New York Daily News Front Cover: Trump Takes Nation To Pathetic New Low

[napkinz]

In his 13 months of campaigning, Donald Trump has sullied the making of a President with lies, bullying, ignorance, demagoguery and more.

He generated shock at his willingness to be ever more outrageous, amazement that he had won support, wonder over whether he could ever do something so offensive as to be toxic, and fury at amoral words and actions.

Now, there is only sorrow at the depths to which Trump has plunged U.S. democracy — and taken with him elected leaders who have always before respected country and self.

Trump’s attack on the parents of a Muslim soldier who gave his life to save comrades-in-arms breaks the heart because he has made fair-game of two nation-loving citizen immigrants whose son heroically gave his life for country — and because Republicans have held firm to Trump’s suitability for the presidency.

2. They've really knocked it out of the park this election season.

So many of their covers have been instant classics.

28. I never thought I could like a tabloid-- but these guys are fantastic!!

[Gothmog]

3. Great front page

[RapSoDee]

4. #ComradeTrump & his Republican party are desecrating America

...and grossly embarassing themselves and America as well.

[niyad]

5. spot on

[pangaia]

6. I only disagree with this....

"...... and taken with him elected leaders who have always before respected country and self."

The ones who have not totally denounced him and said they would campaign and vote against him have NOT respected country and self. They have no self-respect and no respect for the country whatsoever.

[Takket]

7. can't believe this guy is still polling over 40%....

I mean, if there was ever one line I never expected any candidate to dare to cross, and survive, it would be insulting the troops. And yet here he is trashing fallen soldiers and still "on the map". Scary. i'll be interested to see what polls look like in a week or two after this Khan trashing has had some time to be digested by voters.

[LiberalLovinLug]

18. It's because the hatred built against Hillary

I am continually just gobsmacked at the power of "catapulting the propaganda" with consistent relentless lies on a "news" TV network and most all daytime hate talk radio over the last two decades.

For too many of them it has become a choice between a brazen incompetent fool and the Antichrist. For some of them quite literally. A simple "best of two evils" decision.

[Homer Wells]

21. I am far from a religion oriented person, however

From all I have read concerning Biblical prophesy, The Trumpeter, fits many of the criteria of the true Anti Christ.
Just sayin'

23. yesterday he called Hillary the devil

41. Yes and no - it reflects the polarized nature of the electorate

Though not as extreme, in 2002, it looked like NJ Democrats would be faced with the dilemma of voting for someone already seen as corrupt. Toricelli was our candidate and the Republican was pretty conservative and the Senate was at risk.

I already knew that no matter what else came out, I would vote for Toricelli even though it would be with great disgust. Fortunately, the party got him to resign and the wonderful ex Senator Lautenberg replaced him.

You may have noticed that the saner Republicans spoke of the Supreme Court as a reason why they had to win. The question is how many of the solid Republican base will either not vote or not vote for Trump. He is far worse than Toricelli was and he would be President, not Senator. I suspect there are many Republicans already in the place I was in 2002.

Getting 40 percent would mean a landslide for Clinton and may be as low as things realistically end up with a normal opponent. The question will be how many Republicans realize that he is not a normal choice.

20. I know-- either he's terribly popular or the polls are suspect

I know we have weird people in this country (i.e., trump lovers) but I can't believe there are so many of them.

We'll have to wait and see-- but already there are encouraging signs.

[get the red out]

26. I believe there are a lot

And a lot of people who have been programmed to despise Hillary Clinton for YEARS by right wing media.

[ailsagirl]

27. I don't know if this is very scientific or even likely but

Obama won twice (without cheating! what a concept). I think that the people who voted for Obama will vote for Hillary-- they wouldn't vote for dumdum. Those who voted for Nitt will probably mostly vote for dumdum, but even that's debatable because Nitt has been warning people OFF voting for DT.

But... who knows? I can't make heads or tails of a lot of the polls-- and we have three months still. Yikes

Anyway, get the red out, I hope you are wrong.

Cheers!

[get the red out]

40. I don't think he will win

I think Hillary will take it in a landslide, any state that hasn't lost their minds to the 'baggers will go for her. I am a Kentuckian, so I see lots of people who have lost their minds to either the 'baggers or their RW Churches (the educated members of the religion group are the people who act as apologists for the extreme crazies and try to reword things in polite conversations). But there are enough 'bagger nuts for me to not dare put a political bumper sticker on my car.

So yes, there are a lot of Trump or bust people, but not enough in saner states to make him president.

