US President Donald Trump has vehemently criticized a New York Times article that highlighted his age and apparent signs of fatigue, labeling the publication as an ‘enemy of the people’ and personally attacking the female author of the report. In a lengthy post on his Truth Social platform, the 79-year-old Republican leader dismissed the claims, asserting that he is in peak physical and cognitive condition. Trump emphasized his recent ‘perfect physical exam’ and a cognitive test he claims to have ‘aced,’ while also listing his accomplishments, including last year’s election victory and a robust US stock market. Despite his vigorous defense, the Times report noted a reduction in Trump’s public events and domestic travel compared to his first term, alongside instances where he appeared to fall asleep during official duties. The article also raised questions about his health, citing an October MRI scan and visible physical ailments. Trump’s aggressive response included derogatory remarks about the reporter, continuing a pattern of personal attacks on journalists. The Times stood by its reporting, stating that its coverage is based on factual, firsthand reporting and will not be deterred by intimidation tactics.
