Trump blasts “sleazy” Selina Scott
http://www.independent.co.uk/news/trump-blasts-sleazy-selina-scott-1591811.html

“Sunday 16 July 1995 23:02 BST
Selina Scott generally elicits more favourable reviews from the men she interviews. But yesterday saw the publication of a letter that even she would be hard pushed to describe as fan mail. The television personality is the subject of an extraordinary attack from the tycoon Donald Trump, following an interview with him shown on ITV last month.
The billionaire American property developer branded her “very sleazy”, “unattractive”, “obnoxious” and “boring” in letters to her and to King Constantine of Greece, said to have acted as a go-between.

In his letter to her, he wrote: “When the interview started you were somewhat obnoxious, repetitive and not at all very smart. I put this down to the fact that you must have been having a bad day. When you started asking me, off camera, whether or not I knew anyone who would take you out, I was surprised (but couldn’t care less).”

He added: “As most people know, you are not a first class reporter. The interview and questions were boring and foolish, but I nevertheless finished.”

He assumed she would return to London and do a “hatchet job” on him, he said. Instead, he said, he received a “pathetic” telephone call from her saying that the camera had not worked properly and asking for a re- interview. He added: “Selina, you have little talent and, from what I have seen, even fewer viewers. You are no longer ‘hot’; perhaps that is the curse of dishonesty. You would, obviously, go to any lengths to try to restore your faded image.” The row is something of a surprise after previous reports that Trump was “absolutely knocked sideways” by the interviewer when they met.”

The reason this article surface is because NBC News found an old link to it and has purchased the rights to the story including all the taped interviews and film archives.

They are not releasing their big story yet, but if Trump get the nomination this will be playing, along with other juicy tid bits, 24 hours a day.

If you think your're mad at me wait til you see what the MSM does with this when they think the time is right.
