NYT: "Anonymous Source" Told Us Trump Wanted to Make Kasich De Facto President

The New York Times, the paper best known for using an "anonymous source" to hoax the US into the war in Iraq by claiming Saddam had WMDs, is out with another whopper.

This time, they're claiming Donald Trump wanted to make competitive eater John Kasich -- who won't even endorse him despite previously pledging to do so -- the de facto president!

Propagandist Robert Draper writes in the NY Times:

One day this past May, Donald Trump’s eldest son, Donald Trump Jr., reached out to a senior adviser to Gov. John Kasich of Ohio, who left the presidential race just a few weeks before. As a candidate, Kasich declared in March that Trump was “really not prepared to be president of the United States,” and the following month he took the highly unusual step of coordinating with his rival Senator Ted Cruz in an effort to deny Trump the nomination. But according to the Kasich adviser (who spoke only under the condition that he not be named), Donald Jr. wanted to make him an offer nonetheless: Did he have any interest in being the most powerful vice president in history?

When Kasich’s adviser asked how this would be the case, Donald Jr. explained that his father’s vice president would be in charge of domestic and foreign policy.

Then what, the adviser asked, would Trump be in charge of?

“Making America great again” was the casual reply.

First off, everyone knows Cheney and the Neocons were running the Bush administration, it'd be impossible for anyone to give the VP more power than Bush did. Second, there is literally no way in hell this ever happened.

Robert Draper: A birdie told him Trump wanted to make some random hobo president.
Trump said the report is nonsense:

John Kasich was never asked by me to be V.P. Just arrived in Cleveland - will be a great two days!

All this goes to show is the Times' recent propaganda stunt claiming they were going to be "tightening the screws" on their use of anonymous sources after getting hoaxed repeatedly was nothing but a big fat lie to pacify their readers.

These propagandists are desperate to take down Trump and will run with total lies to try and diminish his character.
