During former President Joe Biden's four years in the White House, Donald Trump repeatedly attacked "Sleepy Joe" as being in both physical and mental decline. But now that the 79-year-old President Trump is back in the White House, he becomes furious when similar things are said about him.

Trump is especially angry over a New York Times article that was published on November 25 and found reporters Katie Rogers and Dylan Freedman questioning the president's physical and mental health.

During a conversation for The New Republic's "The Daily Blast" podcast posted on December 1, host Greg Sargent (a former Washington Post columnist) and his guest, attorney/Substack columnist David Lurie, discussed Trump's rage over the Times' reporting and the reasons why it infuriated him so much.
