NYT beclowns itself after criticizing Trump for rounding up from 37.4% to 'almost 40%'

We’re at the point where we don’t know if this is real criticism of President Trump or if it’s a parody account. Could the NYT really be on Trump for rounding up from 37.4%?

Trump: "China's trade with NK increased by almost 40%."

NYT: "ACTUALLY it was 37.4%." https://t.co/5exeOpqGyw

Answer: YES IT CAN!

Maybe he’s just rounding up the number you cite in the next paragraph? https://t.co/2D3hOPhfwV pic.twitter.com/MdUp9MyrsW

And it’s not really rounding as Trump did say “almost”:

It's not even really rounding; he said "almost."

Maybe it really is the “failing” New York Times?

@nytimes has a problem calling 37.4% "almost 40%." HAHAHA

And they wonder why America hates the media. https://t.co/r8VgBZdsY2
