The Editorial Board of the New York Times took a unique approach to sway voters ahead of the election. They directly quoted former President Donald Trump, highlighting his promises. The board, which has long opposed Trump's re-election bid, chose to point out alarming plans he's spoken about. They urged voters to "believe him" and take his words seriously.

Trump stated he would use the Justice Department to target his enemies. That should worry us. He also threatened to round up and deport millions of immigrants. If he said it, we should believe it. Furthermore, Trump talked about using the military against citizens and allowing vigilante violence. These aren't just empty threats. He also discussed retaliating against states by withholding disaster relief and deciding school funding based on ideology. Trump even suggested leaving U. S. allies behind.

The board emphasized that Trump's rallies consistently echo these promises. Many find his words too outrageous to be true, but the board warns us to see them as genuine threats. Imagine if all these plans came to life. Our culture, economy, security, and rule of law could be severely impacted.
