It would lead the reader into premonitions of assassination, and Trump would become obsessed by the thought of a violent death. We'll find his only comfort is is nightly McDonald's happy meal, safe food from poisoning since food preparers wouldn't know he was coming. And then it ends quickly with Trump falling on the floor with a heart attack, only Mike Pence in the room, he waits a little too long before calling for help.Ares Olympushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09726811306826601686noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8078379512095504946.post-44483664012177037762018-10-27T12:49:32.355-07:002018-10-27T12:49:32.355-07:00Anon, the NYT knows its dogs.Anon, the NYT knows its dogs.Sam L.https://www.blogger.com/profile/00996809377798862214noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8078379512095504946.post-19105604096328863972018-10-27T12:46:46.974-07:002018-10-27T12:46:46.974-07:00Perhaps it can be called "dog whistle journal...Perhaps it can be called "dog whistle journalism".Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8078379512095504946.post-67457396513373935052018-10-27T09:16:29.980-07:002018-10-27T09:16:29.980-07:00Just one more reason for me to despise, detest, an...Just one more reason for me to despise, detest, and distrust the NYT.

One thing is certain: it is not journalism.”<br /><br />I think the Times gave up on that fantasy a long time ago.
