Trump Freaks Out Over New York Times Story Calling Him ‘Erratic’ And ‘Beyond Coaching’

Last updated on July 17th, 2023 at 09:02 pm

Donald Trump took to Twitter to throw a tantrum on Saturday after The New York Times published a story about his ‘failing’ presidential campaign.

The story, titled “Inside the Failing Mission to Save Donald Trump From Himself,” documents how a group of Trump confidants met with the Republican nominee on June 20 and urged him to “make that day a turning point” in his campaign.

“He would have to stick to a teleprompter and end his freestyle digressions and insults, like his repeated attacks on a Hispanic federal judge,” the Times reported was the plan following the June meeting.

After that clearly failed, the newspaper reports that many in Trump’s inner circle have given up and now describe the spray-tanned nominee as “beyond coaching.”

Via The New York Times:

Nearly two months later, the effort to save Mr. Trump from himself has plainly failed. He has repeatedly signaled to his advisers and allies his willingness to change and adapt, but has grown only more volatile and prone to provocation since then, clashing with a Gold Star family, making comments that have been seen as inciting violence and linking his political opponents to terrorism.

 Advisers who once hoped a Pygmalion-like transformation would refashion a crudely effective political showman into a plausible American president now increasingly concede that Mr. Trump may be beyond coaching. He has ignored their pleas and counsel as his poll numbers have dropped, boasting to friends about the size of his crowds and maintaining that he can read surveys better than the professionals.

In private, Mr. Trump’s mood is often sullen and erratic, his associates say. He veers from barking at members of his staff to grumbling about how he was better off following his own instincts during the primaries and suggesting he should not have heeded their calls for change.

Of course, it doesn’t take a political scholar to notice just how poorly Donald Trump’s campaign is being managed. The Times was simply shining a light on what most of us had already inferred was going on behind the scenes.

Still, Trump jumped on Twitter to whine about it:


Trump’s need to whine about every criticism only shows that the Times’ reporting is true – that Trump is erratic, temperamental, and unwilling to change his behaviors.

Although the reporting was eye-opening, most voters don’t need a story in The New York Times to tell them what they already know to be true about the Republican nominee.
