Trump offers editorial advice in rant over NYT blunder: ‘Very interesting mistake!’
President Donald Trump weighed in Saturday on a major error published by The New York Times on Friday, offering advice to the newsroom in a spiteful rant on social media.
In its Friday print edition, the Times ran a headline that mistakenly referred to the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, or NATO, as the “North American Treaty Organization.” The outlet admitted the mistake shortly after the error’s publication.
Nevertheless, Trump decided to issue the outlet some advice on Saturday in a post on his social media platform, Truth Social.
“The Failing New York Times, whose lack of credibility, and their constant Fake News attacks on your favorite President, ME, has caused its circulation to absolutely PLUMMET, referred to our severely weakened and extremely unreliable ‘partner,’ NATO, as the North American Treaty Organization,” Trump wrote.
“The correct name is the North Atlantic Treaty Organization - A very interesting mistake! The hiring and educational standards have gone way down at the NYT. Bring back, “ALL THE NEWS THAT’S FIT TO PRINT” and, Make America Great Again!”
