The president of the United States, , has a long history of controversial comments and insults directed at women, including journalists, politicians and other public figures. In the last week, he has stepped on the accelerator. , he shouted at a Bloomberg reporter who asked him about his relationship with the pedophile Jeffrey Epstein, his old friend. Now his target has been a newspaper reporter The New York Times.
Let’s go with the context. The Republican assured yesterday that he is in good health and has not lost his energy, in a response to , published by said newspaper, about the signs of fatigue shown by the 79-year-old president, who described the newspaper as a “cheap pamphlet.”
“The lunatics of the radical left of the New York Timeswhich , published a slanderous article about me saying that perhaps I am losing my energy, despite facts that prove exactly the opposite. “They know this is wrong, like almost everything they write about me,” Trump wrote on his Truth Social network.
The article of Timestitled “Shorter Days, Signs of Fatigue: Trump Faces the Realities of Aging in Office,” tells how the veteran tycoon’s schedule has been getting shorter and mentions occasions when he apparently fell asleep in the Oval Office, a marked difference from his first term (between 2017 and 2021).
However, Trump angrily rejected the notion raised by the newspaper that he is finding it increasingly difficult to maintain the image of agility and energy as one of his strongest political tools, and instead attacked the New York Times. “This cheap ‘PASQUIN’ is truly an ‘ENEMY OF THE PEOPLE,'” he added.
“There will be a day when I lack energy, it happens to everyone, but with A PERFECT PHYSICAL EXAM AND A COMPLETE COGNITIVE TEST (“which I passed with excellence”) COMPLETED RECENTLY, it is certainly not now!” insisted Trump, who has recently redoubled his attacks against the press. In capital letters, too, as you like.
The president went further and directly criticized the author of the analysis, calling her a “trash reporter, ugly inside and out” and defended his current management in the White House, during which he claimed he maintains “the highest poll numbers” of his life. Verbal violence against a professional in the week in which attacks on women are fought.
Justified questioning
Trump, who will turn 80 next June, became the oldest presidential candidate to win an election in 2024.
Last July, the White House reported that Trump had a common condition in the elderly, although they specified then that he enjoyed “excellent health.”
The Republican often mocks the former president, whom he calls “the glutton,” accusing him of using an automatic pen to sign important documents and of not making decisions during his term, something the Democrat denies.
