Former U.S. President Donald Trump lashed out at the media, accusing them of ignoring his political influence while amplifying that of New York City Mayor Eric Adams. Trump took to his social media platform, Truth Social, to express his frustration.

"Adams got three communists he endorsed elected and got a standing ovation from the fake news," Trump wrote, referencing primary election results. He contrasted this with his own perceived successes, stating, "I helped elect great American Patriots 16-0, and the fake news has said nothing about it."
