President Donald Trump raged at The New York Times on Wednesday, calling the paper a “creep” over a report claiming he was showing signs of fatigue while aging in office.
Trump objects to report co-authored by White House correspondent Katie Rogers cuffedThe article, titled “Shorter Days, Signs of Fatigue: Trump Confronts the Realities of Aging in Office,” shows the 79-year-old man is slowing down.
The Times reported that it analyzed Trump’s schedule and found fewer “public events” than during his first term, suggesting he usually appears between noon and 5 p.m. The report also noted that Trump appeared to fall asleep during a recent Oval Office event.
Trump frequently mocks the durability of his predecessor, Joe Biden, and Biden’s mental and cognitive decline in office ultimately led to his withdrawal from the race for the White House in 2024. Trump broke Biden’s record as the oldest ever elected president with his victory in 2024, at the age of 78; Biden was 77 when he won the 2020 race.

Trump tore up the paper on the “hit piece,” touting his victory in 2024 and saying he ended “8 wars” while bringing the country back to global respect.
“The Failed New York Times Reptiles are at it again,” he wrote. “I won the 2024 Presidential Election by a landslide, winning all Seven Swing States, the Popular Vote, and the Electoral College by a landslide. [sic] Regions of our country will be completely deleted from 2750 to 550. I have finished 8 Wars, there are 48 New Stock Market Tops, our Economy is Great and our Country is AGAIN RESPECTED around the world, more than ever before… It takes a lot of Work and Energy to do this and I have never worked harder in my life. But despite all this, the Radical Left Crazies who will soon shut down the New York Times made a very accurate comment to me that maybe I was losing my Energy, even though the facts show the exact opposite,” Trump wrote on Truth Social.
He also said that Rogers was “ugly both inside and out.”

Trump admitted: “There will be a day when I am low on energy, this can happen to anyone, but DONE IN A QUICK TIME WITH A PERFECT PHYSICAL EXAMINATION AND A COMPREHENSIVE COGNITIVE TEST (“This was successful”), certainly not now!”
The Times defended the report and said Trump’s “name-calling” changed nothing.
A spokesperson for the Times said, “The Times’ reporting is based on accurate, first-hand reporting of facts. Name-calling and personal insults won’t change that, and our journalists will not hesitate to cover this administration in the face of such scare tactics. Expert and rigorous reporters like Katie Rogers exemplify how an independent, free press helps the American people better understand their government and leaders.” wrote.
