President Trump seized on former New York Times executive editor Jill Abramson’s recent criticism of the Gray Lady to renew his own attacks on the newspaper.

“’Former @NYTimes editor Jill Abramson rips paper’s ‘unmistakably anti-Trump’ bias,” he tweeted Saturday, quoting Wednesday’s Fox News headline.

“Ms. Abramson is 100% correct,” Trump continued. “Horrible and totally dishonest reporting on almost everything they write. Hence the term Fake News, Enemy of the People, and Opposition Party!”

Abramson’s forthcoming book, “Merchants of Truth,” takes the newspaper to task for its “unmistakably anti-Trump” slant, according to reports.

“Some headlines contained raw opinion, as did some of the stories that were labeled as news analysis,” she writes. “The more anti-Trump the Times was perceived to be, the more it was mistrusted for being biased.”

Abramson said Friday that the reports took her criticism of the Times “totally out of context.”

The book comes after Trump made attacks on the media — and, often, the New York Times in particular — a recurring theme of his presidency.
