The former president criticized former U.S. attorney Jeanine Pirro after she dismissed a criminal case involving alleged vandalism at the Reflecting Pool near the Capitol. In a televised interview, he said she “choked” and “folded like an umbrella,” expressing disappointment in her handling of the matter. (No wire‑service version was provided.)
The New York Post, a right‑leaning outlet, led with Trump’s vivid insult and quoted the “folded like an umbrella” line in the headline, framing the story as a personal rebuke. Both the New York Times and The Guardian, positioned on the left, used milder language—“choked” and “folding”—and placed the legal dismissal at the story’s core, omitting the colorful metaphor. The Guardian additionally noted speculation about Trump possibly removing Pirro, a detail absent from the Post’s coverage.
