MIAMI – President Donald Trump slammed the New York Times on Monday for allegedly doctoring a photo of his Doral golf property in South Florida to make it look packed with mold.
“Look what The New York Times did to my beautiful Doral!” Trump exclaimed on Truth Social, as he juxtaposed images of the “artificial” Times image with one he called “reality.”
“They doctored the photo. They artificially put mold all over the building when referring to it in a story!”
The article to which the president referred was published Oct. 4 by reporter Peter Baker, titled: “An Outrage in 2019. No Problem in 2026. Trump Has Moved the Ethical Line.”
Underneath a large photo of Doral taken by Scott McIntyre, the article states: “When President Trump decided in his first term to host the annual Group of 7 summit of world leaders at his own private golf club in Miami, the act of self-dealing was so astonishing that it incited an uproar among fellow Republicans, forcing him to scrap the idea.
“Now in his second term seven years later, Mr. Trump has decided to host the Group of 20 annual summit of world leaders at his private golf club in Miami in December – and this time the plan has generated practically no protest.”
The Times has yet to comment on the president’s claim its photo was doctored.
