In a recent Truth Social post, Trump targeted The Atlantic and its journalists, Ashley Parker and Michael Scherer, labeling the publication as 'third-rate.' He made unverified claims about The Atlantic's financial woes, which contradict reports stating the magazine is profitable and expanding its staff. Trump's comments include a peculiar assertion about winning the presidency three times, reflecting persistent misinformation regarding the 2020 election. This episode underlines the ongoing tensions between Trump and media, even as he returns to power, suggesting a cyclical nature of criticisms directed at journalism.
"...Trump called The Atlantic 'a third-rate magazine' and then lobbed a bunch of unverified criticisms and petty, middle-school comments at Parker and Scherer."
"The Atlantic is actually profitable and is on a bit of a hiring tear ... the publication keeps staffing up and landing Trump-related scoops."
