Trump Fights Back
American Spectator ^ | April 15, 2020 | JEFFREY LORD

Posted on 04/15/2020 9:42:54 PM PDT by lasereye

It was May 2014.

I was interviewing then-private citizen Donald Trump for The American Spectator in his Trump Tower office. The subject in general was his view on issues of the day, along with a possible presidential run in 2016. But I had one question in particular that I wanted to ask.

The question: There were a lot of Republicans who felt their presidential nominees, the perpetual targets of the media, never fought back when attacked. Were he to run, not to mention were he elected, would he fight back?:

The press is extremely dishonest. Much of it. Some of it I have great respect for, and they’re great people and honorable people. But there’s a large segment of the press that’s more dishonest than anybody I’ve seen in business or anywhere else. And the one thing you have to do is you have to inform the public. The public has to know about the dishonesty of the press because they are really bad people and they don’t tell the truth and have no intention of telling the truth. And I know who they are and I would expose them 100 percent. And I will be doing that. I mean, as I go down the line, I enjoy exposing people for being frauds and, you know, I would be definitely doing that. I think it’s important to know. Because a lot of the public, they think, oh, they read it in the newspaper, and therefore it must be true. Well many of the things you read in the newspaper are absolutely false and really disgustingly false.

And right there is the key to the White House presidential briefing Monday night.

He spanked the jingoistic left wing members of the White House
press corps. He spanked them so hard that they will either become professionals or will be spanked yet again.

Yup. I watch as many of the daily briefings as I can just for the presser. When taking a question the Donald immediate understands the sub text and responds to the sneaky accusation or insult. I love how he crushes them.

Thank you for posting this. Spectator is a reliable source for good grammar, clear reasoning and a different perspective on the story du jour.
