The @nytimes.com covers for Trump like a battered spouse. “Your father didn’t take a wrong turn and get lost! He is simply known for improvisational departures, you see. And once again he made a masterful decision to take a detour.”

It was a disastrous town hall. But why should Donald worry about people finding out when a paper like the NYT sanewashes it for them? www.youtube.com/live/AnRsV83...

The failing @nytimes.com, in a dereliction of duty that should surprise NO ONE, refuses to point out the Emperor's lack of clothes.

Grampa Donald stays up until everyone's left the family gathering, hugging them and waving goodbye, even if he can't remember most of their names.

Totally . Such a classic response to an abuser . Placate then and explain for them so they leave you alone . They never will

I know these types of observations are trite, at this point, but if Biden did this it would lead coverage for a week about his diminished mental capacity.

The nazi who fell off the mountain also made an improvisational departure.

Authoritarianism isn't arriving in the form of jackboots, but through complacency. It's as if the legacy media have an unspoken deal with Trump: 'We won't call you out on your fascism, and you won't send your hordes to burn us at the stake, if you'd be so kind, sir.'
