Be angry at the person leaving out "Report: " from the article in this post, not Axios. It's very clear that Axios is reporting on private conversations from its title and contents.
And their source is pulled from an NYT article, so they add absolutely nothing.
Indeed, Mr. Trump has often been in a foul mood the past few weeks. He has ranted about Ms. Harris. He has called her “nasty,” on “Fox & Friends,” and a “bitch,” repeatedly, in private, according to two people who heard the remark on different occasions.
You know that's how much of journalism works, right? A single outlet will break a story, and then other outlets will report on that story, citing that original outlet as the source. They directly link to the NYT in the Axios article.
I think he may know the basics of it, but how much is another question. Another couple of weeks like the last couple of weeks and the down ballot may be running away from him. If that happens, he may have the view of the extent of his problems. Of course, he'll go into denial first but then it will be too late.
Some advice I received as a kid from a relative who navigated early adulthood in the 70s: If someone calls you a bitch it probably means you’re doing something right.
That statement definitely applies here with the full force of the nuance intended.
Former President Trump has been in a foul mood the past few weeks and has repeatedly called Vice President a "bitch" in private, the N.Y. Times' Maggie Haberman and Jonathan Swan report.
If you read the article, you'll see he said it in private which has nothing to do with public statements. But, why read the article when you can write something right off the headline, right?
