President Donald Trump ripped into the New York Times calling it "dumb" when it comes to foreign policy.
The president's blast came in the form of three tweets Wednesday aimed at what he called the "failing" newspaper:
The Hill reported it was unclear which New York Times story angered the president.
However, it noted a Thomas Friedman column in the newspaper on Tuesday, where he wrote: "Xi has been brilliant at playing Trump, plying him with flattery and short-term trade concessions and deflecting him from the real structural trade imbalances with China."
Earlier on Wednesday, Trump attacked CNN, calling the news network a "loser."
