President Donald Trump pushed back against questions about his cognitive health from New York Times journalist Maggie Haberman, saying she will face consequences as his multibillion-dollar lawsuit against the newspaper moves forward.
Trump Targets Haberman Over Health Questions On Saturday, Trump attacked Haberman in a lengthy Truth Social post after she questioned his mental clarity during an appearance on MS Now, citing recent verbal mistakes and limited public information about his health.
"Maggot Hagerman has covered me incorrectly for ten years," Trump wrote, accusing the journalist of making a career from inaccurate reporting.
He added, "She has made a living off her bad reporting, and will pay the price when our Multi-Billion-Dollar Lawsuit against The Failing New York Times gets to Court." Trump defended his health record, saying "I just finished a perfect physical at Walter Reed, I do it every six months, and I requested another Cognitive Test, the only President to do so, three times, and I aced them all." He added, "Few people in Washington, D.C., could do so, including Maggot and her flunky associate, Jonathan Swan." Haberman, Swan Respond To Trump’s Criticism Haberman raised questions about Trump’s cognitive health after several public missteps, including his reported mix-up of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy’s name with Russian President Vladimir Putin’s at the NATO summit in Ankara, Turkey.
