Trump knocks authors of ‘A Very Stable Genius’: ‘Two stone cold losers from Amazon WP’

President Trump lashed out at the authors of a new book about the Trump administration on Monday, calling them “stone cold losers.”

In a tweet that also accused House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) of having “made up” his phone call with Ukraine’s president that has since become center to his impeachment, Trump asserted that “almost every story” in the book “A Very Stable Genius” by Washington Post reporters Philip Rucker and Carol Leonnig was “a made up lie.”

“Two stone cold losers from Amazon WP. Almost every story is a made up lie, just like corrupt pol Shifty Schiff, who fraudulently made up my call with Ukraine. Fiction!” he tweeted.

The tweet marked his latest barrage against the newspaper and the two authors after he previously tweeted days ago that their book had “already proven to be inaccurately reported.”

The book, which paints the Trump administration as riddled with paranoid staffers, is set to release Tuesday. It currently sits at No. 1 on Amazon’s bestselling books list.

A reconstructed transcript of Trump’s phone call with Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelensky was released in November, in which Trump was revealed to have pushed for a criminal investigation into former Vice President Joe Biden (D) by Ukrainian officials.

Democrats and other critics of the president have called the act an abuse of power and an attempt to solicit foreign interference in a U.S. presidential election.