[ailsagirl]

43. I think you're right

And, tho' I live in California, I, too, am forgoing a bumper sticker. I think it's best.

13. He's giving them the fodder and they are knocking it out of the park.

Go Daily News!

[lark]

14. OMG, how the worm has turned.

I've actually become a reluctant fan of the before rancid Post. Today, they hit a home run, out of the park, with an awesome, true cover and equally sad and biting column. Drumpf is truly a disgrace to our country and it's so sad that we have such stupid people that actually are OK with having him be president. Look what the repugs have done, they have elevated ignorance to the point where it could destroy our union, and they are OK with that as long as they get to select the next SCOTUS. They have no morals, no caring, no empathy, all is just pure self-centered efforts for power and money. So disgusting.

[freebrew]

15. Just one thing...

where was the New York Daily News when * & Co. was doing nearly the same thing...??


Otherwise...good job.

[calimary]

29. Mighty good question.

Can be applied to a whole bunch of different situations happening now.

My personal new favorite: Mr. Khan, in his anguish over his son, has said in interviews several times by now - that Donald Trump has no empathy. And Khan specifically stated that a President NEEDS that empathy, that compassion, to be a good leader.

Anybody remember how dick "the war criminal" cheney sneered openly and publicly at the idea of empathy? Sneered, jeered, and scoffed. Thought it was stupid and useless and shameful and a sure sign of weakness. Curled his lip even harder than usual when he even spoke the word. And everybody played right along, and raised no objections. The BASTARD.

I think Mr. Khan is RIGHT.

[freebrew]

37. I remember that...

and to this day cannot understand how ANYONE can vote R.

[closeupready]

16. I enjoyed his reality show but he's lost his mind

attacking a Gold Star mother. She could be hard core Communist and it wouldn't matter to even the most rabid Republican . I don't see him recovering from this.

[nolabear]

17. You know what? I'm finally beginning to think he can't possibly win.

I cannot recall EVER hearing a candidate who has been justifiably vilified the way this godawful excuse for a human being.

[Scurrilous]

19. K & R

[63splitwindow]

22. Good for them. Not enough derision in the world to over do what Don the Con has earned.

[AlbertCat]

24. Let us remember....

..... it is actually the GOP, and not just Trump, who has taken the USA to a whole new low. He wouldn't be where he is without the GOP and its absurd behavior and messages for the last decade or 2.

[NoMoreRepugs]

25. I hope this Drumpf attack is repeated again and again in HRC and SuperPac ads up to

the day of the election - because it's going to require some heavy duty hammering to the head to move some of the undecideds - lesser of two evil thing ya know.....

[mgardener]

30. His attacks

On the Khan family are vile and dispicable.
But, his fascination with Putin, his lies about his knowing/ not knowing, meeting/not meeting with Putin, his lack of knowledge about Crimea and world affairs scare me more. I want to see his tax returns.
He is not fit to be POTUS of US.
And the crazies still support him. I don't think he has finished lying to the people.

[amuse bouche]

31. Amazing cover. Shame on the vile GOP

[TonyPDX]

32. Trump proves that rock bottom still has a little "give" to it. n/t

[SpankMe]

33. What's stunning about this is...

...that Trump still continues to hold nearly unanimous support of the Republican base, he's generally polling within the margin of error against Hillary nationally - even with behavior so abhorrent and disqualifying that it should/would have knocked him out long ago.

Truth be told, I'm more afraid of Trump voters and supporters than I am of a Trump presidency.

[ffr]

34. Far worse, are all the RW followers who back him up on this

They HATE the Khan's, regardless of their son's heroic sacrifice. Drumpf's supporters are just as unhinged as he is.

[War Pigs]

35. drumpf can forget this veteran's vote unless he can find

a medal honor recipient or family to insult. he told me everything would be the biggest and best. sad

[kskiska]

36. I'm glad no one took the NY Post bait

with Melania's nude photos. It was barely mentioned on TV - an obvious effort to distract everyone from the Khan story.

[lindysalsagal]

38. Glad some media are taking sides. No excuse for this.

The gulf between red and blue is feeling like Irish vs english: catholic|protestant.

If fRump can't wake up the reds, nothing ever will.

39. They're really after his ass. nt

42. Poor mistreated Donald...

Yesterday:

“No matter how good I do on something, they’ll never write good. I mean, they don’t write good. They have people over there like Maggie Haberman and others, they don’t write good. They don’t know how to write good, and I guess if they did, they’re certainly not doing it.” - Wharton's pride, Donald Trump
