Trump responded to a New York Times headline that suggested little has changed after almost four months of war, calling the report corrupt and bankrupt. He listed a series of alleged collapses in the opposing side's military—its army, navy, air force, bases, missiles, drones, and production—along with the loss of top commanders, 250% inflation, a broken economy, unpaid soldiers, an open Strait of Hormuz, abundant oil flow, and record-high U.S. stock markets and job opportunities. He framed these points as the real changes, accusing critics of being corrupt and unethical.
