      Nate Silver Retweeted Dara Lind

      Yeah, it pretty much does. The several paragraphs that follow after "And he has an argument to make" imply that it's a savvy strategy.https://twitter.com/DLind/status/914697247098572800 …

      This does not say the tweets are a clever ploy, pace Silver. It says Trump THINKS the tweets are a clever ploy. Not the same! https://twitter.com/natesilver538/status/914691846038867968 …

      That's somewhat beside the point, though. The bigger problem is that it's taking the White House's spin at face value.

      Let's say Trump has a tantrum/meltdown. Hours later, his advisors call the NYT to insist it was actually a savvy strategy, not a meltdown.

      The NYT uncritically accepts the premise that Trump was acting calculatedly instead of rashly. I think that's a dangerous assumption.

      Literally, it's dangerous. Especially re: North Korea. Trump's emotional stability and mental fitness is the elephant in the room right now.

      That's hard to diagnose from afar. But if I had the NYT's access, that's THE story I'd be reporting out right now. Is POTUS fit for the job?

      The NYT has access to aides spinning things and every few months an interview - not easy to make a definitive piece abt fitness out of that

          Unless you want to make it just about external observations, in which case everyone could write that piece. But would be unconvincing.

          This'd really need an insider dishing things out on the record. Don't think we're there yet.
