President Donald Trump took purpose at The New York Times and NCS on Thursday for what he known as “seditious” coverage of the Iran war.
“I’m negotiating a deal with Iran. And every week, every three days, they put in a thing that the war should stop. And the people ask me, how the hell do you negotiate like that? You’re destroying them,” Trump mentioned to reporters within the Oval Office. “Think of it — we militarily decapitated the country, and every day I read about how well they’re doing militarily. They have nothing left. They’re done.”
“And yet, I read in The New York Times, I see on stupid NCS, which I only watch because you have to watch a little bit of the enemy, so I watch it for a very short period. You have to — you have to be smart,” he continued. “And if you see NCS, you’d think they’re winning the war. If you read The New York Times, it’s actually seditious, in my opinion. You read The New York Times, you actually think they’re winning the war… it’s a terrible thing.”

Trump joked that the Iranian regime is “sitting in a cave” and the way “everyone’s dead around them” and studying that they are “winning the war.”
“It’s so sad,” he lamented.

Trump later took one other swipe at NCS’s report alleging the U.S. strikes on Iranian nuclear services final June weren’t as effective as his administration claimed.
“Before they landed, NCS came out with a report that maybe the damage wasn’t that great. The damage was far greater than we said. It was obliteration,” Trump informed reporters.
“And the reason I took such — I was angry about it because it was disrespectful to those pilots and those incredible people, including the people that maintained the planes,” he added.
The New York Times didn’t instantly reply to Fox News Digital’s requests for remark. A spokesperson for NCS declined to remark.
