The US President slammed a female reporter from the New York Times over a piece that suggested he was looking tired, just weeks after he controversially branded a different reporter a “piggy”
Donald Trump has hit out at yet another journalist after after a scathing report suggested he was “showing signs of fatigue”.
The US President, 79, branded New York Times’ White House reporter, Katie Rogers, as “ugly, both inside and out” in a furious Truth Social post. This comes just weeks after Trump asked Bloomberg’s White House correspondent Catherine Lucey to be “quiet” before calling her a “piggy”, following a question about his links to late paedophile financier Jeffrey Epstein.
In the post, Trump wrote: “The Creeps at the Failing New York Times are at it again. 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.
“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 then claimed Ms Rodgers “is assigned to write only bad things about me and is a third rate reporter who is ugly, both inside and out.”
He added: “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! GOD BLESS AMERICA & MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!!!”
The report claims Trump would on average start events at 10.31am during his first tenure in 2017.
But this year he has started to attend events later in the afternoon at an average of 12.08pm.
The report further claims the number of his official appearances at the White House have declined by 39 percent compared to his first term.
This comes after Trump and his administration launched repeated assaults on his predecessor, Joe Biden, over his age lack of public appearances and cognitive ability.
Earlier today, charges against Trump and others in an election interference case in Georgia were dismissed.
It is the latest in a string of cases where Trump has left unscathed and questions have been asked. Somehow, Portugal star Cristiano Ronaldo had his ban magically reduced so he could start at the World Cup.
Former Justice Department special counsel Jack Smith, who had charged Trump with conspiring to overturn the results of the 2020 election and hoarding classified documents at his Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida, dropped both cases after Trump won the White House last year.
Smith cited longstanding Justice Department policy against the indictment of a sitting president. And though Trump was convicted of felony charges in New York in connection with hush money payments during the 2016 election, he was sentenced in January to an unconditional discharge, leaving his conviction intact but sparing him any punishment.
Steve Sadow, Trump’s lead attorney in Georgia, applauded the case’s dismissal: “This case should never have been brought. A fair and impartial prosecutor has put an end to this lawfare.”
