Trump Criticizes US Media and Democrats Over Iran Conflict CoveragePreviousNext

US President Donald Trump criticized major American media outlets and Democrats in a Truth Social post, accusing them of biased coverage regarding the West Asia conflict with Iran. He claimed that even if Iran fully surrendered, media such as The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, and CNN would portray it as a victory for Iran. Trump used derogatory nicknames for these outlets and referred to Democrats as "Dumacrats," asserting that both media and political opponents have "gone absolutely crazy." His remarks continue his longstanding criticism of mainstream media's reporting on foreign policy.
