The New York Times ran yet another thinly veiled hit piece suggesting President Trump is showing “signs of fatigue” and that his public schedule has shrunk compared with his first term — the paper even quantified the drop in appearances to make the smear look scientific. This is the same paper that spent years cheerleading for every Democrat favor and digging for dirt until it found a narrative they liked, then slapped a headline on it and called it objective reporting. Working Americans are sick of the media’s obsession with attacking our leaders instead of reporting facts that matter to their lives.
Rather than address substance, the Times’ story predictably invited personal attacks and hand-wringing from the left, and President Trump pushed back — hard — on Truth Social, calling one of the reporters a “third rate” journalist and “ugly, both inside and out,” after already clashing with another correspondent days earlier. Love him or hate him, Mr. Trump answered the smear the only way he knows how: by refusing to let the elite press write his obituary while they peddle soft-focus takes about his age. The exchange exposed the media’s priorities — cheap shots and character assassination over honest coverage of policy and results.
If you watched Newsmax’s The Right Squad this week, the panel rightly tore into the Times and the broader establishment press for their never-ending campaign against Trump, reminding viewers that the press often ignores real issues like border security, inflation relief, and violent cities in favor of feeding the cable outrage machine. Conservative outlets and everyday Americans see the pattern: the more the President succeeds at delivering on America First policies, the harder the legacy media works to trivialize him. That’s not journalism; it’s partisanship dressed up as concern.
Let’s be blunt: a free press is essential, but so is accountability — and that accountability goes both ways. When the New York Times and its allies weaponize every benign facial expression, pause, or scheduling decision into proof of presidential decline, they reveal their true aim: to delegitimize and destabilize, not to inform. Patriots who love this country should reject that cynical playbook and demand reporting that focuses on outcomes and truth rather than celebrity-style smear campaigns.
Americans who work hard and love our country aren’t fooled by this manufactured outrage; we see a president who is cutting taxes, standing up to foreign predators, and restoring pride in American industry despite what the op-ed pages say. The media can scowl, tweet hot takes, and publish endless health scare pieces, but at the end of the day the voters remember who fixed the supply chains, who backed the troops, and who put America first. It’s time for real journalism to return — or for the rest of us to keep calling out the double standards and defend the leaders who actually deliver for the people.
