Note that it looks like the copy writers changed the headline to “Trump Dares The Courts To Stop Him” for brevity, but this opinion appears on the front page with the headline I put in the title: https://kbin.melroy.org/media/fc/27/fc27e0c7624e758a8ba71e9891453b7539167b9139dd753602dd8016f5a5bfce.png You can also see the long headline at https://archive.today/2025.02.13-135321/https://www.nytimes.com/ .
I don’t understand why they did it either. Copy writers can advise, but the journalists should be in charge of the headlines, not them.
