New York Times publisher says he chided Trump not to call press the enemy

by Phil McCausland

 

"I warned that this inflammatory language is contributing to a rise in threats against journalists and will lead to violence," Sulzberger said.

 

President Donald Trump and New York Times publisher A.G. Sulzberger issued very different recollections Sunday of a July 20 meeting the two had at the White House, with the publisher saying he took the president to task for calling the press "the enemy of the people."

 

The accounts of what had been an off-the-record meeting emerged on Sunday after Trump tweeted about it.

 

"Spent much time talking about the vast amounts of Fake News being put out by the media & how that Fake News has morphed into phrase, 'Enemy of the People.' Sad!" the president tweeted.

Reminds me of school when I was a child. The school bullies played the victim card against anyone who stood up for themselves. Didn't work then and won't work now.

Finally, we have someone willing to call them out on a national scale. I love this guy!

Even if he lies to do it. The bigger the lie, the better!

What will the racist internet trolls do when their cult of personality leader lands in Sing Sing?

No worries. The vast majority will deny they ever supported him and the rest we can send to de-"trump"-ifcation holiday farming camps. ??

Trump is right again . The MSM is the enemy of the People.

The MSM is an enemy of the people supporting Trump. The truth is terrifying to Trump and his sheeple.

For Trump and his supporters most all mass media is the enemy. The USA is in new political territory since he was elected and the democrats won't let it go. Always before it was a "let's come together" after the election, not this time and never again.

Clearly "off-the-record", which the White House insisted upon prior to this meeting, means something different to Trump?

 

Now, a clearly brighter person, Sulzberger, is free to share all the details of the meeting.

 

 

Trump’s battle with the New York Times and A.G. Sulzberger, explained

 

The latest chapter of Donald Trump versus the media unfolded over the weekend in the form of a back-and-forth between the president and the New York Times. The subject: an off-the-record meeting between Trump and the Times’s publisher, A.G. Sulzberger, that the president put on the record with a tweet.

 

On Sunday morning, Trump tweeted that he’d had a “very good and interesting meeting” at the White House with Sulzberger. He said they talked about the “vast amounts of Fake News being put out with the media” and again referred to the press as the “enemy of the people.”

Not gonna lie, that's a pretty funny illustration.

We'll agree to put a couple of those around his arms but we also get to put a cone around Maxine Waters head ?
