Trump: Forbes ‘continues to hang around like a bad disease'
President Trump attacked Forbes on Monday, calling out one of the outlet's journalists by name as he ripped the financial news publication over its coverage of him. 'Not that it really matters, but a terribly untalented writer for badly failing Forbes Magazine, Dan Alexander, who probably can't get a meaningful job in the business, has written so inaccurately about me that it is ridiculous,' Trump wrote on his Truth Social platform. 'Many others also, the media is mostly Fake News, but Forbes doesn't even try to get things right.' The president said he hasn't spoken to journalists at Forbes 'in years,' claiming the outlet is biased against, writing 'they're so inaccurate (purposely!) about everything.' 'I would have thought Forbes would be DEAD by now, but it continues to hang around like a bad disease,' Trump continued. 'Isn't it owned by a hostile nation? Anyway, that's what happens when you have bad reporters with evil intentions. Eventually the publication dies. I've happily seen it over, and over, again!' Forbes has been owned since 2014 by Hong Kong-based Integrated Whale Media Investments. It was the second time in less than a week the president has singled out a reporter at a major publication as part of his effort to discredit news reporting about his administration. The president has attacked the New York Times, Washington Post and each of the major broadcast news networks over coverage and threatened to have his FCC scrutinize them. Trump most recently attacked Forbes in 2023, when it dropped the then former president off of its 'wealthiest Americans' list.
