Trump rips ‘totally inept’ New York Times after Pence 2020 report

President Trump lashed out at the New York Times early Monday and called its coverage of his campaign and administration “totally inept.”

“The failing @nytimes, which has made every wrong prediction about me including my big election win (apologized), is totally inept!” Trump tweeted.

A Times article from the weekend stated Vice President Mike Pence and other Republicans are planning a 2020 run if Trump does not seek a second term.

Pence denied the report as “disgraceful” and called them an “attempt by the media to divide this administration.”

“Hard to believe that with 24/7 #Fake News on CNN, ABC, NBC, CBS, NYTIMES & WAPO, the Trump base is getting stronger!” Trump wrote in another media-related tweet.

Trump also listed out a series of accomplishments and said they are bringing his supporters even closer together.

“The Trump base is far bigger & stronger than ever before (despite some phony Fake News polling),” he wrote.

“Look at the rallies in Penn, Iowa, Ohio and West Virginia,” he said over a few tweets. “The fact is the Fake News Russian collusion story, record Stock Market, border security, military strength, jobs, Supreme Court pick, economic enthusiasm, deregulation & so much more have driven the Trump base even closer together. Will never change!”
