President Trump has publicly lashed out at The New York Times for a report that suggested he has been showing signs of fatigue and is spending less time on public engagements. Trump, 79, insisted he is "full of energy," asserting that the article represents a "hit piece" and criticized the outlet's ongoing scrutiny of his age and stamina. He remarked, “The Creeps at the Failing New York Times are at it again,” while reiterating his accomplishments and ongoing efforts in office, according to The Hill, HuffPost, and SCMP.

In a lengthy response on social media, Trump described working harder than ever and expressed frustration at what he labeled negative reporting. He emphasized his recent health assessment, including a "PERFECT PHYSICAL EXAM AND A COMPREHENSIVE COGNITIVE TEST," which he claimed to have passed with flying colors. However, the NY Times article noted a visible decline in Trump's public schedule and suggested changes in his daily routine, reports HuffPost and SCMP.

Trump's turbulent relationship with the media continued as he directed personal insults towards the article's author, calling her "ugly, both inside and out." He has previously used similar derogatory comments toward female journalists, reflecting a pattern in his interactions with the press. The New York Times responded to his criticisms by affirming the accuracy of their reporting and dismissing his insults as intimidation tactics, according to The Hill and SCMP.
