Trump trashes his former attorney Ty Cobb as 'WHACK JOB'

President Donald Trump on Friday excoriated one of his former attorneys, Ty Cobb, who has become a vocal critic of his administration and a prominent voice on left-wing cable shows.

Trump specifically took aim at Cobb's apparent lack of caution when discussing sensitive matters within earshot of reporters.

"Ty Cobb, one of the Worst Lawyers in Washington, D.C., a REAL LOSER, was fired years ago because he was having lunch with another lawyer talking about one of my many cases, while sitting next to two 'reporters' from The Failing New York Times," Trump posted on Truth Social. "He talked loud and stupidly, and they wrote a story on what he said about the case."

"Guys like him and another major Loser, Miles Taylor, who I have no idea who he is, make livings talking about me like they know me well," he went on. "I fired Ty Cobb, because he was a WHACKJOB, who I hardly knew, and he knew nothing about me. Likewise, Miles Taylor is, in many ways, even worse, because I have no idea who he is, except that CNN and MSDNC put him on, for years, like he’s a 'TRUMP' expert."

Miles Taylor was the chief of staff to Trump's first-term Department of Homeland Security secretary, Kirstjen Nielsen. He became famous after revealing himself to be the anonymous author of a notorious NYT op-ed in which he detailed the efforts of anti-Trump figures within the administration to hamstring his agenda.

"So, when you watch these two guys on Television, which, fortunately, doesn’t happen often because there’s very little audience at either CNN or MSDNC, remember, they know nothing about me — Just two DOPES trying to make a 'buck' by pretending to know something about someone who turned out to be very famous," Trump continued. "These two Networks are forewarned not to put them on the air again, because they have no knowledge or credibility with respect to anything have to do with DONALD J. TRUMP."
