  • President Donald Trump lambasted Politico on Thursday, a day after it was revealed the news outlet had received more than $8 million.

In response to a Politico report about the U.S. government's $1.7 million expenditure on newspaper and magazine subscriptions, former President Donald Trump criticized the spending on Truth Social, his social media platform. Trump questioned the necessity of these subscriptions, suggesting that the funds could be better used elsewhere, such as supporting the military or border security. He also took the opportunity to attack the media, labeling it as "CORRUPT & FAKE," and accused them of unfairly targeting him while ignoring similar or worse actions by others, particularly Democrats. Trump's comments reflect his ongoing criticism of government spending and his disdain for what he perceives as biased media coverage.
