Trump pushes back on NYT article on how he's slowed down in 2nd term
President Donald Trump is lashing out at the New York Times for its story analyzing how Trump hosts fewer events now than he did in his first term, takes fewer domestic trips and starts most of his events later in the day.
The Times explicitly called out Trump's Nov. 6 Oval Office event for the administration's announcement with Novo Nordisk and Eli Lilly about lowering the cost of GLP-1 drugs. During the event, it appeared Trump was fighting to stay awake and dozed off for a bit during the event. The Times also mentioned recent bruising on his hand and swollen ankles.
Trump pushed back on the article in a lengthy social media post, saying all he does as president "requires a lot of Work and Energy."
"I have never worked so hard in my life," Trump added.

Trump insulted one of the reporters on the byline, calling her a "third rate reporter who is ugly, both inside and out."
But Trump did acknowledge in his post that there will be a day when he runs low on energy, adding that it happens to everyone, but it's not happening today.
"There will be a day when I run low on Energy, it happens to everyone, but with a PERFECT PHYSICAL EXAM AND A COMPREHENSIVE COGNITIVE TEST ('That was aced') JUST RECENTLY TAKEN, it certainly is not now!," Trump wrote.
