BURSTPresident Trump tore into The New York Times and blasted a pair of its leading journalists over the newspaper's coverage of his administration in recent days.
"The Failing New York Times insists on using Liddle’ Peter Baker, a really bad writer and Obama biographer and sycophant, to write many of the long and boring Fake News hit pieces against me," Trump wrote on his Truth Social platform Sunday night. "The only two people with less talent than Peter are his 'wife,' the lovely Susan Glasser, and, of course, Maggot Hagerman, who may be the least talented writer in the entire stable of New York Times’ MEDIOCRITY!"
Trump did not call out specific pieces of Times reporting, but the newspaper has published extensive pieces in recent weeks on his immigration agenda, trade policies and relationship with billionaire Elon Musk.
"There’s something really wrong with these people, and their SICK, TRUMP DERANGED EDITORS," the president wrote. "They did everything within their power to help rig the Election against me. How did that work out??? MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!!!"
Trump has repeatedly attacked the mainstream press during his first two months in office and has knocked the Times specifically in recent days, calling it a "corrupt" organization that he says is out to get him.
