President Trump slammed The New York Times once again Monday, saying the newspaper "writes total fiction" by "making up stories and sources."
The failing @nytimes writes total fiction concerning me. They have gotten it wrong for two years, and now are making up stories & sources!

Trump appears to be responding to a Monday story by reporters Maggie Haberman and Glenn Thrush.
"President Trump loves to set the day’s narrative at dawn, but the deeper story of his White House is best told at night," the story begins.
The article depicts Trump, typically alone after 6:30 p.m., watching TV while wearing a bathrobe or marking up negative news articles with a Sharpie.
The Times's story only does not cite any named sources for the description of how the Trump White House operates.
Trump has often attacked the Times as a presidential candidate and since taking office.
Just last week, he tweeted, "Somebody with aptitude and conviction should buy the FAKE NEWS and failing @nytimes and either run it correctly or let it fold with dignity!"
Somebody with aptitude and conviction should buy the FAKE NEWS and failing @nytimes and either run it correctly or let it fold with dignity!
