OH MY GODDDDDD

This Donald Trump tongue bath care of the New York Times is disgusting. The normalization of Trump has begun.

Get a load of this shit the NYT attempts to present as just a routine and totally acceptable bit of news about a presidential candidate:

Donald J. Trump is now the presumptive Republican presidential nominee, but he is also keenly aware that many in his own party — and many Americans, frankly — are scared and anxious about the idea of him in the Oval Office. Even he is not sure how a deeply divided nation would adjust to the first 100 days of a Trump presidency.

What he does know, however, is what he wants to do in those early months. In a series of recent interviews, he sketched out plans that include showdowns with business leaders over jobs and key roles for military generals, executives and possibly even family members in advising him about running the country.

Shortly after the Nov. 8 election, President-elect Trump and his vice president — most likely a governor or member of Congress — would begin interviewing candidates for the open Supreme Court seat and quickly settle on a nominee in the mold of Justice Antonin Scalia.

He would start "building a government based on relationships," perhaps inviting the Republican leaders Paul D. Ryan and Mitch McConnell to escape the chilly Washington fall and schmooze at Mar-a-Lago over golf and two-pound lobsters.

On Inauguration Day, he would go to a "beautiful" gala ball or two, but focus mostly on rescinding Obama executive orders on immigration and calling up corporate executives to threaten punitive measures if they shift jobs out of the United States.

And by the end of his first 100 days as the nation's 45th leader, the wall with Mexico would be designed, the immigration ban on Muslims would be in place, the audit of the Federal Reserve would be underway and plans to repeal the Affordable Care Act would be in motion.

"I know people aren't sure right now what a President Trump will be like," he said. "But things will be fine. I'm not running for president to make things unstable for the country."

The juxtaposition of those final two paragraphs! He's going to ban Muslims from entering the country and decimate healthcare access, but he's not running to "make things unstable for the country." The country. Who the fuck does "the country" include? Because it clearly doesn't include Muslims or people in need of affordable healthcare access!

Naturally, this most basic analysis of his bullshit does not feature anywhere in the New York Times article. Because the point of journalism is, apparently, to uncritically act as stenographer for a bigoted demagogue. For fuck's sake.
