Trump Demands Apology from New York Times Over Critical Coverage

President-elect Trump lashes out at the Times and journalist Maggie Haberman, citing years of alleged unfair reporting and vowing to address media accountability in his upcoming term.

Donald Trump criticized The New York Times on Truth Social, accusing the outlet of publishing false and demeaning stories about him over the years.
Central to Trump's complaints was a recent Times article about his close aide Natalie Harp, which described her as a loyal enabler with significant influence over him.
Trump specifically targeted journalist Maggie Haberman, calling her a 'third rate writer' and demanding an apology for her reporting on him.
The Times' article highlighted concerns within Trump’s team about Harp’s role and her devotion, including writing personal letters to Trump and acting as his 'human printer.'
Observers fear Trump's rhetoric signals a broader effort to pressure and potentially retaliate against media organizations during his second term.
