Overview
- After a Tuesday night speech in Monroe County, Pennsylvania, the president posted on Truth Social accusing The New York Times of “seditious” and possibly “treasonous” reporting on his health and labeled the paper “Enemies of the People.”
- He said he has taken multiple medical evaluations, including an MRI, and declared he “aced” three cognitive examinations conducted before doctors and experts.
- Trump argued the coverage falsely portrays him as slowing down and insisted he works harder than ever, adding that the Times should cease publication because it is a biased and untruthful source of information.
- Recent reporting that intensified the scrutiny includes a Times piece on shorter public days and signs of fatigue, along with media notes that he has appeared to doze during events, once showed facial drooping, and has often worn a bandage on his right hand.
- Mediaite also recapped official health details such as an April physical listing him at 6'3" and 224 pounds, while Raw Story highlighted online analysts who derided his threats toward the newspaper.
