| Donald Trump - as 'John Baron' - reportedly threatened author in 1980s | |
| Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump’s old habit of pretending to be a Trump Organization spokesperson named “John Barron/Baron” when leaking flattering anecdotes to reporters has been known for quite some time. Trump’s now-retired nom de plume has largely been a subject of humor, an example of the preternatural media savvy of a construction tycoon whose self-image is inextricably linked with the attention of the news media. | |
| But a report from Buzzfeed News suggests that Trump’s alter ego wasn’t just a tool for massaging his ego and boosting circulation to New York tabloid papers. According to a Trump biographer, “John Baron” threatened him with financial ruin if he continued research for a biography on Trump. | |
| “I was spooked enough to go home and put all my assets in my wife’s name at the time, praying that she wouldn’t want to divorce me,” author Jerome Tuccille, who wrote Trump: The Saga of America’s Most Powerful Real Estate Baron, told Buzzfeed News. “I figured it was safer in her hands with Trump’s lawyers coming at me.” | |
| According to Tuccille, he was contacted during the research portion of writing the book by a man representing himself as John Baron of the Trump Organization. | |
| “I understand you’ve been calling people all over town harassing them and misrepresenting yourself,” Tuccille wrote in the book, recounting a conversation with “Baron” in which it was suggested that “I wouldn’t have a pair of socks left to my name if I went ahead with the book.” | |
| “It was chilling,” Tuccille told BuzzFeed News. “It was chilling because I assumed that John Baron was a higher-up in his organization and that he was threatening me.” | |
