Trump tweets that he canceled meeting with New York Times
On Monday, he met with television anchors and news industry executives and reporters in a session The Washington Post described as a contentious but generally respectful.Trump singled out reporting of his campaign by CNN and NBC that he considered to be unfair, the Post said, citing four participants at the meeting in NY.
Jeff Zucker arrives to meet with President-elect Donald Trump at Trump Tower on Monday. The man in the video is Richard Spencer, widely credited with creating the term alt-right.
Fully 84 percent of Clinton’s supporters say Trump’s goals for the country are not clear at all. “I feel that I want to focus on jobs, I want to focus on health care, I want to focus on the border and immigration and doing a really great immigration bill”. Last week, Trump took a meeting with three Indian businessmen who had worked with the president-elect on a Trump-branded property in Mumbai and were reportedly hoping to continue their working relationship once Trump was in office. Carson is expected to respond after the holiday.
Trump and other Republicans called for a special prosecutor in late August to investigate allegations that Clinton engaged in “pay-to-play” practices while serving as secretary of state, as well as to probe her use of a private email server. Spencer said Trump needs people like him “to actualize the populism that fueled his campaign”. “She went through a lot and suffered greatly in many different ways”.
I think it’s more likely that his response was an attempt at sidestepping the question.
Top Trump aide Kellyanne Conway told MSNBC that Trump no longer desires to see Hillary Clinton behind bars, despite his popular rally chant “lock her up”.
Still reeling from its failure to anticipate Donald Trump’s victory in the presidential election, the mainstream news media also finds itself scrambling to adjust to a new role – hauled onstage to serve as one of the main characters in the incoming administration’s public theater.
The newspaper reports its editorial staff members were prepared to speak with Trump mostly on-the-record, unlike the meeting he held Monday with television news outlets. A number of analyses have noted that Trump’s presidential effort was boosted by the news media’s fascination with him.
But the association has proven hard to shake, and grown even more so in the wake of the election as white supremacists publicly celebrate Trump’s presidential victory and the appointment of Steve Bannon, former head of Breitbart, a “platform for the alt-right”, as his chief strategist. Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton, for example, drew criticism when she left a September 11 memorial ceremony after falling ill without alerting pool reporters.
Conway’s comments were striking because Justice Department investigations are historically conducted without the influence or input of the White House. He has previously said that climate change was a hoax by the Chinese.
He repeated several times that he had an “open mind” on the US’s position as an worldwide leader in taking action against climate change.
“I don’t want to hurt them”, Trump said this month on CBS’ 60 Minutes.
Every president is required to have local law enforcement protection when they return home during their terms. “I don’t think he’s coming”, said one reporter grimly. “There’s never been a case like this”. The tax filing, first reported Tuesday by The Washington Post, didn’t provide details. But he defended his appointment of Bannon, whose links to the movement have drawn widespread criticism from Democrats.
