New book claims Trump may have called Dingell pretending to be reporter

ANN ARBOR, MI — The day after President Donald Trump verbally attacked U.S. Rep. Debbie Dingell and her late husband, former Congressman John Dingell, at a Michigan rally in December 2019, Dingell said she got a strange phone call.

It was from someone claiming to be a Washington Post reporter, whose name she didn’t know, calling her cell phone from an unknown number, said Dingell, D-Ann Arbor.

As the call went on, Dingell grew convinced the person with whom she was speaking was the president pretending to be someone else, which Trump has done before.

That call is now documented in “Confidence Man: The Making of Donald Trump and the Breaking of America,” a new book by New York Times political reporter Maggie Haberman.

“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,” Haberman writes in the book. “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. As the man talked, Dingell couldn’t shake the idea that his voice sounded like that of the forty-fifth president.”

4. No Democrat would withstand any of this

“Unprecedented “ shitstorm of criminality and hatefulness. Never forget what they did to Howard Dean. The press hounded him out of the election over what was a pep rally whoop of celebration.

The double standard is putrid and it reeks!
