Trump criticizes New York Times and CNN coverage of Iran conflict
Trump said the coverage suggests the outlets are helping Iran as Congress weighs limits on his war powers.
- President Trump blasted The New York Times and CNN from the Oval Office on Thursday, calling CNN 'stupid' and labeling The Times' coverage 'actually seditious' amid the Iran conflict.
- Trump's remarks followed a critique from The Times editorial board suggesting the American military is 'losing its edge' in Iran, where 'Tactical success has not yielded victory,' published one day prior.
- While signing an executive order on retirement savings, Trump told reporters the American military had 'militarily decapitated' Iran, dismissing reports of military progress as 'so ridiculous.'
- Sixty days have passed since Trump notified Congress of the conflict on March 2, triggering the War Powers Act requirement for congressional approval to continue military operations beyond today.
- These attacks on mainstream outlets pose a reputational threat to press credibility and may deepen partisan divides amid ongoing debates over the War Powers Act and presidential war powers oversight.
