    Oh, was it buried in the pile under the tax cuts for billionaires and whoring for clicks?

  2. I’ve really been enjoying these articles lately from NJ.com. I hope they continue to gain readers.

  3. “Trumps slurring and inability to stay on topic are part of a much larger problem that paints a picture of cognitive decline. This is why it will probably cost Biden a solution to Gaza…..”- NYT probably

    There is nothing new about the NYT’s ethical flexibility. I did an analysis of their position on war in Vietnam from 1954 to 1967. It wasn’t until public opinion was solidly against the war that they questioned the wisdom of that sad adventure. NYT is a follower and has never led.

  5. We can mock the New York Times and question its motivations, but at least they have written an article that addresses what is perhaps the most damaging risk of a Donald Trump being elected, a totally mentally incompetent person sitting in the oval office. To be very old, probably physically decrepit, and clearly shifting towards senility deserves all the headlines the established media can give it.

  6. Too late. You’ve already helped to install our new God King. Excellent work New York Times.

    >Interestingly, in Sunday’s piece, the Times calls Trum’s condition a “cognitive change,” while the story’s URL says it’s “cognitive decline.” Even in this instance, it’s likely a telling hedge.

    Oh that’s not a hedge. They caught them red handed trying to convert a bad headline into equivocal to help trump. Fuck The NY Times

  8. Brit here. If there were one US newspaper/website that gave a fair and balanced view of the candidates and the election which would it be?
    I wouldn’t mind paying for the election period just to follow the news.

  9. Tinfoil hat time. NYT and other big news sources have the green light to report this because it sets him up retiring or being forced out of he wins the election, clearing the way for President Vance. It would also explain why Musk just showed up as a cheerleader at a rally. Trump retires, gets pardoned by Vance for everything under the sun, Vance shuts down any current DoJ investigations, and Musk/Thiel get their guy in the big chair.

    And if Donald doesn’t want to give up the throne? 25th Amendment time. After all the NYT called Trump’s mental state into question…

  10. You know the NYT has seen the writing in the wall, when Maggie F***ing Haberman said some unflattering things about Trump on the NYT’s flagship podcast, The Daily, last week. She’s been the Trump standardbearer / apologist on the NYT for at least 8 years.

    Journalism has truly been revealed as a compromised joke thanks to Bush & Trump.

    $5, if he loses in November he will suddenly be too far gone to go to prison or face any further consequences in court.

  13. Just more press getting Americans ready for the hand over to JD after the first month of trump’s presidency. Trump has become a Trojan horse to get JD and project 2025 to steam roll America.

  14. I’m going to be honest: even IF I was predisposed to agree with your premise before reading the article, if you have a massive typo in your first or second short paragraph I am going to immediately disqualify the article as unserious. I might even disqualify all articles by that source.

    Do better.

    For clarity: I’m referring to along versus alone.

  15. NYT had always played it super safe and not rock the boat. The fact that they are actually jumping ship means even the zealously cautious media outlets can’t ignore Trump’s obvious decline.

    But in the mildest way possible. Tomorrow they’ll be back to their Trump propaganda ordered by their ceo

    I’ve been a subscriber for years but no longer read their domestic political coverage. Of all the things a newspaper could take a stand on or do crusading journalism for the Times did it to get Biden out of the race after the debate. But Trump and Republican lawlessness continues to be normalized and largely gets a pass. It’s mind-boggling.

    Funny how as you scroll down everyone forgot the topic and started talking about the Vietnam War !
    Or did they ?
