President Donald Trump’s eldest son melted down Monday at The New York Times after finding the paper of record wrote that former President Joe Biden allowed many migrants into the United States temporarily to encourage them to avoid crossing the border unlawfully.
Donald Trump Jr. took to X to complain about what appeared to be two sentences written by the Times. Raw Story found the sentences inside an April 10 article on the Trump administration’s move to classify thousands of migrants as dead in an effort to get them to self-deport.
“Mr. Biden allowed many migrants to enter the country temporarily as a way to incentivize them to avoid crossing the border illegally. Those people became eligible to work in the United States, receive Social Security numbers and in some cases receive federal benefits,” the Times wrote at the time.
The report added that over 500,000 migrants from Cuba, Nicaragua, Venezuela and Haiti came under one parole program that allowed them to fly into the country. Another 900,000 migrants entered the country using an app.
In his lash out on Monday, Trump Jr. appeared to take issue with the two sentences in the months-old article.
“You can’t hate the media enough! This was actually printed in the New York Times. WTF,” the executive vice president of the Trump Organization bemoaned on X.
A chorus of MAGA jeers echoed Trump Jr.’s complaint.
Ted Silverman replied, “The precipitous fall from grace the NYT has experienced in the last few years is simply astounding. What was once held up as the gold standard in journalism is barely recognizable. It is so critical we hold our journalists and media outlets to the highest standards in their search for the truth. May we all work harder at arriving at our own.”
Army veteran Rick Nixon replied as part of a lengthy response, “Immigration needs rules, yes. It also needs honesty. Policies built on incentives and policies built on fear both fail for the same reason neither admits the border is a management problem, not a meme war. That’s the part nobody wants to say out loud: Until we replace slogans with strategy, the only people who pay the price are the ones with the least power. And now you know… the rest of the story.”
