The original terms stated that Trump would speak off the record at the start of the meeting, and that would be followed by a lengthy on-the-record discussion with reporters and columnists.

I got to say I love how he is handling the “media”. Why does he have to give them access. He should schedule a meeting every other day with the NY times and cancel it on Twitter every time...or just don’t show up.

It’s not like they are going to hate him any more for doing it. He should give access and interviews ONLY to people that are “fair”.

Trump trolls these MSM goons all the time. They can’t stand not being the center of attention. Screw ‘em.

companies with foreign governments ties that do business with Trump

Now how about all the companies with foreign government ties that do business with Bezos or Carlos Slim or all of the other Silicon Valley execs who excoriate Trump. Nope! No conflict there.

We all know about it. Now let's have it out and if Trump makes policies that favor his businesses at the expense of other American's businesses or the American People, then publish the facts - true facts - in support and we will hold him to account.

My guess is that the Times is soon to find out what ‘hardball’ is all about . . .

It was also revealed that no one from Trump’s camp or the president-elect himself notified the Times that the meeting was no longer happening


They can read it in the Daily Mail. :-D

There might only be one or two “reporters” at his first few WH Pressers.....He will beat them into submission or watch them fade away into utter irrelevance as rogue underground movements instead of news agencies.

“The Times on Tuesday published a front-page story detailing some of the companies with foreign governments ties that do business with Trump”

FBN had Stoddard on just now, talking about this and wind farms near Trump courses, along with establishing a blind trust, the details of which have not been announced. She said this is why he cancelled, as the NYT was going to gun for him.

Good for Trump. If a meeting with the NYT isn’t held off the record, then it isn’t a meeting ... it’s a media interview.

Welcome to the ART Of The DEAL.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I cant wait until Trump tells the media that all “journalists and reporters”, starting on the Jan 21, 2017, will need to apply for, be background checked and finger printed, register with the government, and issued a lisence to exercise their 1st Amendment constitutional rights of free speech concerning matters of the Federal Government.

Intentionally spreading mis-information and lies about the workings and action of the Federal Govt should be a crime punishable by jail and revocation of your 1st Amendment license.

I would hope the off-record part (and the prior meeting) is to tell them his investigative team has large volumes of in incendiary information about them with individuals’ names, that he has a full legal team ready to file charges, and that if they remain unfair to him, he pulls the legal trigger in full auto mode.

NYT is surprised to learn from a tweet that the meeting is off. Get used to it; Trump likes to speak directly to the people. If NYT will be a direct, honest conduit, they will be used.
