The New York Post is a Rupert Murdoch paper. So is The Wall Street Journal, but that's in the conservative mainstream. The Post is on the other end of the spectrum, a right-wing muckraking tabloid. It's believed the Post has been Trump's favorite newspaper; if so -- not anymore!
The day after Trump's speech announcing his candidacy, the front page of the Post didn't cover it -- except for about a 1-inch banner at the very bottom of the page, saying "Florida Man Makes Announcement - page 26."
That's some pretty decent trolling. But if you turn to page 26, the complete article was less than a column, headed "Been there, Don that." The article, too, is brutal -- here it is in its entirety:
With just 720 days to go before the next election, a Florida retiree made the surprise announcement that he was running for president. In a move no political pundit saw coming, avid golfer Donald J. Trump kicked things off at Mar-a-Lago, his resort and classified-documents library. Trump, famous for gold-plated lobbies and for firing people on realtity television, will be 78 in 2024. If elected, Trump would tie Joe Biden as the oldest president to take office. His cholesterol levels are unknown, but his favorite food is a charred steak with ketchup. He has stated that his qualifications for office include being a “stable genius.” Trump also served as the 45th president.
