Trump rips NY Times over ‘seditious’ reporting about his health
Trump claimed he 'aced' three cognitive tests and called The New York Times' health coverage 'treasonous,' challenging reports of his fatigue and diminished public schedule.
- On December 9, President Donald J. Trump posted a lengthy Truth Social defense after a Pennsylvania rally, accusing The New York Times of 'seditious, perhaps even treasonous' reports and claiming he 'ACED' three cognitive tests with Walter Reed doctors giving him 'PERFECT Marks.'

- Nicole Taylor, spokesperson for The New York Times, said journalists are doing their job with heavily sourced reporting and noted President Donald J. Trump faces a $15 billion defamation lawsuit filed in September.

- This feud echoes a long history in which President Donald J. Trump has called The New York Times 'seditious,' notably in 2018, amid ongoing battles over presidential health coverage and broader media conflicts involving Trump.
