The confrontation between US President Donald Trump and The New York Times reached new heights of vitriol when Trump, reacting to a report questioning his stamina and energy, called its White House correspondent 'ugly, both inside and out.'
Just days after reportedly calling another female journalist 'piggy', Trump launched a tirade on his social media platform Truth Social, targeting the reporter's appearance rather than furnishing a rebuttal grounded in facts. The label-calling underscores a growing pattern of personal attacks against female media members even as questions mount about the President's health.
