The People Don’t Trust You And The Media
Donald Trump ripped into CNN anchor Anderson Cooper on Wednesday, July 22, telling the award-winning TV journalist that “the people don’t trust you” – watch their on-air disagreement here.
Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump heavily criticized President Barack Obama in a CNN interview Wednesday for not immediately ordering the American flags to be lowered in the aftermath of the deadly Chattanooga attacks. “And I think one of the reasons”. “And I understand why”.
Without letting Cooper get in a word, Trump explained how the media’s coverage of him has changed since he entered the political arena. And I really want to not like it, but I begrudgingly do. “But I find that 60%, 70% of the political media is really, really dishonest”. “Why don’t you talk about positive polls?”
The real-estate mogul is on top of the GOP field in the latest Washington Post poll and came in second to Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker in a recent Monmouth University poll of Iowa voters.
“I don’t know. You keep bringing up negative”, he said.
The two continued to interrupt each other, as Trump told Cooper how unfair it was to be focus on the few surveys showing potential trouble for his campaign.
Trump: “You start off the interview with a poll I didn’t even know existed”.
“All I know is I have a very big group of support”, Trump said. “They’re not even a national poll”. It’s in three different states and you are hitting me with this. “It’s not even a poll”, Trump added. I think it is an extremely – you start off the interview with that. “You talk to me about a poll I have never even saw”. Trump, 69, said to Cooper, who brought up the Quinnipiac Poll.
