The 79-year-old US President was less than impressed at the claims made in the article, which suggested Trump “faces realities of aging in office.”
“The Creeps at the Failing New York Times are at it again,” Trump wrote in a post on his Truth Social on Wednesday.
In the social media post, Trump went on to claim that he had “never worked so hard in my life" in the wake of the allegations, before branding the author "ugly inside and out".
It comes just two weeks after Trump hit out at another female journalist from Bloomberg News who posed a question on the Epstein files, telling her "Quiet! Quiet, piggy” aboard Air Force One.

"Yet despite all of this the Radical Left Lunatics in the soon to fold New York Times did a hit piece on me that I am perhaps losing my Energy, despite facts that show the exact opposite."
"They know this is wrong, as is almost every thing that they write about me, including election results, ALL PURPOSELY NEGATIVE.”
“This cheap ‘RAG’ is truly an ‘ENEMY OF THE PEOPLE,'” Trump wrote.
Trump continued by targeting Katie Rogers, who wrote the piece alongside Dylan Freedman, the paper’s AI projects editor.
“The writer of the story, Katie Rogers, who is assigned to write only bad things about me, is a third rate reporter who is ugly, both inside and out.”
"Despite all of this, I have my highest Poll Numbers, ever, and with record setting investment being made in America, they should only go up," Trump continued.
Trump rounded off the post by admitting that one day he will be "low on energy" - but that day would not be today.
He finished the post: "There will be a day when I run low on Energy, it happens to everyone, but with a PERFECT PHYSICAL EXAM AND A COMPREHENSIVE COGNITIVE TEST (“That was aced”) JUST RECENTLY TAKEN, it certainly is not now!
"GOD BLESS AMERICA & MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!!!"
It's the latest in a series of accusations aimed at the president questioning his healthy.
Earlier this year, pictures showed extensive bruising covered up by make-up on the President's hands.
The White House had claimed the bruising came from shaking too many hands.
