Is this an 'entertainment' site?
The only 'entertaining' thing about Asshat is that he looks like a worm in human form.

Donald Trump will arrive at the 2024 Republican convention — his Republican convention, finally and completely, without the dissent of 2016 or the pandemic that overshadowed 2020 — closer than ever to a second term. But the likelihood of a Trump restoration has not yet brought clarity about what it would actually usher in.
With Trump there is always the whipsaw, the forays toward normalcy and the reversion to a darker mean. Asked on the debate stage whether he would spend a second term seeking revenge on his political enemies, he promised that “my retribution is going to be success. We’re going to make this country successful again.” A few days later, he was on Truth Social, amplifying a post demanding a military tribunal for Liz Cheney.
With Trump, too, there is always the question of how his policy impulses interact with his personal laziness. He recently made a big show of repudiating Project 2025, a Heritage Foundation blueprint stuffed with severely conservative proposals, and then he produced a Republican Party platform stripped of some gun-rights and pro-life language and pledging to protect Medicare and Social Security from any kind of cuts. Are these signs that Trump knows he can just roll over conservative activist groups in pursuit of popularity? Or are they meaningless gestures, because personnel is policy and he’s going to hire all the guys who worked on Project 2025?
There’s no singular Trumpism whose workings we can confidently predict. Instead there are Trumpist scenarios and Trumpian personae — whose interactions, if he wins, will give his second term its shape.

That was David Brooks.
I believe gun rights are simply omitted.
As is the definition of marriage as one man one woman.
As is the call for a human life amendment.
I do not support this platform. We are winning, for heaven’s sake. We don’t need to go left.
FR could get shut down over it.
It’s easy to figure out.

“Personal laziness”? FU, NYT.
Not for Karens, evidently.
Cutting Medicare and Social Security I can get behind.
—
You are very cruel, doing that would instantly alienate all people on SS and Medicare - and dovetail with Biden’s cutting of Medicare Advantage plans in 2024 and 2025
DJT wants to PROTECT those seniors on SS and Medicare, not let them die penniless in some alleyway inside a cardboard box as Biden would have it.
Here are the 4 ways this ends- Trump becomes the President.
They will all deal with it more than 4 ways, as dysfunction is chaotic
But they won’t change it. They’re out of power even the NYT
It’s impossible to read the scribblings of a person so childishly and obviously biased . As fare as revenge, how can Trump exact reveng in law since that would require someone BREAKING the law? Have democrats violated the law or constitution? If not they’re safe…
This is the second time today (that I know of) that you’ve posted a Times article and failed at posting.
Give us the Bullet Points!
You know the Slimes is behind a paywall. You know no one wants to give them any hits. You know clickbaiting is bad.
Give us the Bullet Points!
I don’t take orders from you.
Check your email and learn something, if you are capable.
Trump has an obsession to MAGA - it is his dream, his vision. And the means to accomplish this is set out in the GOP Platform - a MAGA document. I wonder if anyone at the NYT has bothered to read it??

Empty rhetoric.
No content.
Bubble talk.
The article says there are 4 ways.... You already posted the first one.
First, there is Trump the moderate...
Now do the other three.
Simple, huh? You break no excerpt rules and you provide us responders with what the Slimes is babling on about.
I checked my email ....
Go to https://archive.today and enter the NYT URL, Bullet Boy.
That way you can read the whole thing.

I could do that. Why would I want to read the whole thing? Why don’t you learn to post and not be a clickbaiter.
Trump has a self-absorbed obsession to MAGA. The means of accomplishing this is set out in the GOP platform - a MAGA document. I wonder if the NYT has bothered to read it??
If I am doing it wrong, have my account banned forever.
When I first started coming here there were new articles posted every minute. I really liked that. Now sometimes there are no new articles posted for hours. I post to fil that gap. If that offends you, please have me banned forever. You’d be doing me a favor. I need to find something else to do.
