Furious Trump Seizes Chance to Join Washington Post Pile On
Donald Trump apparently made time on Father’s Day to mount an all-out attack on The Washington Post, furiously claiming the newspaper has “fools and stupid people” while namechecking a columnist who recently questioned his mental fitness.
After firing off one bonkers Truth Social message to “RADICAL LEFT DEGENERATES” earlier on Sunday, the former president then turned his ire on the Post, baselessly accusing it of “absolutely blowing up with Fake Stories!” “They ought to clean up their act,” he continued, “Start writing the TRUTH, and maybe they’d get some of their Readers back, considering that they’ve lost over 50% in just a short period of time.”
The Post says its audience has halved since 2020 and its new CEO and Publisher Will Lewis revealed last month that the company lost $77 million over the last year. Lewis himself has come under fire recently amid claims that he tried to kill stories about his alleged involvement in covering up a hacking scandal at Rupert Murdoch’s British tabloids (Lewis denies all wrongdoing).
