NYT Opinion | Donald Trump Is Unfit to Lead

Absolutely! This is the story the media should focussing on.

Yeah we know

It's a thorough piece of opinion journalism that in 1960 would have helped end Trump's candidacy. But then, if it was 1960 and the country actually valued journalism, Trump would have been disqualified so long ago. In 2024, it probably won't be read by more than a handful of Trump followers, and even they will just sneer at it as confirming their biases about liberal elites.

I'm becoming more and more cynical about November. Swing states are polling way too heavily for Trump - he's leading in most and barely not in just a few. To me the NYT article seems obvious and impossible to dispute, but at this point we've fully partitioned ourselves as a country between those who can spot a con man and those who can't. To those who can't, we let Trump's nihilism metastasize and it's probably too late.

Too much of the country is in the throes of mass delusion, thank you Rupert Murdoch, and I'm pretty sure American democracy has only a few months left to live. I'd love to see a plan, any plan, that realistically leads to a different result. And I am going to vote in November for Biden, or whoever replaces him. But I no longer believe America's ability to do the right thing, even after it's tried everything else (as the saying goes). Now, we've tried Trump and somehow are choosing the vehemently, obviously wrong thing.

Until then, this piece is just a nice epitaph, a "we told you, you should have known" that will remind any MAGA recidivists who eventually experience leopards eating their faces after November, when Trump's next presidency inevitably reveals itself to be an autocratic destruction of American self-rule.

The same New York Times that put up an Op ed from political expert George Clooney yesterday telling Biden to step down. Gotta get the outrage clicks from both sides I guess.

It took an investigative news team and one of the nation's top media organizations eight years to figure that out?

Bold take, NYT.

donald trump is unfit to exist.

People above the age of 60 shouldn't be allowed in political positions in general

He wasn't fit to lead eight years ago either.

Biden should use the recent President is King supreme court ruling to declare both of them unfit to run again.

The new candidates would be roughly on a level playing field to start and hopefully it would open up a extensive conversation about that ruling.

NO SHIT. jeezus h christ NY Times tell us something we don't know.

So much so he has the ability to get people to support Biden. Amazing stuff.

Meanwhile, America ignores this obvious fact to instead focus on….

“BiDeN oLd!”

More news, as it develops.

FUCK NYT. This opinion is like broken clock being right twice a day.

BREAKING NEWS!......

Water is wet.

Remember folks --- this is an opinion piece, it is not news.

The reason you may hear more news about Biden being unfit for office than Trump being unfit is in large part because many Dems are calling for Biden to step aside, and it is newsworthy that a candidate faces calls from his own party.

The GOP is not widely calling for Trump to step down.

No shit

No shit.

That's just, like, your opinion man. (But fo real mine too)

Him, along with the entire political class. Thanks, NYT.

Some one should tell his voters that.

Live

That's been true since the dawn of donnie.

What is the counterpoint elsewhere on the page? "Donald Trump Must Be Allowed To Destroy Us All?"

They misspelled live.

Yeah no shit. Either is the other guy.

NYT hiding behind its “Opinion” section again.

Bullshit. Just like last time. And the time before that.

I'm still not voting Biden
