This appears in a New York Times news story about Trump's berserker Florida rally yesterday. It is not from a commentary.
"The 'Democrat party,' he began, 'is divided in chaos. And having a full-scale breakdown.'
"No lie detected there."
Read it again. The second paragraph is what the reporter wrote. It's not a quote of Trump.
Something fundamental has changed inside the Times newsroom. Cutesy cheerleading for a would-be dictator is, to put it mildly, not a good look.
