Fuming Trump demands NYT apologize as he drowns in negative coverage

President Donald Trump unloaded on The New York Times in a scathing Truth Social rant on Monday over the publication's negative coverage of the Trump administration.

Trump's comments about the Times come as the administration faces significant scrutiny for its war in Iran. The Times has been highly critical of the war, and has published bombshell stories that undercut the administration's account. For instance, the outlet investigated a bombing of an Iranian girl's school that killed 175 civilians and determined it was likely that the U.S. hit the school. Trump officials have consistently denied the account.

Trump trashed the newspaper's coverage in a new Truth Social post.

"For those people that still read The Failing New York Times and, despite the fact that Iran has been totally OBLITERATED, Militarily, and otherwise, you would think that Iran is actually winning or, at the very least, doing quite well — But that’s not true, and The New York Times knows that it’s FAKE NEWS!" Trump raged. "When does this Corrupt Media Outlet apologize for their LIES and horrible actions against me, my supporters, and our Country itself! HAVE THEY NO SHAME? HAVE THEY NO SENSE OF DECENCY?"
