Donald Trump Is Unfit for a Second Term. He failed the tests of leadership and betrayed America. Voters must stand up to him in November.
The New York Times ^ | Jul 11, 2024 02:11 PM | The Editorial Board

Next week, for the third time in eight years, Donald Trump will be nominated as the Republican Party’s candidate for president of the United States. A once great political party now serves the interests of one man, a man as demonstrably unsuited for the office of president as any to run in the long history of the Republic, a man whose values, temperament, ideas and language are directly opposed to so much of what has made this country great.

It is a chilling choice against this national moment. For more than two decades, large majorities of Americans have said they are dissatisfied with the direction of the country, and the post-Covid era of stubborn inflation, high interest rates, social division and political stagnation has left many voters even more frustrated and despondent.

The Republican Party once pursued electoral power in service to solutions for such problems, to building “the shining city on a hill,” as Ronald Reagan liked to say. Its vision of the United States — embodied in principled public servants like George H.W. Bush, John McCain and Mitt Romney — was rooted in the values of freedom, sacrifice, individual responsibility and the common good. The party’s conception of those values was reflected in its longstanding conservative policy agenda, and today many Republicans set aside their concerns about Mr. Trump because of his positions on immigration, trade and taxes. But the stakes of this election are not fundamentally about policy disagreements. The stakes are more foundational: what qualities matter most in America’s president and commander in chief.

Mr. Trump has shown a character unworthy of the responsibilities of the presidency. He has demonstrated an utter lack of respect for the Constitution, the rule of law and the American people...

By “The Editorial Board”.

i.e. no one at the NYT has the guts to sign their actual name to this unsupported fantasy BS.

The NYT will never ever be able to replace the Babylon Bee as a parody site.

On the other hand The Bee actually comes closer to reporting the truth than the NYT does.

BTW was picking Harris for VP one of the biggest backfires in US history?

Since they were going to steal the election anyway they could have picked anyone they wanted, but NoooOOOoooOOOooo, they had to pick Heels Up.

Just one example, evidence for the charges would be normal in journalism. Oh, forgot, this isn’t journalism.

The NYT has become a leftist mouthpiece that has lost the respect it may once have had.

And Romney bought distressed corporations, laid off most employees and sold off company assets to enrich himself.

They quote Ronald Reagan now, while they hated his guts just like they do with Trump. Some of us were there.

I believe that any voter who supports any Democrat, especially Biden, has an unusually low IQ, or is mentally ill, or is totally brainwashed, or is physically threatened, or has been bribed, or is an indoctrinated Socialist or Communist, or is an illegal immigrant, or has a pathological hatred of our Constitutional Republic. In other words it is a person with one or more very serious abnormalities.
