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.

Are you the black chick that won in Kentucky?
If so, can I marry you?
Lo and Behold, Trump criticizes CNN.
Good!
Methinks Trump has learned, or inherently knows, Alinski’s rules.
They CAN be effective used by us. Just need cojones.
Yes, before her later report that ignored/slanted the crowds who turned out for his book signing.
“Cuomo is a Rented Mule. Beat him mercilessly.”
I agree, but am concerned about aspersions cast on rented mules by comparing them to Cuomo.
I think AVIS(, et. al. ) is now out of the rented mule bidness.

That's it? She didn't show the lines of people waiting to get in to a book signing? He's attacking her not because she said something nasty about him, but because she didn't report the story in a way that he wanted the story reported, and in a way that would have promoted his campaign?
Yeah, THAT's the kind of guy I want to see as President. (/sarc)
Who was the other one telling Trump that? Pelley? How can anyone who's never done the job say that to anyone else? Happens to me almost all the time.
I love it. Trump got right into CNN’s face. Hehehehe
Look his last name, that’s how >>>>>
No, IMO, he slammed her because she was up to the usual media tactic of slanting the news - in this case, showing tight shots of his book signing rather than a wide angle of the crowd. Had she shown that as well, instead of trying to minimize the size of the turnout, it would have been OK.
I'm sure you are aware of this tactic, which rightly came under fire.
Delightful story.
It's obvious that Trumped learned some valuable lessons at the military academy he attended.
I'm still in Ted's camp, but Trump is #2.
It was a book signing, not a campaign rally. Have you seen coverage of book signings held by other politicians (or celebrities, for that matter)? They're typically always covered with relatively tight angles, because the structure of the events are not really conducive to wide-angle shots. Trump's event was covered like any similar event would have been, but that wasn't enough for him. Trump wanted CNN to promote his YUUUUGE crowds, and is complaining like a petulant child because they didn't do it.
“But all you do is attack those who disagree with you,” Cuomo said.
Bull...
Trump attacks people that attack his character, or lies, or is dishonest....
If someone has an honest interview and doesn’t attach Trump personally, then the interview goes very well.
Case in point:
- Donald Trump with Hannity is good.
- Donald Trump appeared on The Herd with Colin Cowherd
But the debate with CNBC was a joke! And so are many other interviews. The interview with Anderson Cooper is classic. Cooper tried to pull a fast one on Trump, and right then Trump called Cooper a liar, and said this is why the people don’t trust the media anymore.
Top notch reporter = Exceptional liar
