But Biden Is Old, And That’s New(s)

“Truly unhinged stuff: Presumptive Republican nominee says he’ll encourage Russia to attack our allies triggering a world war if they don’t 'pay' (never mind that Europe is paying more than the US for Ukraine now)," he wrote. "This should be front page, top of broadcast, news." 
Former GOP communications director Tara Setmayer directed her message directly to the New York Times. 
"Hey [Times] Where's your headline about Trump abandoning NATO and encouraging Russia to attack our allies in Europe?" she asked Saturday. "'In fact I would encourage them to do whatever the hell they want...' Openly encouraging our enemy to attack our allies gets a shrug... But Biden is old so.." 
New Yorker staff writer Susan Glasser on Saturday gave her view as someone who covers the ex-president. 
"Trump watcher perspective here: He's getting even more brazen. Even by Trump's standards, this is breathtaking."

To be honest, this is not new. Trump made these noises during his presidency (and in 2016, IIRC). It was the seed for why MAGA loves Putin.

I think at this point he would have to shoot someone on 5th Avenue at high noon to get any attention. Even then the headline would be: “Trump Returns To Manhattan”.
