President Donald Trump slammed the “creeps” at a major news outlet for running a story about what one reporter claimed were “signs of fatigue,” prompting a retaliatory punch from the 47th president.
“The Creeps at the Failing New York Times are at it again,” the president wrote on Truth Social.
He continued, “I won the 2024 Presidential Election in a Landslide, winning all Seven Swing States, the Popular Vote, and the Electoral College by a lot. I won our Nation’s Districts by 2750 to 550, a complete wipeout. I settled 8 Wars, have 48 New Stock Market Highs, our Economy is Great, and our Country is RESPECTED AGAIN all over the World, respected like never before.”
The story in question, titled “Signs of Fatigue: Trump Faces Realities of Aging in Office,” suggested that the president’s battery is running low, and compared him often to much younger presidents like George W. Bush or Barack Obama.
“President Trump has always used his stamina and energy as a political strength,” the header read. “But that image is getting harder for him to sustain.”
The suggestion that his energy or his focus may be waning is not something President Trump took lightly. He slammed the outlet in his statement for ignoring his hard work on the economy, and instead focusing on writing negative stories.
“Yet despite all of this the Radical Left Lunatics in the soon to fold New York Times did a hit piece on me that I am perhaps losing my Energy, despite facts that show the exact opposite,” he argued. “They know this is wrong, as is almost every thing that they write about me, including election results, ALL PURPOSELY NEGATIVE. This cheap ‘RAG’ is truly an ‘ENEMY OF THE PEOPLE.’”
He described the journalist who wrote the story as “ugly, both inside and out,” and pointed to his “highest Poll Numbers, ever, and with record setting investment” in America.
“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 (‘That was aced’) JUST RECENTLY TAKEN, it certainly is not now!” he concluded.
