Discussion: NYT: We Gave Trump Five Days To Respond To Our Report

Trump and the lying scum around him canā€™t even be honest about if they had been contacted about the story before publication.

So infrastructure week has transitioned to ā€œFlinging Shit at the Wallā€ month. Cool.

My guess is Trump will say HE wasnā€™t personally contacted. Remember he said this about Woodward not contacting him - instead Woodward when thru the channel of press secretary and other aides. Trump thinks he is still CEO of a family business and thus everyone should feel like they can contact him night or day.

Five days? Well thereā€™s yer problem!

You should expect Donald Trump to respond very very soon, perhaps in two weeks.

ā€œIn six years, they all go BUST!ā€

WTF is THAT supposed to mean? 6 years would be the end of his second term. Is he expecting to win one and then become Supreme Leader such that he can just dissolve all non-sycophant ā€œstateā€ news sources?

Trump canā€™t think in advance of six minutes. He must have got a glance at Putinā€™s vision board / to-do list.

During my reporting days, I ran into this silliness all the time, with people claiming they were never contacted when they had been. It finally came to a head when a pissant lawyer who didnā€™t like something I had written claimed that I never asked the subjects of the piece for comment, while throwing in some snotty references to the ā€˜liberal mediaā€™.
I told him that I had records of four attempts to try and reach the subjects of the article for comment as far back as a week before the story ran and did he really want to go into court with that argument? Cause if he did, here would be the next thing that would happen. I then banged a ceramic mug on the top of my desk and said ā€œCase Dismissed!ā€ into the phone.

He hung up without a word and I went back to work.

I think he thinks nobody will have anything to write about when heā€™s gone, but a) heā€™s not going to last six years and b) the papers will be full for years of reporting about the investigations into the vast corruption of his regime, plus there will be all the reviews of tell-all books by the former members of his staff.

ā€¦no response was given on the record until the President addressed the story after its publication

He never comments on anything unless it bad toward him and is public.

The White House spam and malware filters were dumping all the Times e-mails into the ā€œEnemy of the Peopleā€ folder.

The failing NYT only provides this hero with 5 days.

What did Trump do last week? He won the war on Drugs. He solved migrant caravans loaded with MS13 duct tape smugglers stealing my fruit picking job, while building a two thousand mile wall for $59b less than the best estimates. He taught 6 orphans to read. He negotiated the most favorable trade agreement in the history of all treaties and agreements. He tuned up Marine One after noticing a timing issue while it was idling on the south lawn. He converted 35 lbs of healthy fat into 40 lbs of lean muscle. He ran an ultra marathon. He held Melaniaā€™s hand lovingly while assuring her that itā€™s just jealousy and bullies. He won the Noble Peace prize. He read all the books and found a typo in ā€œDreams Of My Fatherā€ that proves President Obama was born in Kenya. He negotiated a truce between Ivanka and Tiffany regarding lap sitting privileges.

How can that man do more I ask. True hero.
