The New York Times on Wednesday defended one of its female reporters, Katie Rogers, who became Donald Trump’s latest target after co-authoring a piece exploring the president’s health and aging.
The article written by Rogers and Dylan Freedman, titled “Shorter Days, Signs of Fatigue: Trump Faces Realities of Aging in Office,” cited an analysis showing that the president has decreased his public appearances by 39% and has held a shorter schedule than he used to by this point in his first presidency. The report also noted that Trump has been spotted dozing off during meetings.
Trump blasted the Times on social media over the article which he described as a “hit piece.” “This cheap ‘RAG’ is truly an ‘ENEMY OF THE PEOPLE,’” he wrote on his Truth Social platform. “The writer of the story, Katie Rogers, who is assigned to write only bad things about me, is a third rate reporter who is ugly, both inside and out.”
A Times spokesperson hit back at Trump’s words, declaring that the article is “accurate and built on first hand reporting of the facts,” and pushed back against Trump’s attack on Rogers. “Name-calling and personal insults don’t change that, nor will our journalists hesitate to cover this administration in the face of intimidation tactics like this,” the spokesperson said in a statement on X.
