Drudge Retort: The Other Side of the News
Monday, October 05, 2026

President Donald Trump offered an ominous prediction/threat on Monday, saying The New York Times is nearing the end of its existence. The president went on a tear against the Gray Lady after it reported that the venue where he hosted a rally in Alabama on Friday "was not full." Trump took to Truth Social, where he mistakenly claimed the Times was referring to his rally in Ohio on Saturday. "There are no empty seats, there haven't been for years, and there never will be," Trump wrote in part. "The Rallies are HOTTER' than ever. They are all happenings,' and they never happened before, and will never be duplicated again."

A few hours later, he fired off another post, but this one was more personal and threatening. He belittled Times reporters Peter Baker and Maggie Haberman before adding, "Some day in the not too distant future The Times will be forced to close its dirty doors, and that will be a Great Day for America!"

I saw videos of two recent rallies that Pres Trump held, in low-capacity arenas.

There were lots of empty seats.

The Alabama rally was held at Mitchell Center, which seats 10,000 people. ( www.southalabama.edu )

Yet there seemed to be some empty seats in that 10,000 seat arena...
