Trump to meet with top network execs, anchors Monday
Bloomberg, however, isn’t waiting for Trump to make up his mind.
Spokesman Hope Hicks told reporters gathered in Trump Tower on Tuesday morning that Trump was “going to The New York Times” later in the day.
Trump, who met with the newspaper’s publisher, editors and reporters in NY, said he thinks there is “some connection” between climate change and human activity but “it depends on how much”. “Pretty unprecedented meeting we put together in two days”.
The Republican – known to be an avid media consumer – said the newspaper had switched the terms at the last moment, adding: “Not nice”. “We’ll have to establish a new set of ground rules”. In the meantime they continue to cover me inaccurately and with a nasty tone! For example, the Lincoln Tunnel was closed to traffic on Friday afternoon during rush hour when Trump traveled to New Jersey.
Miller said that while members of the White House general counsel will become involved when Trump moves to 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, the transition team isn’t anxious about any of the President-elect’s meetings so far.
A New York Times spokeswoman said it had only learned the meeting had been cancelled when he tweeted. They tried to yesterday – asking for only a private meeting and no on-the-record segment, which we refused to agree to. “There will be a small, off the record meeting first, followed by an on the record session with Times reporters and editorial columnists”.
“Wolf, how was the meeting?” someone asked, and Blitzer ignored the question. There will also be an off-the-record session with the newspaper’s publisher. This protected pool then reports information about the President to other reporters outside of the pool.
Trump was joined by his newly appointed chief White House strategist, Stephen Bannon, his chief of staff, Reince Priebus, and his son-in-law, Jared Kushner, a top adviser.
One source said the meeting Monday at Trump Tower turned into a “f*cking firing squad”, as the president-elect lashed out at CNN and other media outlets he believed had unfairly covered his campaign.
Trump responded that he “can fully understand that”, but he wondered why the paper would announce that complaints were up.
On Monday evening, he invited leading figures from the American TV networks for an off-the-record briefing at Trump Tower, where they were subjected to a tirade about election reporting. I sat right to his left.
Donald Trump’s unadvertised meeting with Indian business partners, revealed over the weekend, raises new questions about what he’s actually disclosed about his foreign entanglements.
Blow encouraged Trump to see the show himself, but explained why Trump’s social media activity is cause for concern regardless of the policies he campaigned on.
One of the sources told the Post that Trump took aim specifically at CNN President Jeff Zucker.
He said the transition team “is working very smoothly, efficiently and effectively” and meeting with “patriots” “many of whom will soon be a part of our government”.
“I think it would be very very divisive for the country”, he said, referring to prosecuting Clinton or her husband, former President Bill Clinton. Pursuing investigations into Hillary Clinton Trump repeatedly told his supporters that he would “lock her up” if elected president, a reference to Clinton’s use of a personal email server as secretary of state.
Trump said in that interview that Clinton “did some bad things”, but ultimately the Clintons are “good people” and “I don’t want to hurt them”.
