"Normalizing the abnormal is sadly normal for so much of the mainstream press. The NYT has done some terrific reporting and had some great opeds on Trump. But this framing, all too typical, is deeply dangerous. Imagine if Biden had given this kind of speech how they would’ve…."
~ Norman Ornstein quoted by Greg Dworkin
Ho quotes Charles Pierce, who calls New York times "a normalizing machine" for Trump.
And Mark Jacob:
"It’s remarkable how often a New York Times story will state the facts clearly and the story’s headline will twist itself in knots to avoid telling that same truth in a clear manner. I’m convinced that it’s an intentional tactic to avoid accusations of being slanted."
Jennifer Ho comments on a posting David Ho has made on Bluesky about how New York Times chose to treat Trump's crazed raving in his commencement address at West Point — a screenshot of Ho's commentary is below.
Ho states:
“People use the term 'sanewashing' and I think they're right. There's nothing normal about our time, and our President, and I think newspapers should report them accordingly.”

They're officers right?
They have sworn to protect and uphold the Constitution.
Already they should be considering whether disobeying anti-coup laws is more effective at this than letting this Presidency play out and having Trump rip the Constitution to pieces.

Trump admitted his #Fascist agenda, yet again, this time in a graduation address as West Point. For him to say that the goal of the USA is to "spread democracy to everybody in the world at the point of a gun" is a clear confession by him that: (1) he does not know the definition of the word "democracy," and (2) no country on earth is safe as long as he is president, because he literally just threatened the entire world.
Except: “The job of the U.S. armed forces is not to host drag shows, to transform foreign cultures, but to spread democracy to everybody around the world at the point of a gun,” the president said. “The military’s job is to dominate any foe and annihilate any threat to America anywhere, anytime, and anyplace.”

#Trump Unravels at #WestPoint: The Speech That Shocked His Own Inner Circle
Imagine dodging the draft 5 times on a made up illness and getting to give the graduation speech at #Westpoint?
Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) delivers a striking critique of Trump’s recent West Point speech, calling it chaotic and unfit for a leader. Her remarks question his presidential qualifications and call for a reassessment of his mental fitness. Would the country and military graduates feel inspired by such leadership? Insightful commentary on a pressing issue.

But Biden ;
“ On May 24, 2025, a notable tweet from MeidasTouch clarified a common misconception regarding former President Donald Trump’s commencement speech. The tweet pointed out that Trump did not give the commencement address at Ohio state University, as some might have believed. Instead, he delivered his speech at the University of Alabama, which sparked a considerable amount of discussion on social media platforms.”
#Maryland wins! Sorry #WestPoint. Better luck next time
"Tom Nichols, retired Prof at US Naval War College: “Trump has been actively trying to politicize the US military since his first campaign. Those cadets have been taught that this is inappropriate, but now the Commander-in-Chief is telling them that rules are for other people.”

Ron Filipkowski:
"the headline from the The Independent (UK):
… And the NYT sanewashing the speech for #Trump, very similar to many other legacy media headlines about it:"
👇
It’s fcking MIND-BOGGLING, that’s what it is. #WestPoint #IncoherentRamblingIdiot
That's what #Respect looks like! Unlike Trump, who basically raped the #WestPoint graduates ears and he left without shaking hands with the cadets, not a one after his ramblings www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...
''‘Doesn’t sound authoritarian at all’: Donald Trump’s mask slips as he demands military to make countries submit ‘at the point of a gun’
(. . .)
Wearing his signature 'Make America Great Again' hat—because apparently, nothing screams 'formal occasion' like campaign merch—Trump launched into a diatribe that managed to be tone-deaf, warmongering, and utterly devoid of self-awareness, all at once. Traditionally, commencement speeches are about inspiration. You talk about perseverance, camaraderie, the bright future ahead. Trump, however, treated the podium like a campaign rally.
Trump’s speech wasn’t so much a celebration of the cadets’ achievements as it was a laundry list of grievances. He lamented that the military had been 'abused' by ideological experiments, a thinly veiled jab at diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives. According to Trump, the military should focus on annihilating enemies—not on fostering inclusivity or adapting to modern social norms. Because, you know, nothing strikes fear into the hearts of America’s adversaries like a well-funded DEI program.
And then came Trump’s assertion that the military’s role is to spread democracy 'at the point of a gun.' Let’s pause here for a moment. The man who once cozied up to autocrats like Vladimir Putin and Kim Jong-un, who called neo-Nazis 'very fine people', is now the self-declared champion of democracy? It’s almost funny—until you remember that he’s serious."
Trump brags to #WestPoint grads he's "not cutting 10 cents" from the #Pentagon's budget, "a sprawling morass of waste and abuse that recently failed its 7th consecutive #audit" as Republicans gut #Medicaid.
Nothing if not brazen.
”…he [Trump] fails to tell the graduates that Levitt – like Trump’s father – was a notorious racist who worked hard to keep black Americans…out of his developments. … When a white family…sold their house to a black veteran and his family in Levittown, Pa., it made national headlines. Segregationists turned out in force to protest, and the KKK burned crosses on the lawns of neighbors who supported the family.”
