"When asked at an event at the New York Economic Club 'what specific piece of legislation will you advance' to make child care affordable, the 78-year-old Trump answered:
'Well I would do that. And we’re sitting down. You know I was somebody. We had Senator Marco Rubio, and my daughter Ivanka was so impactful on that issue. It’s a very important issue.'"

"But I think when you talk about the kind of numbers that I’m talking about, that because—look, child care is child care. It’s—couldn’t, you know, it’s something you have to have it—in this country you have to have it."
And on and on the verbal diarrhea flows, nonsense syllable following on nonsense syllable — with the same media who hounded Biden relentlessly re: age and mental fitness saying nary word about the man's total unsuitability to lead.

"At a meeting of the Economic Club of New York, Trump was asked a pre-cleared question about the specific legislation he would pass to address the cost of childcare. His unintelligible answer is a clear sign of mental deterioration. But the audience applauded his answer and the New York Times 'sane-washed' the answer to make it sound intelligible."
~ Robert B. Hubbell

"That would be the same New York Times that wrote dozens of articles criticizing Joe Biden’s mental state because he speaks with a stutter. ...
We are witnessing the moral collapse of the major media in the US. They seem incapable of rising to the challenge of writing truthfully about an aspiring dictator who has attempted to overthrow the Constitution and vows to do so again."

"He is a criminal, conman, coup-plotter, and insurrectionist who is in obvious mental decline. But the Times re-interprets his gibberish into intelligible soundbites and pretends that his statements have meaning when they are utterances designed only to forestall his sentencing to prison."

"Trump continued his reign of stupid at the Economic Club of New York. This rambling, incoherent mess of a speech is definitive proof that this man should never get near public office. It’s also proof that our corporate institutions, especially the media, has been utterly complicit in what Parker Molloy has astutely called 'sanewashing.'”

Jamison Foser looks at New York Times publisher A.G. Sulzberger's insistence that this outlet is driven by a commitment to "neutrality," and says,
"This is a familiar stance, and it is bullshit.
It is bullshit because critics of the Times do not ask the paper to 'cast aside neutrality and directly oppose [Trump’s] reelection.'”

"That’s a straw man Sulzberger invents because he does not dare engage our actual argument, which is that the Times is not neutral, and does not even define the term correctly, and the paper often deploys double standards and false equivalencies that benefit Trump and the Republican Party."

@wdlindsy the really amazing thing about Trump's response was that even the "sanewashed" version is crazy. But the NYT won't mention that either.
If you take the NYT version, then Trump is proposing a global trade war as a solution to the need for child care.

"From there, the money went by wire transfer to three Turkish shell companies, three additional shells in the United Arab Emirates, and one phony company in Mauritius, an island nation in the Indian Ocean about 1,000 miles off the coast of East Africa. From there, the money made its way to a bank in New York controlled by Tenet Media founders Laren Chen and Liam Donovan."

"Donald Trump’s media empire, Truth Social, is losing tens of millions of dollars and its stock has been dropping precipitously even though its founder is a candidate for President of the United States, which would seem to be a benefit to the company rather than a drag on its earnings.
But little Tenet Media down in Tennessee is healthy and profitable."

"According to the indictment, $8.7 million was transferred to the accounts of right-wing commentators Pool and Johnson and Rubin. The remaining $1.3 million was presumably used to pay Chen and Donovan as founders and managers.
And whoop-dee-doo! They didn’t have to pay a cent to Eduard Grigoriann because he exists only as a figment of the imagination of the Russian handlers in Moscow who have been running Tenet Media all along."

"The indictment underscores how stupid these MAGA media celebrities were, when they were approached with this super-cool opportunity to make a few videos per week in exchange for (in a couple cases) millions of dollars, to be paid by a completely fake man named EDUARDO GRIGORIANN!"

"This has led to the delightful specter of high-profile rightwing commentators loudly insisting they were too stupid to know that Russian money was behind the wildly exorbitant sums they received for producing content. ...
From the details in the indictment, it’s impossible Chen and Donovan didn’t know their money was coming from Russia via shady means.

It doesn't matter if they said these things because Russia paid them, or if Russia paid them because they were already saying what Russia wanted to hear. Either way, they are working for the benefit of Russia. -

@wdlindsy Trump sounds like a third grader asked to do a book report on a book he never read.
That is what old media should be reporting.
An English major should start a Trump speech analysis blog to aid the press in deconvolving the nonsense to show he is not answering the question.
A new media should be pointing out his lies upon lies.
I agree with the wag that said he has made 87000 lies since he started politics.
