Trump, 79, rages at report about his age and energy, calls reporter ‘ugly’
The US president insists he is working harder than ever and boasted of a recent ‘PERFECT PHYSICAL EXAM’
US President Donald Trump raged on Wednesday at a New York Times report that focused on his age and growing signs of fatigue, insisting that he is full of energy and calling the woman author of the article “ugly”.
“I have never worked so hard in my life. Yet despite all of this, the Radical Left Lunatics in the soon to fold Times did a hit piece on me that I am perhaps losing my Energy, despite facts that show the exact opposite,” the 79-year-old Republican posted on social media.
Trump is the oldest person ever to have assumed the US presidency and the job has clearly weighed on him since starting a second term in January.
But in the lengthy post, sprinkled with words in all-caps and a misspelling, Trump said the article published on Tuesday was ignoring his output.
He listed what he said were his many accomplishments, ranging from the election victory last year to a strong US stock market and the settling of wars abroad.
He also boasted that he recently underwent a “PERFECT PHYSICAL EXAM AND A COMPREHENSIVE COGNITIVE TEST (‘That was aced’) JUST RECENTLY TAKEN”.
