The New York Times faced an overwhelming backlash from Democratic lawmakers and liberal members of the media over its front-page headline that may have been too favorable towards President Trump.

The Times print editor Tom Jolly previewed the front of Tuesday’s paper attempting to summarize the day’s events.
“As Chaos Spreads, Trump Vows to ‘End It Now,'” the top headline read with various images from the protests.
