Donald Trump Jr., the president’s son, is taking exception to an article published in Newsweek magazine that claims that his dad and murderer Charles Manson used similar language to attract followers. On Twitter today, Trump Jr. says the publication, which he asserted formerly was a legitimate news outlet, has now devolved into a “liberal clickbait rag.”
Newsweek, which presumably got the message, apparently responded by removing all references to President Trump in the article, with the addition of an editor’s note stating that “An earlier version of this story did not meet Newsweek’s editorial standards and has been revised accordingly.”
This note has left some wondering how the essay in its original form made it through the editorial process in the first place if it was substandard.
