In a recent Truth Social post, Donald Trump labeled The New York Times a national security threat, citing their reporting as “lies and purposeful misrepresentations.” This accusation follows Trump’s long-standing criticism of the newspaper, stemming from articles detailing his reduced public appearances and his friendship with Jeffrey Epstein. Trump also expressed frustration over the Times’ coverage of his prescription drug price plan, which he falsely claimed had lowered drug costs by thousands of percent. This latest attack demonstrates a continuation of Trump’s animosity towards the publication, calling it a “fake newspaper.”

Trump, 79, Declares Absurd National Security Threat in Late-Night Meltdown
The late-night declarations, the unhinged Truth Social posts – it’s becoming a pattern. And this time, at 79, the focus of the meltdown is the familiar boogeyman: national security. This time, the “threat” is the *New York Times*. The sheer absurdity of it all is almost comical, if the implications weren’t so serious. Declaring a major news outlet a threat to national security is straight out of the authoritarian playbook, a blatant attempt to silence dissent and control the narrative. This is not the behavior of someone concerned about the country’s well-being; it’s the desperate act of someone trying to protect their own interests, their own carefully constructed reality.
It’s difficult to miss the connection between these outbursts and the release of the Epstein files. The timing is too convenient. The files, even in their redacted state, are clearly causing a panic, and the reaction is predictable: project, deflect, attack. It’s a classic case of seeing one’s own flaws reflected in others. The repeated accusations of “enemies of the people” are chilling, a deliberate attempt to demonize anyone who dares to question or criticize. And when you look at the characteristics of fascism, the parallels are undeniable. The obsession with national security, the disdain for human rights, the control of mass media – it’s all there, laid bare for anyone who cares to look. It is truly difficult to listen to his “word vomit” and pretend it is coherent.
The irony is thick enough to cut with a knife. The real national security threat is not the *New York Times*, it is the very person making these pronouncements. It’s the man who has spent years undermining democratic institutions, sowing division, and eroding public trust. It’s the man whose actions, even now, raise serious questions about his fitness for office. The financial dealings, the alleged crimes, the constant stream of lies – all of it constitutes a clear and present danger to the country. It is this man, and those who enable him, who threaten the stability and well-being of the nation. It’s the dictator mindset that never hides, conflating his ego with the nation.
The situation is, frankly, alarming. The fact that this behavior is becoming normalized is even more disturbing. It’s as if a section of the population has become desensitized to the constant barrage of outrage, the endless stream of accusations and attacks. But this is not normal. This is not acceptable. The mental and physical strain that is now apparent for public consumption is a major concern. The “sundowning” effect is a possible reason for the escalation of this type of behavior.
The core issue here is not just about one man’s erratic behavior; it’s about the principles at stake. It is about the rule of law, the freedom of the press, and the integrity of democratic institutions. It’s about protecting the nation from those who would seek to exploit its vulnerabilities for their own personal gain. It’s time for the people of this country to wake up and acknowledge the real threat that this person is. It is time for accountability, for consequences, and for a return to the values that once defined this nation.
