Trump Attacks New York Times' Maggie Haberman Over Cameras In Hospitals
- 5 years ago
President Trump attacked the New York Times Saturday.
President Trump on Saturday went after one of his favorite Twitter targets: the New York Times.
"Maggie Haberman of the Failing @nytimes reported that I was annoyed by the lack of cameras inside the hospitals in Dayton & El Paso, when in fact I was the one who stated, very strongly, that I didn't want the Fake News inside & told my people NOT to let them in," Trump tweeted. "Fake reporting!"
The tweet comes in the wake of widespread negative coverage of Trump's visits to El Paso and Dayton.
A Times piece noted: "Trump visited Dayton, Ohio, and El Paso on Wednesday on a day intended as a show of compassion to cities scarred by a weekend of violence, but which quickly devolved into an occasion for anger-fueled broadsides against Democrats and the news media."
In another tweet on Saturday, Trump called the media "seriously dishonest."
"Never has the press been more inaccurate, unfair or corrupt!" Trump wrote. "We are not fighting the Democrats, they are easy, we are fighting the seriously dishonest and unhinged Lamestream Media. They have gone totally CRAZY. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!"
