Have you ever seen elite journalists ignore what Trump has said on his social media platform for so long?
INCLUDING his attempt to disavow Project 2025 which [checks notes] NYT long had the lead on reporting?
Glenn Thrush:
Have you ever seen Donald #Trump be so (relatively) quiet for so long on any topic?
@GottaLaff @emptywheel As long as NYT and other MSM keeps flogging the Biden-is-old story 45 is happy not to be the center of attention. Starting to listen to his advisors, for once.
Biden is old. Trump is a convicted felon.
Biden is old. Trump is an adjudicated rapist.
Biden is old. Trump is a con artist who stole money from a children's charity.
Give me the old guy, every single time. And if he's too old and can't make it another 4 years, give me the smart, tough woman of color to finish it up.
I was raised as a Republican, and they weren't great then (Reagan) but they've gone completely insane now.

The polls are wrong. France was.

Well. TFG is now a martyr.
@locksmithprime @66gardeners @ScottSoCal @GottaLaff @emptywheel He is now both a martyr and a stochastic terrorist. Come full circle.
@JonChevreau @66gardeners @ScottSoCal @GottaLaff @emptywheel
I hope he eventually understands this is his life now. Always looking over his shoulder. Worried. Not free. He created this. Time to pay.
@locksmithprime @66gardeners @ScottSoCal @JonChevreau @GottaLaff @emptywheel nah. I don't think it changes anything.
@ScottSoCal @JonChevreau @GottaLaff @emptywheel
It should not even be this close, right? If the US were that serious, that mature, stable, law-abiding country as we like to claim ourselves to be, that racist, convicted felon would not be anywhere near a party nomination.
