Did The NY Times fuck up, downplaying the severity and number of crimes committed by Trump?
We all know that Trump said he could shoot someone on Fifth Avenue and not lose any popularity. Since then, both the media and government institutions have done everything possible to demonstrate that this is true. He is always treated special, even after 34 felony convictions.
Today, The NY Times wrote this:
“Mr. Trump, the first American president to become a felon, faces up to four years in prison, though Justice Merchan is likely to impose a shorter sentence, or probation.”

And The NY Times understates what Trump — if he were treated like any other felon — would face by 132 years.
