Trump Escalates Feud with New York Times, Targeting Journalists in Personal Attacks

The New York Times denounces Trump's remarks as 'intimidation tactics' following his criticism of reporters and accusations of election interference.

President Donald Trump criticized The New York Times and its journalists, Peter Baker, Maggie Haberman, and Susan Glasser, using derogatory nicknames and accusing them of bias and producing 'fake news.'
Trump accused the Times of attempting to 'rig the election' against him and labeled its editors as 'Trump deranged.'
The New York Times responded by rejecting Trump's accusations and calling his actions 'intimidation tactics,' reaffirming their commitment to independent journalism.
The dispute follows recent Times reporting on Elon Musk's potential conflicts of interest as a Trump policy ally, which has drawn criticism from both Trump and Musk.
This escalation is part of a broader pattern of Trump's contentious relationship with the media during his second term, including lawsuits and bans on specific outlets.
