It is infuriating how articles like this treat him as a serious person when the world and its dog know what a piece of crap he is. I have become so disillusioned with the media’s singular refusal to hold him accountable, and now we’re getting puff pieces from once credible sources. I hate it here

I’ll never forget it. His words to me absolutely shocked me at the time. And as I progressed in my career I came to realize the entire real estate industry sees Trump in the same way - as a fraud and criminal.

It was the age of Apprentice. I’ll never forget what that CEO said to me. He said not to look up to Trump. That he’s a fraud, a criminal, he doesn’t pay the consultants and contractors that make him successful, people die on his job sites and he’d never associate the Intrawest brand with Trump

I started my career as a real estate developer in the late 90’s, with Intrawest, a Canadian Ski company. The CEO of the company told me Trump had called and wanted to do a brand marketing deal on one of Intawest’s new condo buildings at a ski resort. I was starry eyed.

You can’t discuss Trump’s career in construction without noting how refusing to pay contractors was the defining feature of that career. He was and is a con man.

NYT just ran a bizarrely credulous piece about New College, the school that DeSantis and Rufo have turned upside down.
There is one good outcome of the article: This @donmoyn.bsky.social post, which is one of the best pieces of media criticism I've read all year.

This is so bleak, but I can’t remember the last time I read the Strib in print. I’m part of the problem.

May 25, 1867: Minneapolis Tribune prints its 1st newspaper, 15 weeks after the city is chartered. The Tribune was an innovator, receiving the 1st Mergenthaler typesetting machines in 1891 and printing the 1st cartoon in 1897. Until today, it was the nation's 7th largest in print circulation.

It’s hard to believe that one man can cause so much stress, so much fear, so much pain and suffering…a man who took an oath to preserve and protect our Constitution. This man, who is inciting terror across our land, must be removed from office. In a sane world, it would happen immediately.
