Trump Fires Back at Report Questioning His Energy
So, here's what's going on right now. A New York Times report has raised questions about President Donald Trump’s energy levels and whether age is starting to affect his stamina. The article suggested that he’s been having shorter workdays and showing signs of fatigue—something that cuts right against the strong, high-energy image he’s always tried to project in politics.
Naturally, Trump didn’t let that go unanswered. He jumped onto his Truth Social platform and fired back, insisting the report was completely off-base. In his post, he called the Times “lunatics” and described the story as a “hit piece,” saying it ignored what he claims are facts showing he’s still full of energy. He also pointed to a recent physical exam and what he described as a “comprehensive cognitive test” that he said he aced, using that as proof that he’s nowhere near slowing down. Trump acknowledged that everyone eventually runs low on energy, but he emphasized that, in his words, “it certainly is not now.”

Meanwhile, the New York Times didn’t back down. In a statement shared with USA TODAY, a spokesperson said their reporting was accurate and based on firsthand information. They also made it clear that criticisms or name-calling wouldn’t deter their coverage of the administration.
All this comes at a time when Trump is just months away from turning 80. Earlier this month, The Washington Post analyzed video feeds from an Oval Office press conference and noted that he appeared to struggle to keep his eyes open for about 20 minutes. That moment happened during a serious event where speakers were discussing lowering the cost of weight-loss drugs, and someone in attendance actually collapsed mid-event. The moment was widely picked up online and even parodied on “Saturday Night Live.”
The situation is especially noteworthy because Trump has spent years using President Joe Biden’s age as political ammunition, often calling him “Sleepy Joe.” Biden was 82 when he left office, and Trump is now approaching the same age milestone himself. So naturally, any signs of fatigue—real or perceived—draw heightened attention.
Right now, Trump is pushing back hard, trying to reinforce the image of strength and vitality that has been central to his political brand. The Times is standing by its reporting, and the back-and-forth has only added more energy to the conversation about age, fitness, and the demands of the presidency as another election cycle approaches.
