Trump escalates personal attacks on female reporters, Axios analysis finds

Axios analysis documents a pattern of President Trump disparaging female journalists, including recent insults aimed at Maggie Haberman and Kristen Welker. The attacks, which frame coverage as personal vendettas, are part of an ongoing escalation in rhetoric against the press. Press-freedom advocates warn this undermines media trust and exposes reporters to harassment, though the direct market impact is negligible.
