Donald Trump told supporters at a rally on Sunday that he “shouldn’t have left” the White House after the 2020 election. He also joked about reporters being shot.

Thank you for reporting on the dangerous rhetoric and threats Trump has been saying. I may be critical of the NYTs but it’s important to acknowledge when they do share the facts. People need to be aware of the danger he poses, and yes to journalists, too.
I like to think there was some yelling by the actual reporter who wrote this at the editor or whoever who put in that original headline and subhead. This is 4:45pm.
NYT took your suggestion. I checked the article, and it now says "said" instead of "joked". Hooray for a small bit of honest reporting in a sea of sanewashing!
I feel bad for your reporters who probably didn’t think he was joking, but who were overruled by an editor who wanted to appear “fair” to the guy who was quite obviously not joking.
NYT: “We don’t know what was in Trump’s mind when he said ____ so we can’t call it a ‘lie.’”
Also NYT: “He must have been joking about ____, I can just tell.”
Harrison Ford: ”I've got one vote, same as anyone else, and I'm going to use it to move forward. I'm going to vote for Kamala Harris.” ❤️ https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=h7lkU2WvbuM
It would've been fun to watch him being dragged out by the Secret Service.
(The Secret Service operates under the Dept of Homeland Security, which is an Executive department, and therefore was under the control of Biden as soon as he was inaugurated.)
people trying to preempt punishment by fascist takeover in journalism tend to give as much deference as possible to the fascist, thus also increasing the likelihood of their power grab's success
If he wins, the world will watch as many of your most vocal defenders of the rule of law and actual democracy disappear.
A civil war is very likely.
God keep and preserve the USA - as Trump won’t.
I dunno - maybe write the blurb a little stronger next time. A little more like the “existential threat to democracy itself” that it, you know, is. Thx 💋
He should’ve left the country after his little coup, I guess we’ll have to wait another few weeks now to see him run to Moscow before his felony sentencing.
I had an awful thought a few days ago of a future where he loses and then flees the country and we have the whole maga movement claiming he's running a "government in exile".
He 'joked'? What is up with American journalists? Have any of you studied journalism? Ever? Seriously, this is utterly appallingly stupid sanewashing of Trump. Do you know what - if he wins on Tuesday you will have deserved it thanks to the likes of the idiots at the NYT. He joked...
No. He tried to overthrow the government after losing election with insurrection with his terrorist at Capital Bldg to stop peaceful transfer of Presidential power. Was that a joke though? No. World watched as 1st time our country looked 3rd world because of Trump.
Before noon while still Pres 1-20 he took nuclear/military intelligence docs & 100’s more to MAL.NARA requested them 2021, his atty’s signed doc he did.Warrant on 8-2022 got 100’s of classified docs.How many were sold? He didn’t take for souvenirs.He was $1.3 billion in debt Oct 2021.SourceForbes.
Joking?! Where is your self-respect? Last presidency, he had some people around him who would distract him or talk him out of his worst instincts, which are the same people now sounding alarms about the threat he poses. Those people are gone, and you think he's fucking joking
You guys are so craven & chicken-shit, you even sterilize Trump’s comments in which he blatantly aims targeted incitement of violence directly at you & your peers.
What’s it going to take for you to get that *he wants you all shot dead*?
Fun! @nytimes.com, the public are worried about your safety as well as our own with this violent rhetoric from a candidate for president, but y’all are just enjoying his comedy show!
Corporate media thinks so little of their own reporters that they think it’s fine that the guy running for president says would-be assassins should just shoot through the people they assigned to cover the event. They are so cowardly they won’t even defend their own employees. Embarrassingly pathetic
The framing on this is astonishing. You whitewash the fact that Trump said he should have forcibly stayed in office after he lost the election AND after his coup attempt failed, then you pretend like he was joking when he said YOUR OWN STAFF should be shot.
Texts from Michael Cohen to NYTimes reporter Maggie Haberman show how former Trump’s ex-fixer worked to protect Trump from scrutiny over the hush money payment central to his ongoing criminal trial.
Trump's Dirty Maggie 'Duranty' Haberman and The Nefarious New York Times are repeating their history of enabling apologists for corrupt Republican regimes http://www.citjourno.org/maggie3

So maybe, you know, call this what it is.
Well, if he wins and delivers the "punchline" to you, should we laugh?
Also NYT: “He must have been joking about ____, I can just tell.”

are you editorializing in the news section, The New York Times?
A civil war is very likely.
God keep and preserve the USA - as Trump won’t.
NYT: He must be joking, right? Right?
So how does it make you feel, New York Times, when your candidate "jokes" about shooting you?
You used to be such a good news source...
*I’ve thought this for a long time
Remember when he joked about his cult needing to shoot “fake news media” to get to him? He’s so funny and not at all deranged.
Don’t you dare put it the paper that he says this stuff. lol who am I kidding
FUUUUUUUUCK YOU.
You guys are so craven & chicken-shit, you even sterilize Trump’s comments in which he blatantly aims targeted incitement of violence directly at you & your peers.
What’s it going to take for you to get that *he wants you all shot dead*?
"He also joked about reporters being shot"
Cohen wrote Haberman: "Please start writing and I will call you soon"
