Trump Media Summit a ‘Total Disaster’

“And because the paper decided that Trump’s supporters were a rabble of racist rednecks and homophobes, it didn’t have a clue about what was happening in the lives of the Americans who elected the new president”.

Conway told NPR that Trump would “comply with the law” and is consulting with “proper legal advisers”.

“Perhaps a new meeting will be set up with the @nytimes“.

Trump’s team tried to change the conditions of the meeting on Monday, asking that it be off the record, but the newspaper refused, said spokesperson Eileen Murphy.

According to the daily, 70-year-old Trump repeatedly used the words “unfair” and “dishonest” to describe the coverage during yesterday’s meeting in NY with television journalists and executives.

Trump is heading over to the Times’ headquarters now, press secretary Hope Hicks told CNNMoney around 9:45 a.m.

Trump started the meeting by saying how great it was for so many network news anchors to be there, calling it unprecedented and citing it as a reflection of the importance of his election.

But before long, both sides said the meeting was back on Tuesday.

“Trump didn’t say [NBC reporter] Katy Tur by name, but talked about an NBC female correspondent who got it wrong, then he referred to a frightful network correspondent who cried when Hillary lost who hosted a debate – which was Martha Raddatz who was also in the room”, the second source continued.

During the interview, Trump himself even alluded to using his new position on the global stage to persuade politicians to lobby on behalf of his business preferences.

The president-elect had a defiant relationship with mainstream media during his campaign, frequently barred specific news outlets from obtaining press credentials to cover his campaign rallies.

President Jeff Zucker, speaking Tuesday night at the Committee to Protect Journalists dinner in NY, encouraged members of the media to remember their primary role: bringing accountability to government.

Trump said he “can fully understand” why the Times has been getting those complaints but wondered why the paper would be so transparent about it.

Richard Spencer, a neo-Nazi leader who coined the term “alt-right”, opened a speech at the conference with the greeting: “Hail Trump, hail our people, hail victory!” Trump said that was “very unfair” given that no evidence is ever offered of Bannon’s supposed racism.

In a statement the publication said it became aware the meeting had been cancelled only when it read Trump’s tweet.

The adviser, Kellyanne Conway, spoke of “charges” against Hillary Clinton but referred specifically to Trump sending a message to members of Congress, not the Justice Department.

Also, Donald Trump expressed its desire in spending his “free” time in the lavish penthouse, when he is not staying at the White House.

Several hours later Mr Trump tweeted that he would meet with the Times and was “looking forward to it”.

The media in general “got it wrong”, and were “liars”, he also told the room, sources said.
