Trump slammed over latest ‘disgusting’ attack on another female reporter

Key Points:

• President Donald Trump launched a harsh personal attack on New York Times reporter Maggie Haberman, calling her “unattractive,” a “stalker,” and using the derogatory nickname “Maggot Hagerman” following her report that he planned to skip the 9/11 anniversary event partly because he was not allowed to speak.
• The New York Times defended the accuracy of its reporting, citing multiple sources involved in the planning of the 9/11 commemoration, while Haberman stood by her work and highlighted the timing of Trump’s denial and subsequent attack.
• Trump has a history of targeting Haberman and other female journalists with derogatory remarks, including criticism of her recent book "Regime Change," which details Trump’s presidency and includes previously unreported information.
• Media figures and organizations widely condemned Trump’s comments, describing them as inappropriate and beneath the office of the presidency, while White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt defended Trump’s blunt style as a reason for his electoral support.
• This incident continues a pattern of Trump’s confrontational and often sexist behavior toward female members of the press, raising ongoing concerns about his treatment of journalists.
