WASHINGTON: US President Donald Trump raged on Wednesday at a New York Times report that focused on his age and growing signs of fatigue, insisting that he is full of energy and calling the woman author of the article “ugly.”

“I have never worked so hard in my life. Yet despite all of this, the Radical Left Lunatics in the soon-to-fold New York Times did a hit piece on me that I am perhaps losing my Energy, despite facts that show the exact opposite,” the 79-year-old Republican posted on his Truth Social platform.

Trump is the oldest person ever to have assumed the US presidency, and the job has clearly weighed on him since starting a second term in January.

But in the lengthy post, sprinkled with all-caps and a misspelling, Trump said the Times article published on Tuesday ignored his output.
