The New York Times editorial staff tears Donald Trump apart in one paragraph

The editorial staff of The New York Times just eviscerated Donald Trump in a single paragraph.

The piece, published on Saturday, was the Times‘ latest attack on the former president in the run-up to the election, but the searing indictment was all the more brutal for its brevity.

Rhetorically matter-of-fact, the piece explained briefly and concisely many of the reasons why Trump’s critics think his second term would be disastrous for the country – the implicit point is that no one really needs a lengthy review of all of Trump’s actions; everyone already knows what he’s talking about.

Here it is in full, with the original links to others Times reporting on Trump preserved: “You already know Donald Trump. That’s him unsuitable to lead. Check him out. Listen to that one who know him best. He tried undermine an election and remains one threat to democracy. He helped overturn Roe, with terrible implications. Mr. Trump’s corruption And lawlessness to go past elections: It is its entirety ethos. He lies without to limit. If he is re-elected, the Republican Party will not keep in check it. Mr Trump will be the government to go after opponents. He will chase a cruel policy of mass deportations. He will wreak havoc on the armthe middle class And employers. Another Trump term will hurt the economy climatesmash alliances and strengthen autocrats. Americans should demand better. To vote.”

Last week the Times‘ The editors published a longer, but slightly less scathing article calling on voters not to elect Trump.

“Donald Trump has detailed the dangerous and disturbing actions he says he will take if he becomes president.” the piece reads. “We have two words for American voters: believe him.”

Another longer editorial called Kamala Harris, Trump’s Democratic opponent, “the only patriotic choice for president,” citing Harris’ vow to unite the country and describing Trump as “morally unfit for an office that requires its occupant to to put the good of the nation above self-interest. .”

Presidential endorsements from newspapers have been a point of contention in recent political discourse since The Washington Postowner, billionaire Jeff Bezos, blocked the paper’s planned approval by Kamala Harris. The decision led to several layoffs of the After‘s editorial board, and significant criticism from around the world of journalism.

The billionaire owner of The Los Angeles TimesPatrick Soon-Shiong, Also controversially ordered the editorial board not to endorse a presidential candidate.

Participate The New York Times in endorsing Harris are other important publications such as The Boston Sphere, the Atlantic Ocean, And The New Yorker. The New York Post supported Trump.

With three days to go until the election, Harris and Trump continue to battle to win over voters in key swing states Polls show the two candidates are neck-and-neck in the race for the White House
