TUESDAY: The New York Times reports what he said!

TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 30, 2025

Except they pretty much didn't: At first, we planned to give credit where due—while also praising your incomparable Daily Holer for banging out those results.

We could barely believe our eyes! In an admittedly short report, the New York Times had reported the contents of the latest strange post on the president's Truth Social site! 

There it sits, right at the top of the paper's online front page. Headline included, the report starts out like this:

Deadlock Grows Uglier as Congress Heads Toward Shutdown

The federal government barreled toward a shutdown on Tuesday ahead of a midnight deadline, as President Trump and Republicans in Congress remained deadlocked with Democrats in a spending standoff that was growing uglier by the hour.

Democratic leaders lashed out at Mr. Trump for posting a crude, A.I.-generated video insulting and mocking them on Monday night, hours after meeting with them at the White House to discuss the impasse.

The deepfake video superimposed a cartoon mustache and sombrero over Representative Hakeem Jeffries of New York, who was pictured standing silently while Mariachi music played and the voice of Senator Chuck Schumer was distorted to deliver expletive-laden remarks that included the line, “Nobody likes Democrats anymore.”

Mr. Jeffries responded on Monday night by posting a photograph of Mr. Trump smiling alongside Jeffrey Epstein, the disgraced financier who died in prison in 2019 while awaiting trial on sex trafficking charges.

Whew! The two parties were really swapping insults! Also, you can see to her credit, Catie Edmondson managed to say this about the A.I.-generated phony video posted on Truth Social:

"The voice of Senator Chuck Schumer was distorted to deliver expletive-laden remarks."

Given the spectacular weirdness of what the president had done, it's a bit unclear what that actually means.  It was apparently beneath the dignity of the Times to report the contents of the president's very strange post in a more explicit manner.

In this morning's report, we spared you the transcript of what the fake Senato Schumer is pictured saying in the president's fake Truth Social video. This is the way Mediaite reported the contents of this very strange post by the president:

Trump Posts Deranged AI Video of Chuck Schumer Calling Democrats ‘Just a Bunch of Woke Pieces of Sh*t’

President Donald Trump raised eyebrows on Monday after he posted a bizarre, AI-generated video of Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) calling Democrats “a bunch of woke pieces of sh*t.”

In the video, Schumer could be seen standing next to a stereotypical Mexican version of House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY)—complete with sombrero and moustache—while saying:

"Look guys, there’s no way to sugarcoat it. Nobody likes Democrats anymore. We have no voters left because of all of our woke, trans bullsh*t. Not even Black people want to vote for us anymore. Even Latinos hate us. So we need new voters, and if we give all these illegal aliens free healthcare, we might be able to get them on our side so they can vote for us. They can’t even speak English so they won’t realize we’re just a bunch of woke pieces of sh*t, you know? At least for a while, until they learn English and they realize they hate us too."

The president posted the video on his Truth Social and X accounts.

And so on from there.

In fairness, it's hard to comprehend how bizarre this Truth Social video is without actually watching the video. That said, the Times report skips the part of the fake statement by Schumer which struck observers all over CNN and MSNBC last night as being most transgressive:

[Latinos] can’t even speak English so they won’t realize we’re just a bunch of woke pieces of sh*t.

That's cute, in several ways. On cable, the insult to Latinos was overshadowed by the image of Schumer describing himself and his Democratic colleagues as "just a bunch of woke pieces of shit." At no point did Edmondson's report capture the ugly, startling, transgressive quality of that part of the Truth Social post.

Meanwhile, sad! As presented by the Times, this bizarre incident comes very close to being transitioned into a piece of both-sides-adjacent "he said / they said" reporting. 

Briefly, let's be fair! In the end, there is never as objective way to assess how transgressive a post may be—how far, and how bizarrely far, the post in question may stray from traditional norms. 

It will always be a matter of judgment as to how transgressive—and how gratuitously insulting—a given presentation may be. It will always be a matter of judgment concerning the extent to which a presentation has entered the realm of extremely strange racial insult. 

In the end, those will always be matters of judgment. It's also true that this latest Truth Social post followed the other bizarre recent post in which the sitting president offered the crazy pledges about the magical "med beds."

As best we can tell, the New York Times has never reported that other extremely bizarre recent incident, and roughly a million more.

Is something "wrong" with President Trump? If so, that's a personal and a family tragedy, but it's also a danger for this nation. In our view, the New York Times is still doing its best to whistle along in the dark. 

In fairness, that approach has been general over Blue America and its "highly educated" journalistic and academic elites. In our view, they don't know how to talk about possible "mental illness" (or "mental disorder"), and so they don't want to try.

Borrowing from the early Dylan, the journalists "went to the finest schools." This seems to be all that's left.
