The New York Times this weekend used just one paragraph to sum up why GOP presidential candidate Donald Trump is totally unfit to return to the White House.
With the polls between Trump and Democratic rival Kamala Harris still so close, the newspaper’s editorial board published a short but scathing analysis of the former president.
Trump is “a threat to democracy,” “lies without limit” and in a second term “will use the government to go after opponents” and “pursue a cruel policy of mass deportations,” the publication warned.
The piece contained 110 words and linked out to multiple Times articles to back up it points.
It ended with the word, “Vote.”
The Times endorsed Harris in September, in contrast to The Washington Post and Los Angeles Times which have opted not to formally back a candidate in this election.
Last month, The New York Times’ board urged voters to believe Trump on the rhetoric he’s been spewing on the campaign trail and before.
“The record shows that Mr. Trump often pursues his stated goals, regardless of how plainly they lack legal or moral grounding,” it wrote.
“The record further shows that many of his most reckless efforts in his first administration were stymied only because of others in his administration who blocked, delayed or watered down his aims to ensure that he could not put himself above the law or the country,” it added.
