There they go again: “It is harder to imagine a candidate more unworthy to serve as president of the United States than Donald Trump.” And with that, the New York Times Editorial Board is off and running with its latest Trump-obsessive and decidedly hysterical denouncement of the former president. And an oh-by-the-way endorsement of Vice President Kamala Harris.  As is frequently true with the Times, the editorial is hysterical in both uses of that word. Humorously, the first definition of the word in Merriam-Webster’s dictionary fits the Times editorial precisely.  The dictionary writes: 1. … the paper did not hesitate to appeal to racial passions in hysterical headlines and rabid editorials. — The New Yorker “relating to, or marked by hysteria.” Amusingly, the Times editorial fits both definitions. It is replete with rants about supposed Trump deficiencies, while also so over the top as to make the editorial laughable on its face. Let’s take a look.   That first paragraph writes:  It is hard to imagine a candidate more unworthy to serve as president of the United States than Donald Trump. He has proved himself morally unfit for an office that asks its occupant to put the good of the nation above self-interest. He has proved himself temperamentally unfit for a role that requires the very qualities — wisdom, honesty, empathy, courage, restraint, humility, discipline — that he most lacks. Say what? The former president lacks “courage”? This is the president that mere months ago was literally shot, sending him to the ground with a seriously bleeding bullet wound to his right ear. A wound that missed hitting and killing him by inches.  His reaction? To get back on his feet, blood pouring from his wound, raising his fist in the air and memorably telling his horrified supporters to “Fight! Fight! Fight!” No courage? Is the Times joking? Seriously? As the American people could see, Trump was the very personification of courage. Trump, they write, has no “empathy”? This appearing as Trump showed up in hard-hit Valdosta, Georgia, with Fox reporting:  Trump was briefed by FEMA as well as state and local officials. And he toured a furniture store heavily damaged by the storm. But after criticizing the federal storm response minutes earlier, Trump said in remarks to a larger crowd assembled that “at a time like this when a crisis hits, when our fellow citizens cry out in need, we’re not talking about politics now. We all need to get together and get this solved.” … “I’ve come to Valdosta with large semi-trucks, many of them, filled with relief aid. A tanker truck filled up with gasoline, a couple of big tanker trucks filled up with gasoline, which they can’t get now. And we’ll be working to distribute it throughout the day,” Trump highlighted. So there is the former president, holding no office at all, showing up in Valdosta “with large semi-trucks, many of them, filled with relief aid.” That’s lacking empathy? Really? Where was Harris? Where has Biden been? Sleeping at the beach again? No wisdom? This is the self-same former president who made clear to America’s adversaries that he supported a peace through strength foreign policy, which in turn kept Russia’s Putin from invading Ukraine and Hamas from invading Israel. Biden and Harris, decidedly lacking that wisdom, made a point of showcasing weakness, which resulted in the invasion of both Ukraine and Israel. Which is to say neither had an ounce of wisdom. Trump has no honesty? It isn’t Trump who, as Miranda Devine details in her bestselling book, is “The Big Guy.” The “Big Guy,” of course, is Joe Biden. Biden and his web of outright corruption get not a mention in this editorial. But it’s Trump — who has done none of that — whose honesty is said to be lacking? Laughable. Then the Times claims Trump has no “discipline.” Really? The man who doesn’t drink alcohol, the man who built a global business empire from scratch, the man who runs a personal schedule that exhausts those around him — has no discipline?  No restraint? The man who has been subjected to massive attacks of lawfare and a weaponized government and has respectfully complied with instructions — coming from utterly corrupt prosecutors — has shown no restraint? Let’s get real.  In the exact unawareness style of the Left, the Times editorial accuses Trump of the very traits that exemplify the American Left itself, as shown repeatedly by the likes of Harris and Biden. It is, in this election, Harris who has shown a vivid lack of  “wisdom, honesty, empathy, courage, restraint, humility, [and] discipline.” With not a peep of opposition from the Times. Along the way, the Times castigates Trump — not Harris! — for the massively incompetent border crisis that has sent tens of thousands of unvetted illegal migrants across the border into the U.S., resulting in headlines like this one from Fox News:  Tens of thousands of illegal immigrants with sexual assault, murder convictions in US: ICE data ICE provided the new data to lawmakers this week That is not the result of Trump. It is the result of the policies of the Biden–Harris administration. And the Times editorial says Trump — not Harris, who has been running immigration policy! — is the problem? One could go on — and on and on — with the decided untruths of this Times editorial. With the “insurrection” Big Lie that is a left-wing favorite. With the Left’s addiction to running corrupt elections, as documented here in this space.  But the central fact is that old leftist standby: projection. In this case projecting onto former President Trump the traits and actions that are standard operating procedure for the Left and its editorial allies at the New York Times. Ya can’t make it up. Unless, of course, you’re the New York Times Editorial Board. READ MORE: Casey Attacks GOP’s McCormick For Holding Father Gov.
