Donald Trump Is Mad at The New York Times For Doing Factually Accurate Reporting
It’s a new day, meaning Donald Trump, the presumptive (or presumptuous, depending on your camp) Republican nominee for president, has a new ax to grind.
After The New York Times published a spectacular deep dive on Satuday about his long history of sexism and misogyny in his dealings with women, Trump took to Twitter to express his outrage Sunday.
Everyone is laughing at the @nytimes for the lame hit piece they did on me and women.I gave them many names of women I helped-refused to use

Why doesn't the failing @nytimes write the real story on the Clintons and women? The media is TOTALLY dishonest!

As The Hill points out, one of the reporters on the piece noted that the accounts in it aren’t even inaccurate—something which Trump actually doesn’t say himself.
A factually inaccurate tweet: we did interview and quote women his office suggested in the story: https://t.co/Jfu05iK5Et

It seems that what Trump is really mad at, at this point, is that they got it right.
