Opinion | Trump and the Attack of the Invisible Anarchists – The New York Times

On Thursday morning I walked across much of Manhattan and back again. (Why are all the doctors offices on the East Side?) It was a beautiful day, and the city looked cheerful: Shops were open, people were drinking coffee in the sidewalk seating areas that have proliferated during the pandemic, Central Park was full of joggers and cyclists.

But I must have been imagining all that, because Donald Trump assures me that New York is beset by anarchy, violence and destruction.

With only two months left in the presidential campaign, Trump has evidently decided that he can neither run on his own record nor effectively attack Joe Biden. Instead, he s running against anarchists who, he insists, secretly rule the Democratic Party and are laying waste to America s cities.
