who built an empire. as opposed to the guy who inherited 400 million dollars from his tyrant klansman father and squandered it all on a series of increasingly boneheaded ventures

You neither get to tell her how to spend her money, nor speak for Steve Jobs.
Worry about how your gold digging wife spends money. https://t.co/FifTNDvDH3

What kind of shithole president encourages his supporters to harass a private citizen because she donated to his opponent?

Does Steve Jobs’ wife also own Fox News, because they also reported the exact same story, moron.

The Atlantic published an article earlier this week that alleges that Trump called fallen military service members and prisoners of war “losers” and “suckers.” One only needs to look at Trump’s past remarks to confirm the story.
