Donald Trump has again lashed out over negative press coverage of his war with Iran, singling out The New York Times for criticism after it asked what the conflict had actually achieved.
“The way the Corrupt and Failing New York Times is covering stories on a very battered and beat up Iran, through FAKE & MADE UP ‘FACTS’ is, in my opinion, ‘TREASONOUS,'” the president wrote on his Truth Social platform late Sunday.
“I will be adding all of their false and ridiculous reporting to my multi Billion Dollar lawsuit against them. They are Criminals!”
Shortly beforehand, he had vented his fury on the same subject in another post that read: “The headline in the Corrupt and Failing New York Times: ‘What Changed After Almost 4 Months of War? Analysts Say Not Much.’ REALLY?
“Their Military is DONE, their Navy is GONE, their Air Force is GONE, their Launching Pads, Missiles, Drones and Manufacturing of same, is almost GONE, their top two sets of Leaders are GONE, their Inflation is at 250%, their Economy is BROKEN, their Soldiers aren’t being paid, the Hormuz Strait is OPEN, THE OIL IS GUSHING, and the U.S. Stock Market and Jobs are at record HIGHS.

“That’s what’s CHANGED, you corrupt and unethical cowards, and MORE!!!”
Opinion: The Trumpelstilskin methodology, sue, get issues into the judicial system where it will take time (a long time) to adjudicate. This ties up court time with frivolous lawsuits while keeping the issue in the public space. All the while normal life contracts along with the business sector. MA
