Trump Blasts NYT Reporter as ‘Treasonous’ for Misrepresenting U.S. Victory Over Iran
- On Friday, President Donald Trump accused New York Times reporter David Sanger of treason aboard Air Force One, saying 'I actually think it's sort of treasonous what you write' during questioning about the Iran war.
- Returning to Washington after a three-day Beijing summit, Trump faced questions about Iran, where the U.S.-Israel war launched in late February continues under a fragile ceasefire after 38 days without achieving political change.
- Trump insisted 'I had a total military victory' and claimed Iran's navy, air force, radar and leadership were completely dismantled, while blaming 'fake news' outlets for misreporting the campaign's success.
- Journalist Radley Balko stated 'a president accusing a journalist of treason-- a capital crime-- for reporting on an ongoing war is not normal,' while Pennsylvania Capital-Star editor Tim Lambert agreed the incident violates democratic norms.
- Earlier this week, Trump dismissed economic concerns about the war, telling reporters 'I don't think about Americans financial situation,' reflecting his singular focus on preventing Iranian nuclear capability despite the New York Times reporting 13 million subscribers and 12 percent revenue growth.
