Trump shows his DEEP CONCERN for U.S. service member downed in Iran by doing "OLD MAN YELLS AT CLOUD" (NYT).

Trump Ignores Frantic Search for Pilot to Rage at Newspaper
PRIORITIES
The 79-year-old president has yet to address the public on a U.S. service member being hunted in Iran.

President Donald Trump took to Truth Social early Saturday not to address the public on the fate of a U.S. service member at the center of desperate search efforts in Iran, but to complain about The New York Times.

At the heart of the 79-year-old president’s post, as usual, was himself.

“The Failing New York Times, whose lack of credibility, and their constant Fake News attacks on your favorite President, ME, has caused its circulation to absolutely PLUMMET, referred to our severely weakened and extremely unreliable ‘partner,’ NATO, as the North American Treaty Organization,” he wrote.

2026: F15 shot down in Iran with pilot missing. Trump says absolutely nothing.

1995: When Capt. Scott O’Grady’s F-16 was shot down over Bosnian Serb territory, President Clinton IMMEDIATELY held Rose Garden press event:
