President Donald Trump has long had a soft spot for The New York Post, a hometown paper he can usually count on for support. Before entering politics, he was said to call in anonymous tips about himself to Page Six. In the White House, he reportedly scans the conservative tabloid each morning, frequently amplifies its headlines on Truth Social and even has one of its front pages framed in gold just outside the Oval Office.
That affinity makes the paper's latest editorial all the more stinging.
