Trump insists no conflict of interest with his business empire
Trump has not held a traditional news conference to talk about his priorities since his election on November 8. The meeting started out rocky, with Trump accusing the Times of being the “worst” media outlet in the way it covered his campaign.
President-elect Donald Trump costs the city of NY $1 million a day in police protection, according to several city officials, CNN reported on Monday – and those costs to his hometown may not drop anytime soon.
It’s safe to assume the hostilities between Trump and the Times will resume soon. Trump said that was “very unfair” given that no evidence is ever offered of Bannon’s supposed racism.
However, Trump tweeted that he is closing in on another Cabinet selection: His onetime presidential rival, retired neurosurgeon Ben Carson, as secretary of housing and urban development.
“I think it would be very very divisive for the country”, he said, referring to prosecuting Clinton or her husband, former President Bill Clinton.
For example, the Lincoln Tunnel was closed to traffic on Friday afternoon during rush hour when Trump traveled to New Jersey. – February 27 interview on Fox News.
“If you see something or you get something where you feel that I’m wrong, I’d love to hear it – you can call me”, Mr Trump said, according to a reporter’s tweet. “They’re going to have to come back”, Louden said. As uploaded by the law firm Morgan, Lewis and Bockius, the documents show Trump’s charity checking off boxes admitting that it had transferred “income or assets to a disqualified person” and that it had engaged in “self-dealing”.
Trump said on Twitter Tuesday: “Perhaps a new meeting will be set up with the @nytimes“.
But, he said, “under no circumstances would you let this become habit-forming”.
Eileen M. Murphy, the newspaper’s senior vice president for communications, said: “We did not change the ground rules at all and made no attempt to”. During the campaign, he vowed to “cancel” the US’s participation in the Paris climate agreement, stop all USA payments to United Nations programs aimed at fighting climate change and continued to cast serious doubt on the role man-made carbon dioxide emissions played in the planet’s warming and associated impacts.
More than newspapers, television networks are dependent upon the ratings boost that a presidential appearance can bring.
Trump has said he might have to build a fence, rather than a wall, in some areas of the U.S.
Journalists are trying to encourage Trump to hold an open news conference, which has been traditional for presidents-elect shortly after their victories.
Mr Trump was asked by the New York Times whether he stood by a threat, made to Mrs Clinton’s face in their second debate, to appoint a special prosecutor to investigate her.
The Associated Press reported on the content of Trump’s message but did not send the video to members of the news cooperative. And President Obama took advantage of social media frequently to communicate directly to the public. “They cover stories like you cover stories”.
Like much of Trump’s rapid ascent to becoming the leader of the free world, the meeting was an unprecedented break from political norms. Or he might just be a guy who knows his audience.
