Former US President Donald Trump has eventually interpreted the non-endorsements from major newspapers which includes The Washington Post, USA Today and Los Angeles Times as a tacit endorsement of his Presidential campaign. According to CNN, Donald Trump asserted that the decision of not endorsing any Presidential candidate eventually reveals that these publications believe US Vice President Kamala Harris is totally unfit for office.
