I would tend to say yes, but the reporters and editors at the New York Times apparently do not agree, as Marcy Wheeler explains. Why the corporate media has this compulsion to translate his words from total gibberish and utterly depraved narcissism into coherent ideas that they imagine he is trying to express is a deep mystery. In fact, as Marcy demonstrates, they actually translate a lot of it into the exact opposite of the true content.
And no, sorry, I do not know why they do this. Maybe you can tell me.

The New York Times is part of the mainstream media. As you yourself once told me, Cervantes, the mainstream media is not here to sell news; they are here to sell advertisements. The New York Times exists to print what they believe is palatable, not what the truth is, in order to sell what is acceptable to people. The New York Times does not consider difficult truths to be "fit to print." The New York Times is part of the status quo; they are, and have been, ignorant in their reporting, constantly misquoting, misrepresenting, and printing false information in addition to the palatable truths that they accept to print.
The foundational racism of this society, and its incompetent and sometimes psychopathic so-called leaders, are not directly acknowledged by the New York Times. That would be counterproductive to selling their product.
