Trump halts meeting with New York Times

Asked Monday on Fox News about whether the president-elect’s team would “have to work out where the business starts and the presidency starts”, Trump campaign manager Kellyanne Conway said there are “experts behind the scenes doing that”. Just wait until that number surges into the thousands or more, which is exactly what would happen if Trump’s most committed supporters felt permanently frozen out by the country’s political establishment. “The campaign was vicious”, Trump told the Times, adding that launching an investigation was “not something I feel very strongly about”.

Part of the hour-long meeting between the President-elect and the nation’s second-largest newspaper was spent discussing climate change. Even the potential news nugget that came out of the event was spoiled by Trump’s narcissistic spin-doctoring.

Fifty-nine percent think Trump’s arrangement doesn’t go far enough, while 39 percent thought it did, according to the survey released Tuesday. “I think there is some connectivity”, he said.

“Whether or not Trump acknowledges the connection between human pollution and climate change, the science is real”. “Some, something. It depends on how much”. “Quite honestly, Mr. Trump is not the president-elect”, said Polly Baca, an elector from Colorado, noting that Trump is not technically president-elect until the electoral votes have been compiled by the Electoral College. 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. “She went through a lot and suffered greatly in many different ways”.

There have been cases before of electors breaking from their state’s popular vote tallies before – so-called “faithless electors” – but they have been scattered and unorganized.

“Three thousand votes are all that separate Clinton and Trump in New Hampshire”. In fact, the White House Correspondents Association, the group that oversees the White House press corps, issued a public statement voicing their concerns after Trump did not take a pool of reporters with him when he met with President Obama at the White House on November 10, for their first meeting.

According to Grynbaum, Trump’s comments about the Times’ coverage of him lasted for about four minutes. “For these powerful people to be marched to the tower of Trump to get their heads cut off – figuratively speaking – is not the positive imagery they could have hoped for”. “I will say the Times is about the roughest of all”, he says of NYT’s coverage of his campaign.

Murphy said that the Times “was unaware that the meeting was cancelled until we saw the President-Elect’s tweet this morning”.

A front-page story in The Times on Tuesday questioned whether Trump’s business deals will test a provision of the Constitution that blocks office-holders from accepting certain gifts and profits from foreign governments.

The decision comes after months of Trump vowing to investigate his Democratic opponent, whom he nicknamed “Crooked Hillary”, while on the campaign trail.
