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.

Yeah, they were really sleeping on that. Why didn't they tell us about his "systematic dishonesty, corruption, cruelty and incompetence" months ago? ;)

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.
