CNN's Chris Cuomo interviewing Donald Trump.
Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump clashed with CNN anchor Chris Cuomo during an unusual interview on Wednesday morning. During a lengthy exchange, Trump repeatedly trashed a CNN reporter covering his campaign, Sara Murray, as Cuomo defended her.
"I'm getting the biggest crowds by far," Trump said early in the interview. "Sara Murray didn't report it very well, because she never flips the camera to show the lines. I think she's absolutely terrible, your reporter."
Trump, who frequently attacks big-name media personalities, continued to drop insult after insult against Murray.
"You know she's a top-notch reporter," Cuomo told Trump, who insisted otherwise.
They soon moved to other confrontational topics. Cuomo defended the CNN-moderated Democratic primary debate from Trump's attacks. He asked Trump to clarify his financial support from his father, who helped jump-start Trump's real-estate empire. And Cuomo asked Trump why he so aggressively attacked his Republican rivals.
"But all you do is attack those who disagree with you," Cuomo said. "You can't do that on the world stage." He later added: "Here's the point: You cannot effectively think that you're going to ... be president by just attacking the opponents all the time. It has to be what you're going to do, what is positive, how you will do it."
Trump said he did, in fact, provide a positive vision of what he would do in the White House. The businessman then pivoted back to complaining about Murray for not broadcasting the size of the crowd at his Tuesday book-signing event at Trump Tower.

It's too bad Trump didn't ask Chris Cuomo to elaborate on his father's connections and influence and how little Chris no doubt benefited from them.
I’m reminded of the story (shortened):
A rusty-truck-driving flannel-shirt-wearing father wanted to buy an upscale car for his daughter. Car dealership salesmen wouldn’t talk to him - “you can’t afford these old man, try down the street.” A half hour and two phone calls later the billionaire bought the dealership and fired all the salesmen.
Trump could probably do the same. Better these reporters heed his advice to stop being stupid/biased and report facts, lest he make a couple calls and get them fired.
What about Chris Cuomo’s father and grand father...they were not the ‘stellar’ people in New York...
And the trial of Silver is starting this next week, and they were all in bed together...

Thanks for the link.
Trump has a lot of fight in him, he’s great.
“Cuomo brought up Trump’s father as a way of showing Trump’s success in a denigrating way?”
Never heard Frank Marshall Davis’ name mentioned when Obama was running.
I guess you can’t be president if you go around telling the truth and constantly advocating your point of view.
Thanks, I’ll add that to my list of movies yet to be seen...
“The entire bunch is deathly afraid of what Trump will do should if he is elected.”
I keep coming back to Cruz’s insights: they’re Bolsheviks, in the process of launching a “democratic centrism” [to wit: Communist] revolution. Hillary! or Sanders _MUST_ be elected to achieve their goals. Trump, the quintessential capitalist, will be he11-bent on stopping them and have the bully pulpit to do so.
LOL!!
Oooooh, poor baby. He really doesn't understand what he just said does he?
Ditto and BUMP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Trump is fearless.
Cuomo is a typical liberal - not an ounce of shame and incapable of recognizing hypocrisy.
Chris Cuomo - born on third - thinks he hit a triple...
But all you do is attack those who disagree with you,” Cuomo said.
The left can’t take what it dishes out how punk of them.
Proper response, "Are you sure about that? It has worked fantastically for the Iranians."
LOL - yeah - unlike Hillary who hires armies of detectives to sniff out any dirt she can find - then lets her surrogates leak it.
Leak it while she smiles the phony smile of the back stabber... Of course Chris Cuomo misses that truth because he's a world class fool....
When I was a kid in south central PA, there was a man who owned six or more farms, did big business in potatos and corn, and fed and marketed a lot of prime steers each year.
One summer morning he was overseeing the hauling of manure from one of the beef barns, when he remembered he and his family were leaving on vacation the next day and that he wanted to do it in a new car. So he headed for town, wearing his overalls and manure encrusted gumboots.
He walked into the Lincoln showroom, decided on a Lincoln sedan to buy, but none of the uppity loafer salesmen would even talk to him. Finally, the owner noticed the man standing outside his office door, asked if he could help him, and Mr. McP.... said, “Yes, I want THAT car, and I’ll write a check for the full amount. I need to drive it home.”
And the haughty, lazy “salesmen” missed out on a nice commission.
Trump understands the power of the media to control the “perceptions” of idiots. There are possibly over 70% of Americans who are virtually idiots-—who are completely controlled by any ideas that the vile MSM projects, no matter how big a lie-—like Jenner is a woman LOLOLOLOL
Vice/lies create slaves only. All “Just Laws” have to promote public virtue and TRUTH. MSM are a bunch of liars-—on purpose— and should be out of a job-—or in jail—for promoting lies.
Oh the hyporcirsy. It’s okay for the media to attack Trump 24/7 - but he isn’t allowed to say a negative word about anything or anyone. These pukes make me sick.
