That's a tough one. As we all know, Trump engages in quite a bit of puffery. However, the NYTs engages in non-stop, 24/7, outrageous lies and propaganda. So, yeah. Tough call.

Judge gives go-ahead to lawsuit aimed at stopping Chicago Obama library


U.S. District Judge John Robert Blakey, who was nominated to the federal bench by Obama in 2014, ruled that Protect Our Parks has standing to sue the city because it represents taxpayers with concerns that providing land in Jackson Park to the Obama center violates their due process rights. The judge indicated that he doesn't want the litigation to drag on, and that he'll limit any fact-gathering before the trial to 45 days.

The proposed Jackson Park site is seven miles from downtown Chicago, is near low-income neighborhoods where Obama worked as a community organizer, and lies just blocks from the University of Chicago, where Obama was a law professor. It is also close to the home where the Obamas lived until he won the presidency in 2008.
