He probably, very calmly and politely, told them all exactly what he thought of them....

The MSN cannot tell the difference between the "Art of the Deal" and the Fart of the Bran....

Hope THE DONALD keeps feeding the MSM-types plenty of truth laxatives.

I’m thinking he recorded the meeting. When they’re way on on the limb, he’ll saw it off.

ABC Radio said Trump “demanded” an apology from the Hamilton theater group.

That did not sound like something Trump would do, it would a a weak statement to make, not in character.

So I looked up his Tweet.

It said the Hamilton theater group should issue an apology.

ABC Radio purposely distorted the news.

Disgusting.

The MSM is making flat out making up the news.

But did he microaggress them? Did he respect their safe spaces. I hope he had the sensitivity to make sure everyone received a participation trophy.

“By the way it’s an off the record meeting so whoever said that and mischaracterized it should think twice,” she continued.

Did she really think what was said there would remain secret, off the record or not?

TRUMP has exercised more restraint than many of us could
have done in the same position.

Election night, “reporters” were really apoplectic; kept
refusing to call states for TRUMP; sitting around bawling
& lamenting that Clinton didn’t win. REFUSED TO FACE FACTS.

He used his `Dad voice’ so they went running to Mom: “Dad yelled at me!”

Have to agree.

He needs to start doing interviews with reporters from outside the beltway like Des Moines, Atlanta, etc.

It may help, but lots of time the local news stations just parrot whatever news service (network or AP) they use. For example, just now the local ABC news outlet here in ABQ had a story how there are concerns with a conflict of interest between Trump's presidency and his business interests. One expert was an Obama "ethics" appointee who said Trump may break the law. Of course during the entire past campaign there was nary a peep by the MSM of Hillary's blatant conflict of interest with the Clinton Crime Foundation and how it enhanced the Clinton's personal bank accounts.

Grrr...

We know that!

It was the lying collusive biased media who "Exploded in anger". Those AH's wanted to talk about what kind of access they were going to have with the Trump Administration!

You knew this would happen. They always project. So the instant they said they were cracking down on “fake news”, they were telling us in so many words they would be reporting fake news.

Their lies have become so predictable and transparent, a child could see right through them.

The MSM is in its death throes and doesn’t know it.

That is exactly why Trump uses social media in forms of tweets and facebook. The media lies or to put it politely, exaggerates the facts to suit their complete bias leftist agenda! ;)

Sounds like someone in the press, after agreeing to the meeting being “off the record” and therefore confidential, commenced to make up yet another lie about The Donald. Hope his staff can find out who it was and ensure he/she attends no White House briefings …

Sure, but if he gives interviews to the local reporters, they will file it onto the AP and Meygan Kelly will have to quote from the local reporter's story.

If he is rolling back coal regulations, for example, why not get some West Virginia reporters to interview him? It actually shows West Virginia respect that he would involve them.
