Donald Trump to Anderson Cooper: 'The people don't trust you'
Business Insider ^ | 07/23/2015 | Colin Campbell

Posted on 07/23/2015 8:26:30 AM PDT by SeekAndFind

Real-estate magnate Donald Trump had another combative interview on Wednesday.

At one point in his wide-ranging discussion with CNN anchor Anderson Cooper, Trump interrupted him to castigate Cooper and the political media in general for being unfair.

"Let me tell you, the people don't trust you, and the people don't trust the media. And I understand why," he said. "Some of the political media is great and really honest. Even if they don't want to be, they're really honest. But I find that 60%, 70% of the political media is really, really dishonest."

Trump was reacting to Cooper asking questions about his negative poll numbers in specific states. The real-estate mogul told Cooper that he should instead be asking about the national polls that show him leading the Republican presidential primary.

"I don't know. You keep bringing up negative," he said. "Why don't you talk about positive polls?"

"I did!" Cooper interjected.

The two continued to interrupt each other, as Trump told Cooper how unfair it was to be focus on the few surveys showing potential trouble for his campaign. Cooper repeatedly insisted that he actually had asked about the positive polls that Trump said he hadn't mentioned.

"You started off the interview with a poll that I didn't even know existed," he said, as Cooper tried to jump back into the discussion. "All I know is every poll I'm leading in. And you give me these two polls where it's different states. They're not even a national poll.

Right or wrong, love him or hate him. One think can't be denied. Trump is a street fighter and he is taking the fight to the Obama, the media, and RINO squishes...

Trump should have asked Cooper why he puts other men’s sex organs in his mouth and anus and vice versa.

Didn’t Anderson himself popularize the degrading term of ‘Tea-Baggers’ to descibe members of the Tea Party?
Let’s not even discuss his New Years Eve burlesque show with
Kathy (La Skank) Griffin.

Politicians are all controlled by lobbyists. They lie and pander to voters and then do what the big money donors and lobbyists want them to do

Trump is not a politician but a very successful billionaire businessman.

Trump is pro American and wants to save this country .

he's not desperate for money as all of these politicians are

Only Trump figured out that illegals and China are the top 2 main problems hurting America. the other politicians instead voted and pushed for the Obama trade agenda that also deceptively contains amnesty and massive immigration of 3rd world workers to take the jobs of Americans (”trade in services” would allow the importation of millions of 3rd world workers from any occupation into the USA).

Only Trump can save America. I had lost all hope as politicians for the last 120 years have ruined the U.S. . Now my only hope is that Trump wins. The news media will try to palinize Trump to get him to quit or go 3rd party. the news media want Jeb Bush vs Hillary and Hillary to win. the Media imposed Obama on us. don't let the media win again.

Trump schooling Anderson cooper

Conservatives want a tough candidate that will stand up to the left and the media, but then you have some have a meltdown when they get one.

Go figure!

It’s not just Anderson and CNN. The people don’t trust any of the Establishment media. And with good reason.

Potential nominee for quote of the week.

Trump was nice. He said 60 to 70 percent of the media was dishonest. We all know its at least 85%

>>>We all know its at least 85%<<<

I think it’s actually 88.735% of the Political Media, but my Number could be off by 11.265 to the Negative.
