United States President Donald Trump's press secretary Sean Spicer has hit out at the New York Times for publishing a story detailing supposed "disorder in the West Wing".

The article details the President's apparent lonely existence in the White House once the sun goes down.

The article stated: "When Mr Trump is not watching television in his bathrobe or on his phone reaching out to old campaign hands and advisers, he will sometimes set off to explore the unfamiliar surroundings of his new home."

Mr Spicer lashed out at the Times, telling reporters aboard the President's plane Air Force One: "That story was so riddled with inaccuracies and lies that they owe the President an apology for the way that thing was written.

"There were literally blatant factual errors and it's unacceptable to see that kind of reporting.

"I don't think the President wears a bathrobe, and definitely doesn't own one."

Photos of the President wearing a robe prior to his days in the White House quickly emerged on social media.

The New York Times article claims the new President is "almost always by himself" in the West Wing each night, as his wife Melania and son Barron continue to live in New York.
