President Donald Trump threw a tantrum on Truth Social on Saturday about a New York Times column that was critical of his strategy in the war in Iran.
The New York Times’s White House and National Security Correspondent, David Sanger, reported that Trump is “eyeing an exit” from the war in Iran, but added that the president appears not to have “decided whether to take it.” Sanger’s report apparently didn’t sit well with Trump, who raged at Sanger personally in a new Truth Social post.
“The United States has blown Iran off of the map, and yet their lightweight analyst, David Sanger, says that I haven’t met my own goals,” Trump wrote. “Yes I have, and weeks ahead of schedule!”
“Their leadership is gone, their navy and air force are dead, they have absolutely no defense, and they want to make a deal,” he added. “I don’t! We are weeks ahead of schedule. Just like their incompetent Election coverage of me, The Failing New York Times always gets it wrong!”
Trump’s post was made at a time when his administration is facing considerable backlash for coordinating bombing strikes in Iran with Israel. The war appears to have sundered Trump’s MAGA coalition, and public polling suggests the war is deeply unpopular with voters.
