Donald Trump Asks the New York Times to Apologize for Years of Writing ‘Phony Junk’ About Him

“They do no fact checking, because facts don’t matter to them. I don’t believe I’ve had a legitimately good story in the NYT for years,” the president-elect says

Donald Trump is asking The New York Times to apologize to its readers for spending years writing so-called “junk” about him.

“Will the failing New York Times apologize to its readers for getting years of ‘Trump’ coverage so wrong. They write such phony ‘junk,’ knowing full well how incorrect it is, only meaning to demean,” the president-elect wrote in a Truth Social post late Monday.

He then attacked NYT reporter Maggie Haberman, taking shots at her skills as a journalist as well as her overall intelligence.

“Magot [sic] Hagerman, a third rate writer and fourth rate intellect, writes story after story, always terrible, and yet I almost never speak to her,” Trump went on.
