President-elect Donald Trump exploded at media bigs in an off-the-record Trump Tower powow on Monday, sources told The Post.

“It was like a f—ing firing squad,” said one source.

“Trump started with Jeff Zucker and said I hate your network, everyone at CNN is a liar and you should be ashamed….

“The meeting was a total disaster. The TV execs and anchors went in there thinking they would be discussing the access they would get to the Trump administration, but instead they got a Trump-style dressing down,” the source added.

A second source confirmed the encounter.

“The meeting took place in a big board room and there were about 30 or 40 people, including the big news anchors from all the networks…,” the source said.

“Trump kept saying, ‘We’re in a room of liars, the deceitful dishonest media who got it all wrong. He addressed everyone in the room calling the media dishonest, deceitful liars. He called out Jeff Zucker by name and said everyone at CNN was a liar, and CNN was network of liars.

“Trump didn’t say Katy Tur by name, but talked about an NBC female correspondent who got it wrong, then he referred to a horrible network correspondent who cried when Hillary lost who hosted a debate – which was Martha Raddatz who was also in the room.

Is it just me, or is this story missing a solution? I doubt Mr. Trump would invite all for a dressing-down and not threaten a nuclear solution.

Ya know..?

I think I hate the US media MORE than ISIS.

This.....this is the best news I’ve heard since the election.

The prospect of eight YEARS of THIS...?

I hope I can handle it.

It’s like running across an entire room of tipsy, nude Swedish Bikini team members who have absolutely NO standards.

Can I handle THIS MUCH pleasure...?

This feeling is so weird.

He couldn’t possibly be that childish and petulant.

So now truth is childish and petulant ?

It's a tone that needs set right off the bat .. if you can't name the enemy you can't fight the enemy.

I hope he said a lot more, called out all the biggies by name and went into considerable detail in pointing out their lowlife record.

It was only a “disaster” if you’re not Trump.
