Trump's lengthy Truth Social post, in which he called media scrutiny of his health 'seditious', and hinted it might even be 'treasonous' to discuss it, has produced a flood of social-media commentary and political condemnation, with opponents and some commentators saying his tone and threats make him 'unsuitable' to hold the presidency.
The post, published late, lashes out at The New York Times and other outlets for reporting on signs of fatigue and cognitive lapses, and accuses critics of behaviour he describes as dangerously criminal; critics responding across social platforms and on broadcast news have used the episode to argue the president's temperament and rhetoric disqualify him from the office.
