President Trump early Sunday ripped a new book by New York Times reporters about his second term.

"Based on a very quick and boring briefing concerning the Magot Hagerman book about me, it is mostly made up, Fake News, largely fiction, as have been most of the things she has written about me for so many years. She is a third rate writer and intellect, who has made a first rate income because of your favorite President, ME," Trump wrote on Truth Social.

Maggie Haberman and Jonathan Swan, are the journalists behind the book, Regime Change.

"She was wrong about me on the Elections, although she knew I was going to win, BIG! She was wrong about me on the Russia, Russia, Russia Hoax, and she was wrong about me on just about everything else. But she continues to spew out garbage, and people continue to buy it," he wrote. 

"REMEMBER, I WON THE ELECTION, BIG - ALL SEVEN SWING STATES, THE POPULAR VOTE, 86% of the Counties…And they don’t have the audio tapes that they imply they have. Just another Margot Con Job! And Iran will never have a Nuclear Weapon!!!" he also wrote.

Trump was referencing the possibility that the authors obtained Situation Room recordings, such as one allegedly held about how to handle the Epstein files controversy.
