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.

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.
