President Trump on Sunday took another aim at the New York Times.
President Trump on Sunday lashed out at the New York Times in the wake of a critical story.
"The Failing @nytimes, in a story by Peter Baker, should have mentioned the rapid terminations by me of TPP & The Paris Accord & the fast approvals of The Keystone XL & Dakota Access pipelines. Also, look at the recent EPA cancelations & our great new Supreme Court Justice!" Trump wrote in a series of tweets.
The president is likely referring to the piece published by the New York Times on Saturday, which is titled, "Promise the Moon? Easy for Trump. But Now Comes the Reckoning."
Baker asserts that so far Trump has taken only "partial actions" on his central campaign promises.
Citing the Iran nuclear deal and Obamacare as examples, Baker says, "as much as he has set his sights on them, Mr. Trump after nearly nine months in office has not actually gotten rid of either."
"Instead, in the past few days, he took partial steps to undercut both initiatives and then left it to Congress to figure out what to do next," Baker continues.
The president, not surprisingly, has a much different view of his accomplishments.
"In the last 10 months, we have followed through on one promise after another," Trump said during a speech on Friday. "I didn't have a schedule, but if I did have a schedule, I would say we are substantially ahead of schedule."
