“This thing happened” is news, so “Trump said this” is news.

“You should have this reaction to it” is for the opinion pages, even if that reaction is “you should believe him”.

That isn’t to say the Times doesn’t try to get away with pushing a narrative while technically following the rules, but that rule is still a good one.

It is also rephrasing what he said, not using his direct words. There is opinion involved in such things.
