In this election, USA Today has emerged from the neutral zone of not endorsing a presidential candidate in its 34-year history to declare Donald Trump a “serial liar” who “traffics in prejudice” and is “unfit for the presidency.”

It did not officially endorse Hillary Clinton, but admonished readers not to “resist the siren song of a dangerous demagogue [Trump].”

The Atlantic, a Washington-based monthly American magazine, labelled Trump as "a demagogue, a xenophobe, a sexist, a know-nothing, and a liar".The Atlantic's editors encouraged their readers to "act in defense of American democracy and elect his opponent."

The Atlantic has endorsed Hillary Clinton for President of the United States, marking just the third time in the magazine's 160-year history that it has made a presidential endorsement.

USA Today and The Atlantic are among 200 newspapers in America which launched scathing attacks on Republican nominee Donald Trump.

If all negative words used by American media to portray Trump are put together, the Republican presidential nominee may appear as the worst politician in the present world.

USA Today ticked off, mercilessly, in boldface, its objections to Trump: He is erratic. He is ill-equipped to be commander in chief. He traffics in prejudice. His business career is checkered. He isn't leveling with the American people. He speaks recklessly. He has coarsened the national dialogue. He's a serial liar.

The Cincinnati Enquirer of Ohio has been supporting Republican presidential nominee for around one hundred years. But this time, its editorial board denounced Republican nominee, Trump.

"Trump brands himself as an outsider untainted by special interests, but we see a man utterly corrupted by self-interest. His narcissistic bid for the presidency is more about making himself great than America," said the editorial board of Enquirer.

"Trump tears our country and many of its people down with his words so that he can build himself up. What else are we left to believe about a man who tells the American public that he alone can fix what ails us?"

The New York Times explained why Trump should not be president. "Donald Trump is a man who dwells in bigotry, bluster and false promises," said editorial board of NYT.

Trump, who has no experience in national security, declares that he has a plan to soundly defeat the Islamic State militants in Syria, but won’t reveal it, bobbing and weaving about whether he would commit ground troops, said the NYT. "Voters cannot judge whether he has any idea what he’s talking about without an outline of his plan, yet Mr. Trump ludicrously insists he must not tip off the enemy."

About Trump's campaign pledge of a “total and complete shutdown” of Muslim newcomers plus the deportation of 11 million undocumented immigrants across a border wall paid for by Mexico, the New York Times said this has been subjected to endless qualifications as he zigs and zags in pursuit of middle-ground voters.

"Whatever his gyrations, Mr. Trump always does make clear where his heart lies — with the anti-immigrant, nativist and racist signals that he scurrilously employed to build his base," said NYT that endorsed Hillary for presidency.

The Washington Post labels Trump as a unique threat to American democracy.

"Trump’s politics of denigration and division could strain the bonds that have held a diverse nation together. His contempt for constitutional norms might reveal the nation’s two-century-old experiment in checks and balances to be more fragile than we knew," said editorial board of the Post.

The usually Republican-leaning Houston Chronicle in Texas denounced Trump and declined to endorse him. "His erratic temperament, his dodgy business practices, his racism, his Putin-like strongman inclinations and faux-populist demagoguery, his contempt for the rule of law, his ignorance — is enough to be disqualifying,” the Houston Chronicle said of Trump.

The Daily News, a New York-based tabloid has run an editorial titled: "NEWS TO AMERICA: BURY TRUMP IN A LANDSLIDE. Restore US honor with giant defeat of the fearmongering demagogue.”

Its editorial, which clocks in at more than 7,900 words, might be the most scathing attack on Trump from any newspaper in the country.

The editorial offers a point-by-point takedown of Trump across 14 chapters that question his policy positions, his business record, his fitness to serve and even his sanity: “TRUMP THE DEMAGOGUE,” “TRUMP THE FRAUDSTER,” “TRUMP THE HEAD CASE,” “TRUMP THE FAKE PHILANTHROPIST,” “TRUMP THE LIAR,” “TRUMP THE FLIP-FLOPPER,” “TRUMP THE IGNORAMUS,” “TRUMP THE CONSPIRACY THEORIST,” “TRUMP THE TAX EVADER,” “TRUMP THE DIVIDER,” “TRUMP THE AUTHORITARIAN,” “TRUMP THE SECURITY RISK,” “TRUMP THE MISOGYNIST” and, finally, “TRUMP THE ENEMY OF DEMOCRACY.”

HOW FOREIGN MEDIA BLASTED TRUMP

In his election campaign, Trump has dedicated much of his campaign to talking about Mexico. He has alleged that many undocumented immigrants from Mexico are “rapists” who “are bringing drugs” to the United States.

In response, Mexican media blasted Trump. Mexico City newspaper Milenio asked readers and analysts what should be done about “the man who managed to make us miss the Bush clan.”

El Deforma, a satirical news site, has devoted a fair amount of its Trump coverage to mocking the candidate’s claims that he will build a wall between the US and Mexico.

South Africa’s the New Age called Trump “arguably the most successful internet troll in today’s political spectrum,” noting that much of his social media commentary “reads like a laundry list of troll tactics.”

The Daily Maverick, another newspaper of South Africa, has published a variety of other pieces on Trump, including ones calling him the “dark side of American Populism.”

Canadian newspaper Toronto Star has published a number of articles on Trump, including ones that called him a “historically unpopular” candidate, described Trump’s rallies as a “testosterone rage,” and noted that Trump is actually “an epic illusion.”

German media has also expressed a lot of surprise at Trump’s presidential candidacy.

According to Think Progress, an American political news blog, conservative newspaper Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung had perhaps the best description of Trump. “If a communist propaganda ministry had commissioned a gifted cartoonist to draw a typically-American rogue, he would have invented a figure like ‘The Donald.’
