I also get that he dislikes any media outlet that criticizes him for the statements he has made while campaigning for the Republican Party&#8217;s presidential nomination.<\/p>\n<p>But the Globe&#8217;s editorial page laid down the predicate for the bogus front page. There was no secret agenda involved here. The paper&#8217;s view of Trump is well-known. The editors of the Globe do not want the real estate mogul to become president. So, they engaged in a bit of satire to illustrate their point.<\/p>\n<p>In the highly unlikely event that Donald Trump ever were to be elected president, he would certainly face a torrent of criticism for the statements he would make and for the policies he would enact.
