[Tex/LaTex] eliminate indent from itemize starting from the second line

Question

I've seen many answers to the question of how not to indent the entries of a list with enumerate or itemize, but I couldn't find the answer to this other question: I want the first line to be as it is by default, but the rest of them aligned with the usual text. That is, if I use

[...] This is what I read in the New York Times: 
\begin{itemize}

\item Escalating his criticism of Hillary Clinton’s debate performances, 
Donald J. Trump came to a state battling a drug epidemic and suggested without 
any evidence on Saturday

\end{itemize}

I would get the second sentence "Donald J. Trump…" aligned at the same level of the item, but I want it to be aligned with the rest of the text which is outside the itemize environment.

Any help? Thanks

Maybe you're after the wide option of enumitem. Here are two variants:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[showframe]{geometry}%
 \usepackage{enumitem}

  \begin{document}

Text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text. %

[...] This is what I read in the New York Times:
\begin{itemize}[wide]

\item Escalating his criticism of Hillary Clinton’s debate performances,
Donald J. Trump came to a state battling a drug epidemic and suggested without
any evidence on Saturday

\end{itemize}
Unless your prefer this: %
\begin{itemize}[wide = 0pt]
\item Escalating his criticism of Hillary Clinton’s debate performances,
Donald J. Trump came to a state battling a drug epidemic and suggested without
any evidence on Saturday

\end{itemize}

\end{document}
