Trump Trolls the NY Slimes
Vanity | 11/23/2016 | Self

Posted on 11/23/2016 6:47:16 AM PST by CptnObvious

Enjoyed watching Trump troll the media. The NY Slimes apparently agreed on two meetings with Trump. One off the record, and one on the record. They backed off the 'off the record' and Trump called them on it with a Tweet canceling it and calling them "Not Nice". They must have called Him right back to capitulate otherwise I doubt Trump would have met with them yesterday.

LOL

He says during the during the meeting "I don't want to hurt the Clinton's" and the media takes this and other statements as that he won't prosecute Hillary. They fall into his trap and he says later that he won't get in the way of the current investigations proving the media is worthless.

The Mainstream Media sucks and hasn't learned its lesson.

I suspect that Trump is serious about not pursuing HRC further.

But you're right. The BSM is so disconnected from reality it's pathetic. It would be funny if it weren't so sad.

Hopefully he was giving them false hope on pulling out of the Paris accord

The thing that a lot of the press is not getting (or ignoring) is that Trump will have little to do with prosecuting Hillary. There is still an ongoing investigation by the FBI into the Clinton foundation. If they recommend the Attorney General prosecute, guess what? They will impanel a grand jury and start the process...

I believe Trump won’t push but it says nothing of the congressional investigations which Trump doesn’t control. Influence maybe, but not control.

I also think Trump is trolling Obama. He does not want her to pardon Hillary or spring any more climate change nonsense before he leaves.

There is nothing contradictory about “not wanting to hurt the Clintons” and prosecuting them.

I would not want to hurt someone who was threatinging by granddaughter. That would not stop me from doing what was necessary.

Trump, the master persuader!

As Newt Gingrich pointed out, Trump will have nothing to say about what his AG will do. The AG prosecutes who he or she wishes, The president has nothing to say about it.

My prediction, for what its worth, is that neither Obama nor Trump will get in the way of the investigations; both by the FBI and Congress. Neither will want her S*it on their pants.

Of course not, but he isn’t involved in investigations.

The NYT blamed Priebus for erroneously telling Trump terms had changed. I don’t know if this is true or not.

I actually agree with this, and I suspect it's Trump's strategy to avoid the appearance of pursuing a personal vendetta. Otherwise, how do you pursue it as president without looking like your Erdogan or some other third world dictator?

The issue for me is his failure to attempt to carry through on what he promised. I think it's reasonable to want a little honesty out of your president who was elected, in part, as the anti corruption president.

I don't feel a need to clutch my pearls yet, but I'm also not surprised. I never really thought he would be able to pursue a prosecution as president (though his AG could) without looking like a dictator, or causing the division in this country to get worse than it already is. Which is kind of a big deal, we are sitting on an even bigger powder keg than I think most of us realized right now.

Agree. Maybe he’s thinking the NYPD will be taking care of the Clinton’s, you know Rudy gets the G2 from them.

Failure? He's not even inaugurated. Give me a break.

Fair enough. I'll stand by my position that his comments are a departure from his campaign promise, but I'm not going to pre-judge him without giving him a chance.

I’m listening to the uppity times reporters who sat down with the President elect ....the females and effeminate male are talking about the sit down they had....the condescending attitude is so evident and disgusting. I have met many people in my life much like these uppity reporters, they are just brain dead all inclusive communists....just big government attitudes with the looking down their nose’s at those who don’t agree or in their eye’s can’t comprehend their outlook. Just subaru/prius driving and sickeningly self-rightous degree waving idiots. if they had to change a tire they would be at a loss...let alone park a bicycle straight. Their whole center is climate change or LGBQT....fags/dykes/and every other mentally tortured individual who imposes their view on the rest of a society. God they are a closed circle group devoid of actually knowing how to exist without riding the tax train in one way or another.
