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.

Karoline Leavitt shows 'increasing frustration' as White House grows more erratic: insider

There is a perceptible sea change at the White House as Donald Trump’s fortunes take a turn for the worse, and press secretary Karoline Leavitt is showing visible signs of stress dealing with it.

According to White House correspondent Anushka Asthana writing for The i Paper, the shift is unmistakable. More journalists are cramming into the briefing room daily, sensing that unpredictable chaos could erupt at any moment.

The contrast to six weeks ago is stark, she wrote. In his State of the Union Address, Trump spent a 107-minute speech boasting about falling gas prices — his centerpiece achievement. Iran merited roughly three minutes near the end, almost as an afterthought.

Now the Iran war is all-consuming, along with the dire economic consequences it has unleashed. In a recent Ipsos poll, 66 percent said they wanted the US to end its involvement quickly, even if all goals aren't achieved, compared with just 27 percent who support Trump pushing on.

Trump's mental state is visibly deteriorating under the pressure, according to Asthana.

"There is no question that he has become more erratic in recent weeks; that the frustration and anger he is feeling is bubbling up to the surface and causing him to lash out," she wrote.
