Trump Launches Fiery Attack on NY Times Over ‘Hit Piece’

UPDATE: Former President Donald Trump has unleashed a furious tirade against the New York Times, branding the publication “creeps” after they reported on his declining energy levels during public appearances. The article, released just hours ago, highlights observations from insiders noting Trump’s fatigue as he navigates the challenges of his age.

The report specifically mentions an incident on November 6, 2023, when Trump appeared to doze off during an Oval Office event, raising eyebrows about his stamina. This revelation has prompted Trump to take to Truth Social to vehemently deny any claims of waning energy.

“The Creeps at the Failing New York Times are at it again,” Trump declared in a post early Wednesday morning. He boasted about winning the 2024 Presidential Election in a “landslide,” claiming victories in all seven swing states and a popular vote advantage, despite these claims lacking verification.

Trump continued to assert his accomplishments, stating, “I settled 8 wars, have 48 new stock market highs, and our economy is great.” He also claimed the previous administration had the “highest inflation in history” but that he has successfully lowered it to “normal” levels. His insistence on high energy levels was punctuated by a reference to a recent comprehensive cognitive test he claimed to have “aced.”

“There will be a day when I run low on energy, it happens to everyone, but with a PERFECT PHYSICAL EXAM AND A COMPREHENSIVE COGNITIVE TEST just recently taken, it certainly is not now!”

The former President’s tirade took a personal turn, targeting the article’s author, Katie Rogers, whom he described as a “third-rate reporter” and criticized her appearance. Such remarks have drawn widespread condemnation, highlighting the ongoing tensions surrounding Trump’s relationship with the media.

Despite the backlash, Trump proclaimed, “I have my highest poll numbers ever,” suggesting that the negative coverage would not affect his support base. His fiery response underscores the ongoing narrative of his political resilience amid scrutiny.

This incident marks yet another chapter in Trump’s contentious relationship with the media, raising questions about the impact of age and energy on his political ambitions as he prepares for another campaign.

As this story develops, it remains crucial to monitor Trump’s public appearances and responses to media critiques, as they could significantly influence his supporters and broader public opinion.
