For almost a decade the NYT has made it their mission to promote a circus clown/conman/thug..they’ve “translated” his verbal vomit/rectal blowouts into what they considered serious political discussion..they’ve even done a deep dive into redefining Trump’s bottomless pit of lies..he misrepresented/exaggerated/embellished/misspoke..

Hey, you asshole sycophants..Trump is a pathological liar..he lies to breathe/breathes to lie ..

and how does their tough guy reward the paper’s obedience with their sieve approach to his toxic bullshit..he sues them for billions because someone said something mean about the degenerate psycho and they had the audacity not to catch and delete pre publication.. OMG
