Donald Trump has never been shy about going after female journalists in particularly cruel personal terms, and he did that again early on Wednesday.
On Tuesday, The New York Times published a piece with the headline “Shorter Days, Signs of Fatigue: Trump Faces Realities of Aging in Office.” The report noted that Trump has been spotted falling asleep at public events, and also that he often starts his days later than he did in his first term.

“Mr. Trump can project round-the-clock energy, virility and physical stamina. Now at the end of his eighth decade, Mr. Trump and the people around him still talk about him as if he is the Energizer Bunny of presidential politics,” the Times story said. “The reality is more complicated: Mr. Trump, 79, is the oldest person to be elected to the presidency, and he is aging.”
The report was authored by Times reporters Katie Rodgers and Dylan Freedman, with the note that “Katie Rogers is a White House correspondent who has covered both of President Trump’s terms. Dylan Freedman analyzed Mr. Trump’s public schedules and social media posts.”
In a Truth Social post after the Times piece was published, Trump alleged that “the Creeps at the Failing New York Times are at it again,” before bragging about his 2024 election victory, trashing the Biden Administration, and referencing “the Radical Left Lunatics in the soon to fold New York Times.”
Then he set his sights on Rodgers, the writer of the story, attacking both her writing talent and looks.
“The writer of the story, Katie Rogers, who is assigned to write only bad things about me, is a third rate reporter who is ugly, both inside and out,” he wrote, while not mentioning the name of Freedman, the other author.
“There will be a day when I run low on Energy, it happens to everyone, but with a PERFECT PHYSICAL EXAM AND A COMPREHENSIVE COGNITIVE TEST (‘That was aced’) JUST RECENTLY TAKEN, it certainly is not now! GOD BLESS AMERICA & MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!!!,” he concluded the post by stating.
