Jeffrey Goldberg
Jeffrey Mark Goldberg (born September 22, 1965) is a propagandist and editor-in-chief of The Atlantic known for creating fake news stories about President Trump, such as the 'sucker and losers' hoax,[1] or that President Trump said he needed Hitler's generals.[2]

On July 21, 2016 Jeffrey Goldberg published an article in The Atlantic entitled, It’s Official: Hillary Clinton is Running Against Vladimir Putin, using the same opposition research material from the Steele dossier paid for by Hillary Clinton: “The Republican nominee for president, Donald J. Trump, has chosen this week to unmask himself as a de facto agent of Russian President Vladimir Putin.” Goldberg alleged Trump’s admiration for Putin and other “equivocating, mercenary statements are unprecedented in the history of Republican foreign policymaking.”
However, insofar as Trump’s fundamental aim was to find some common ground with Putin, it’s a goal that has been a 25-year U.S. policy constant across party lines. Starting with George H.W. Bush, every American commander-in-chief since the end of the Cold War sought to “reset” relations with Russia. But Trump, according to Goldberg, was different. “Trump’s understanding of America's role in the world aligns with Russia’s geostrategic interests.”
Goldberg alleged Trump “watered down” the RNC's platform on Ukraine and “questioned whether the U.S., under his leadership, would keep its [ NATO ] commitments,” including Article 5. Thus, Goldberg concluded: “Donald Trump, should he be elected president, would bring an end to the postwar international order.”[3]
