The New York Times did not blink. The Times: “We won’t be issuing a retraction." But they didn't stop there. "This is another all too common example of the president lashing out at coverage he doesn’t like and belittling journalists who report the facts.”

Trump again claims the Iran “10-point plan” was a “fake hoax”—but those terms came directly from Iran, were widely reported, and he himself admitted he’s using them as the framework for negotiations. How could someone who lies so brazenly about undisputed facts ever be trusted?
