In Shift, Trump Says Humans May Be Causing Global Warming

Even though Trump aide Kellyanne Conway briefly talked to reporters about the meeting afterward, media participants were constrained from talking publicly about it. Trump added that he’s anxious about “how much it will cost our companies”, to combat what’s probably the biggest threat to humanity’s continued existence on this planet.

Trump announced he would meet the influential daily after all in an upbeat tweet saying, “Look forward to it!”

University of Southern California journalism professor Geoffrey Cowan told VOA that Trump is the first president-elect to use social media as effectively as he has. “He doesn’t. He thinks we are supposed to say what he says and that’s it”. She later founded a nonprofit called StudentsFirst.

Just exactly how to square his climate change open-mindedness with his promises to somehow revive the coal industry and deregulate fossil fuel production is not clear.

Mr Trump condemned an alt-right conference held in Washington at the weekend where some members performed a Hitler salute and yelled “Heil Trump!” after a speech about white nationalism.

From a policy perspective, Trump’s fourth change of heart during the Times interview is the least important – but it’s definitely the most hilarious.

During the campaign, Trump’s attorneys had threatened to sue the Times after it published stories quoting women who claimed that he had groped them. The newspaper didn’t immediately release a transcript.

“I think there is some connectivity”, told the Times newspaper.

Donald Trump faces criticism over potential conflicts of interest. “My company’s so unimportant to me relative to what I’m doing”, Trump said. “I’m looking at it very closely”. “Right now, they’re in love with me”, Trump says. Trump is “strongly considering” Ben Carson, who has expressed he is not interested in serving in a Trump White House.

While public sentiment may breakdown by party line, Weigel said voters may have also grouped journalists in with pollsters, who were famously wrong with their predictions in this election. “I had a great meeting with President Obama”, he said, according to reporter Maggie Haberman.

On Tuesday, Trump cancelled then rescheduled a meeting with the New York Times, firing off a fresh broadside over what he called “nasty” coverage by his hometown daily.

Does Trump think human activity is linked to climate change?

President-elect Donald Trump may be visiting with The New York Times after all. Jessica Leeds, a 74-year-old former businesswoman, told The New York Times that Trump groped her on a flight in the early 1980s as they sat next to each other in first class.

The visit included an on-the-record meeting at which Times staff was able to ask questions of Trump, as several Times reporters live-tweeted the proceedings. Trump said during the campaign that Clinton would “be in jail” if he were president, but the Federal Bureau of Investigation director has declared on two occasions there is no evidence warranting charges over her use of a private email account. “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’ve got a lot of good things to get done”.

“We were unaware that the meeting was cancelled until we saw the President Elect’s tweet this morning”, said Eileen Murphy, senior vice president of communications at the New York Times.
