Condoms for Gaza? Ukraine started the war with Russia? The president’s manipulations of the truth lay the groundwork for radical change.

The United States sent $50 million in condoms to Hamas. Diversity programs caused a plane crash. China controls the Panama Canal. Ukraine started the war with Russia.

Except, no. None of that is true. Not that it stops President Trump. In the first month since he returned to power, he has demonstrated once again a brazen willingness to advance distortions, conspiracy theories and outright lies to justify major policy decisions.

Mr. Trump has long been unfettered by truth when it comes to boasting about his record and tearing down his enemies. But what were dubbed “alternative facts” in his first term have quickly become a whole alternative reality in his second to lay the groundwork for radical change as he moves to aggressively reshape America and the world.

    The New York times uses Trump to sell copy.

    Otherwise they would have said this months ago.

      Not just that, I like how they went with “radical change” instead of “wanton destruction” or “unlawful government restructuring”.

        Okay, to be fair I quit paying attention to the New York Times before Biden dropped as they were focusing way more on Biden’s age then Trump’s numerous felonies.
