A few weeks ago I told him that he needed to use the word "corruption" in his article about Trump's corruption where instead he kept mentioning what things cost. I guess I touched a nerve. He blocked me. And I wasn't even rude. Haha.

It was this article.

Trump Family’s Cash Registers Ring as Financial Meltdown Plays Out

The party was on at a Saudi-backed LIV Golf tournament at the president’s Doral resort in Florida and a fund-raiser at Mar-a-Lago, even as markets tumbled.

Instead of doing actual reportage - Lipton took notes like a stenographer including using dollar signs

Every room at the 643-room Trump Doral, including the $13,000-a-night presidential suite, was sold out through the weekend. Not a seat could be found at the BLT Prime steakhouse bar, where a porterhouse steak cost $130.

[...]

By Friday night, the center of attention had shifted back to Mar-a-Lago, as Mr. Trump held another in a series of $1 million-a-head dinners at his private club in Palm Beach.

[...]

Roughly 20 people gather around a candlelit table with big white flowers in the club’s “White and Gold Room” after a photo session. Mr. Trump speaks, then listens to the guests discuss their businesses, one by one. In just an hour or two, he can raise as much as $20 million — a great return on his time investment, associates say.

And Lipton is not some celeb reporter. Money, power, and Trump are the focus of his NYT beat. Just don't ask him to say "corruption".

I focus on powerful people and the influence they have over American society and the world. In recent years, I have written about the Trump family and its international business operations.
