Trump Calls 'Lowlife' Media 'Sick And Demented' Over Iran War Coverage

President Donald Trump lambasted news outlets over a report on Iranian missiles hitting U.S. tanker planes.

President Donald Trump tore into the media over coverage of Air Force refueling planes reportedly hit by an Iranian missile strike at a Saudi Arabian air base.

“The New York Times and The Wall Street Journal (in particular), and other Lowlife ‘Papers’ and Media actually want us to lose the War,” Trump wrote Saturday morning on Truth Social. “Their terrible reporting is the exact opposite of the actual facts!”

The president’s post took aim at what he called an “intentionally misleading headline by the Fake News Media” about the aircraft.

“In actuality, the Base was hit a few days ago, but the planes were not ‘struck’ or “‘destroyed,’” he wrote.

The Wall Street Journal had reported Friday that five tanker planes had been “struck and damaged” by Iran at Prince Sultan Air Base in Saudi Arabia, citing U.S. officials. Notably, the Journal did not state that the planes were destroyed, but in fact wrote that the planes were “damaged but not fully destroyed” and were “being repaired.”
