Donald Trump Blasts NBC During Live 'Today' Show Interview [Puts anchor on the defensive]

Donald Trump put NBC’s “Today” show co-anchor Savannah Guthrie on the defensive Monday during a live telephone interview when he called the network out for promoting a CNN poll over an NBC poll because the billionaire had a smaller margin in the CNN survey. The exchange occurs at minute 4:36 of the 5:35-minute interview.

“The only poll you didn't put up was the NBC poll where I'm way at the top, I’m much more than double,” said Trump. “I don't understand why NBC is using a CNN poll, which was also a good poll, I'm leading by a lot.

“Why aren't you talking about your own poll? Why are you showing a CNN poll, which is very good, but not as good as the one you put up yesterday?” Guthrie acknowledged that “I should have mentioned the NBC poll by name.”

Trump didn’t let it go. “You put up the CNN poll, you didn't put up NBC poll and you’re the ones that are paying for the NBC poll so I don't get it other than in the NBC poll is a very good poll for Trump.”

The CNN poll, conducted in the days after the second Republican debate, found that Trump continues to lead the pack of GOP presidential candidates, but that he dropped eight points, going from 32 percent support to 24 percent. In that same poll, Former Hewlett-Packard CEO Carly Fiorina jumped from 3 percent to 15 percent.

In the NBC poll, Trump’s margin over Fiorina was much larger (29 percent to Fiorina’s 11 percent) and the billionaire gained 7 points from a month earlier when that poll showed him with 22 percent support of Republicans and independents.

Trump missed an opportunity with George Stephanopoulos over the weekend, when asked about Barack's religion.

...Trump said Barack could defend himself.

He should have told him that he once heard Barack Obama refer to his "muslim religion".

...and leave it hanging for George to respond.

Great job! The media is the enemy.

Trump should just keep it up. Keep pointing out the hypocritical, lying tactics of the main stream media. This strikes a huge chord with anyone who is not on the democrat plantation and gains him some supporters from the undecideds. Americans who are not brainwashed are not oblivious to the destructive, one-sided nature of the democrat loving MSM. It is high time someone went after the commie loving rats in the MSM and we are rooting for him at this point. The more he does this the better IMO.

Doesn’t matter what they say about you as long as they get your name right.

I’m waiting for Jeb Bush to speak out publicly about Trump’s “lack of civility” for arguing with NBC and not fully trusting their motives.

And now, even before the company that signs your paycheck!

What the heck are you talking about? Trump made NBC millions of dollars in ad revenue so in essence he was signing their paychecks. They begged him not to run for pres so they could do another series of The Apprentice. Trump said no, my country needs me.

If Trump does nothing else in this campaign it will be to show conservatives
that it's ok to stand up to the press and call them on their duplicity.

Check on the internals of the NBC poll: Because the sample is based on those who initially self-selected for participation rather than a probability sample, no estimates of sampling error can be calculated.

Would you cite this poll?

The CNN poll was contrived. Here is what they did. They let Democrats vote and only 450 “republican or leaning republican”
The Zogby poll was likely republican primary voters and caucus goers!!! Who give a crap about what Rats and leaners think about OUR DEBATE!! Trump increased from 31 to 33 percent in LIKELY VOTERS!!! and FioRINO surged to a lousy 7%. Look at the polls — read the testing sample. The CNN poll is NO GOOD for anything!!!

I’m guessing these media mouths will soon receive “Truth Defense Training”.

Her husband was Al Gore’s Chief of Staff for the 2000 campaign

Michael Feldman, Savannah Guthrie’s Secret Husband

On his Linkedin page, it states that he was the Senior Advisor to Vice President Gore for seven years.

Guthrie did serve as the White House correspondent for NBC News. According to the Washington Post, the pair met in D.C.

He has famous friends from his time in the capital. In fact, Washington Life magazine covered his 40th birthday party. It was celebrated at Press Secretary Joe Lockhart’s house with guests like Jon Bon Jovi. U2 even presented him with a recording of them singing “Happy Birthday.”

I could imagine Mike Huckabee giving the press fits.
