'Sick Journalism': Trump Calls New York Times' Mexico Story A 'Fraud'
- 5 years ago
President Trump slammed the New York Times on Monday.
President Trump on Monday morning again slammed the "sick journalism" of the "failing New York Times" over its recent report that many aspects of the tariff-averting deal with Mexico were put in place months ago. "When will the Failing New York Times admit that their front page story on the the new Mexico deal at the Border is a FRAUD and nothing more than a badly reported 'hit job' on me, something that has been going on since the first day I announced for the presidency! Sick Journalism," Trump tweeted. The day prior, he noted via Twitter: "The Failing @nytimes story on Mexico and Illegal Immigration through our Southern Border has now been proven shockingly false and untrue, bad reporting, and the paper is embarrassed by it. The only problem is that they knew it was Fake News before it went out. Corrupt Media!" Notably, the New York Times reported on Saturday, citing sources, that "the deal to avert tariffs that President Trump announced with great fanfare on Friday night consists largely of actions that Mexico had already promised to take in prior discussions with the United States over the past several months."
