Trump demanded "a full apology from the failing Forbes Magazine, and their third rate psycho writer, Dan Alexander, for the many false and libelous articles that have written about me," claiming the publication is owned by the "Communist Chinese Government." (Forbes has been owned by Hong Kong-based investment group Integrated Whale Media Investments since 2014).

The ex-president went on to claim Alexander has cooperated with the "Racist and Incompetent" Letitia James, the New York Attorney General leading the ongoing fraud investigation into Trump and his businesses. And it's true Alexander has changed the course of the trial; earlier this month, he wrote an article claiming former Trump Organization CFO Allen Weisselberg wasn't telling the truth when he told prosecutors he "never focused" on calculating the square footage of Trump's penthouse at Trump Tower. (The apartment hit headlines due to the disparity between its actual size, which is 10,996 square feet, and the 30,000 square feet it was reported to be in Trump's financial documents.)

The article was based on "a review of old emails and notes, some of which the attorney general's office does not possess, [that] show that Weisselberg absolutely thought about Trump's apartment – and played a key role in trying to convince Forbes over the course of several years that it was worth more than it really was." As a result of the report, Weissselberg was promptly dismissed, although both Trump's lawyers and the prosecuting team can call him back as a witness if needed.
