Well, here we go again — the media elite are clutching their pearls because President Donald J. Trump had the audacity to call out The New York Times again for doing what it does best: pushing leftist narratives, printing unverifiable “reporting,” and acting like the Ministry of Truth for the coastal cocktail circuit. This week’s offense? Trump had the nerve to suggest that maybe a publication that allegedly traffics in political hit jobs and manufactured stories for clicks might — just might — be a national security threat.
Cue the outrage machine. But let’s take a step back and look at what’s actually happening here.
Trump lit up Truth Social, calling the Times a “serious threat to the National Security of our Nation.” Strong words? Sure. Unwarranted? That depends on whether you’ve been paying attention for the last eight years or still think the Russia collusion hoax was real. Trump accused the paper of pumping out fake articles and spreading “purposeful misrepresentations” with the kind of frequency that would make even the most jaded propagandist blush. His post ended with a blunt exclamation: “THEY ARE A TRUE ENEMY OF THE PEOPLE!”
🚨 WOW! President Trump says the New York Times is a “a serious threat to the NATIONAL SECURITY of our nation”

Now, to anyone who’s been watching the corporate media playbook since about 2015, this is not exactly breaking news. The New York Times has allegedly been misreporting, re-spinning, and cherry-picking “facts” to fit whatever anti-Trump storyline they’re serving up that week. Whether it’s unverified dossiers, breathless anonymous sources whispering about “chaos” in the West Wing, or — the latest greatest — a piece claiming Trump is “slowing down,” the hits just keep on coming. Because nothing screams journalistic integrity quite like diagnosing someone’s energy levels through a pair of binoculars and a grudge.
That particular “hit piece” — as Trump rightly called it — ran last month, and according to the Times, he’s apparently “losing energy.” Yes, the same guy crisscrossing the country holding rallies that draw tens of thousands, making surprise visits to truck stops, and somehow still finding time to roast his opponents on Truth Social in the wee hours of the morning. Losing energy? Only if you’re comparing him to a windmill on a windless day — which, by the way, the Left swears will power your future.
But here’s where it gets spicy. Trump’s not just tweeting and Truthing about it — he’s taking them to court. In October, he filed a $15 billion defamation lawsuit against the Times and Penguin Random House, accusing them of publishing false claims about his business record. He alleges they damaged his reputation — a reputation, mind you, built long before he ever walked into the Oval Office, back when he was building skyscrapers, dominating the tabloids, and hosting The Apprentice, which was only the most successful reality TV show of all time. That’s not bravado — it’s just fact.
And yet, we’re supposed to believe this guy is “slowing down”?
Now, of course, the usual suspects in the legal system have already done their part to shield their media buddies. A similar suit filed in September — one targeting defamatory reporting that Trump claimed interfered with the 2024 election — was tossed by Judge Steven Merryday. His reasoning? The case was “improper.” Of course it was. When you file suit against the institutional media, suddenly everyone’s a stickler for judicial procedure.
But here’s the larger question the Left doesn’t want you to ask: what is the cost of constant media misinformation? When a major outlet allegedly warps the public’s perception, not just of a candidate, but of the presidency itself, what’s the real damage? And how far is too far?
Because when a paper that’s supposed to be informing the public turns into a political bludgeon for one party, it’s not just unethical — it’s destabilizing. A nation where its citizens no longer trust what they read is a nation on edge. And if you’re actively fueling division, fear, and falsehoods… well, let’s just say there are worse things than being called “the enemy of the people.”

President Trump is still swinging, still standing, and still calling out the institutions that have spent nearly a decade trying to bring him down. Meanwhile, the media class is still pretending to be shocked — shocked! — that he’s not just sitting there and taking it.
So buckle up, because if the press thinks they’re going to get away with the same old games under Trump 2.0, they may be in for a rude awakening.
