Presumptive GOP nominee Donald Trump is again not happy with the “failing” New York Times, this time over an article published Saturday slamming The Donald’s treatment of women over the years.

The failing @nytimes wrote yet another hit piece on me. All are impressed with how nicely I have treated women, they found nothing. A joke!

Everyone is laughing at the @nytimes for the lame hit piece they did on me and women.I gave them many names of women I helped-refused to use

Why doesn't the failing @nytimes write the real story on the Clintons and women? The media is TOTALLY dishonest!
