Former President Donald Trump flew off the handle against Fox News and the Wall Street Journal on Sunday, taking issue with a WSJ poll that questioned voters about his “age and mentality.”
Trump, who is the clear frontrunner in the 2024 race, turned to Truth Social to vent his frustration. Trump insisted that he remains in excellent health and cited his victory in “the Senior Club Championship at a big golf club, with many very good players” as evidence of his vitality.
At 77 years old, Trump and his potential opponent, President Joe Biden, aged 81, have faced concerns from voters regarding their elderly status and mental fitness. Trump has frequently criticized Biden’s age and cognitive abilities, but he expressed outrage that right-leaning media outlets like Fox News and WSJ would pose similar questions about him.
In his message to his supporters, Trump decried the WSJ poll as “phony and probably rigged,” suggesting that it emerged as a means to mitigate the perception of “mental incompetence” associated with Biden. He emphasized his previous willingness to undergo a mental acuity test, which he claims to have aced.
The former president proceeded to challenge media mogul Rupert Murdoch, President Biden, and the heads of WSJ to undertake “acuity tests.” He declared, “I will name the place and the test, and it will be a tough one. Nobody will come even close to me.” Trump proposed incorporating physical activities into the challenge, citing his recent golf championship win as evidence of his physical and mental prowess.
He also took the opportunity to criticize Fox News and WSJ, referring to them as “damaged goods” following their support for Florida Governor Ron DeSantis and their involvement in a “$780,000,000 ‘settlement.'” Trump concluded his message by labeling them as “MORONS!!!”

Actually, the headline should read: “Trump Suffering from Verbal IBS”. His display of dementia has been ongoing for over a decade and has little to do with his age. As to physical status, his WH doctor lied about the fact that he met the AMA definition of “morbidly obese” and has anyone ever seen him WALK more than 100 yards without quickly being assisted into a golf-cart or an armored Chevy Suburban??
One very good thing i learned from trump is that “when somebody attack you attack back stronger no matter who and how popular he is”. – Like Desantis and Elon Musk when trump got attacked by them he attack back stronger. I remember when trump first attacked desantis and Musk i thought “Y is he making every day new enemy’s”, but when looking back trump use 100% right.
Old people frequently lose their temper over annoying morons. And as he never was a real politician, Trump has no experience at hiding his true feelings, even when it isn’t in his interest.
all the more reason nikki haley should be the next potus.
