I struggle to think of a single way in which any NYT writer will be meaningfully impacted by a Trump presidency besides the mountains of cash they’ll get for their lazy uninspired orangeman puttering puppet thinkpieces

I think Trump's second win broke Bouie's brain. For years Bouie had soothed his soul with his take that Trump - in my words - got lucky. Bouie would never deign himself to use such a pedestrian phrase as "get lucky". But in effect that was his go-to take year after year. Trump won due to the Electoral College and if only a few dozen thousand votes in certain swing states went to Hillary - she would have won and he would have lost. Plus Bouie could sprinkle in some Trump bugbears libs love. Russia! James Comey! Etc!
Bouie and other lib NYT columnists will surely move to right during Trump's presidency. I'll be interested to see how fast and how far.
A liberal in 3 months, giddy at potential effect of the slaughter of 16 "suspected illegals" on Trump's approval ratings
In the US that makes approval rates go up
No president has had as consistent of an approval rating as Teflon Don. High of 45, low of 35. Not gonna make it above 55 or below 30 without a new war or something.
these bots never learn, he'll take everything away and the huwyts and their pets will clamor for him
I'm so glad I live in a country where the most popular candidate is "did not vote" because it means opinion polls matter
