âOh, I donât know about that. I donât know anything about that. You mean fans of mine?â Trump replied.
âSupposed fans of posting these very angry â but your message to these fans is?â Blitzer continued.
âI donât have a message to the fans,â the billionaire said. âA woman wrote an article thatâs inaccurate.â
Iâm beginning to miss the days when these people used to bum rush the fact checkers.
By the way, Blitzer was trying to give him leewayâŚdiscuss.
Republican Donald Trump on Thursday named Steven Mnuchin, chairman and CEO of private investment firm Dune Capital Management LP, to serve as the national finance chairman for his presidential campaign.
Mnuchin, also a former partner at Goldman Sachs, will bring finance experience to the campaignâs fundraising operation, the statement said.
Steven Mnuchin came to Los Angeles with a certain New York sheen. The son of a prominent New York banker and arts patron, Mnuchin spent 17 years at Goldman Sachs building a fortune reportedly worth $46 million, before forming his own firm, Dune Capital, that would bring him even more luster. By the mid-2000s, Dune was providing financing for batches of winning movies, like the âX-Menâ franchise and âAvatar,â Hollywoodâs all-time box-office champion.
So when Mnuchin and Relativity Media announced last October that they had formed a new bond â the one-time Wall Street star investing in the Beverly Hills studio and joining founder Ryan Kavanaugh as co-chairman of the companyâs board â it appeared to be a breakthrough moment for all concerned. Mnuchin deemed himself âthrilledâ at the prospect of working with Kavanaugh and his team âas they continue to build a global media company that is redefining what it means to be a content creator in the 21st century.â
With Relativityâs Chapter 11 bankruptcy filing last week, those high hopes have been dashed, and Mnuchin has been left in a particularly uncomfortable position. The money-man and fellow investors in a Dune Capital fund are said to have lost as much as $80 million â equity that is almost certain to be lost for good, said two sources familiar with the situation. And disgruntled Relativity investors privately are questioning how a bank Mnuchin once headed âOneWest Bank of Pasadena â was allowed by Relativity to drain $50 million from the studio just weeks prior to the July 30 insolvency filing.
Mnuchin, who is partnered with Brett Ratner and James Packer in the film financing company Ratpac-Dune Entertainment, did not respond to repeated calls for comment.

Trumpâs message is to the hoards
Itâs hordes, Ms. Krueger, hordes. But back to The Third Mrs. Trump. Weâre going to hear more and more and Melanjia Knav from Slovenia, so letâs start here.
There will come a day (fairly soon) where to say, âIâm for Trumpâ will stop conversations cold with otherwise âreasonableâ people.

In the dna as to why not.
âOscar de la Hoya details how he saw Donald Trump cheat at golfâ
FYI,Steve. Enjoy long read.
Iâve been wondering when it will dawn on the Ivory Towers of the smug TV pundits that they will be President Trumpâs first victims?
Why is this not front page news?
The details of her modelling career between 1992 and 1996, when she moved to New York, are a little hazy
Back in the day the cigarette and cigar fog in some of your seamier strip clubs was almost overwhelming.
Trump is going to find the media landscape a little different now that heâs gone from amusing sideshow, to worrying front runner, to actual nominee. If you thought the media was âunfairâ before Donald (what we in the political world call âvettingâ) youâre going to love the next six months.
They say there is no such thing as bad press. In politics, thatâs not true. Now that youâre no longer a funny figure on the other side of the primary line, but headed into a one-on-one match up with a woman who has been undergoing a media flogging for 20 years, youâre going to get to experience a world where everything you said before that was passed off as odd or dismissed with an eyeroll is going to drive actual voters the other direction. Your ability to shrug things off and change the subject is going to dry up in a hurry.
Youâre in the hot seat now, Donald. Those financials of yours you were withholding? Nightly news. Those interview softballs they pitched you because they wanted you on their show? Replaced with grillings on every subject that embarrassed you.
Are you going to cry and threaten not to show up for the national debates against Clinton if you donât like the way the moderators treat you?
The media is sharpening their knives and Iâm popping the popcorn.
Theyâve been trying to make Benghazi and her email server stick to Clinton for years now. The media is tired of that. Getting to focus all their investigative journalism solely on you is the main stream medias wet dream. Every person who doesnât like you is going to get booked on a news show. Every disgruntled executive you fired, every contractor you stuck with the bill⌠I canât imagine the list of 15-minute opportunists lined up around the block and CNN has 24 hours of programming to fill a day.
Youâre a no-talent reliever with one trick pitch who somehow talked his way into getting called up to the major league.
Your wake up call begins in 5⌠4⌠3âŚ
Supposed fans. #fuckyouwolfblitzer
It may be Hillary operatives posting swastikas and ovens JUST to smear the Republican.
My money says they continue to mostly bring dull spoons to their encounters with Trump.
He sounds like a Mafia boss.
I doubt it.
He was a sensation before. They gave him a lot of play because if they didnât heâd go across the street and be outrageous, and they wanted a piece. He was able to call the tune because they needed him more than the other way around.
As the candidate, he doesnât have that luxury. If her refuses to show up and answer tough questions, then they just put on a panel of former associates of Trump who will talk trash instead. Those sorts will come out of the woodwork now that theirs money in it tearing down the nominee.
Meanwhile the Clinton campaign can manufacture attack adds that are just unedited footage his interviews.
Maybe. But it is the American public youâre depending on to be discriminating in their analysis of Trumpâs past acts.
Adam Sandler made âJack and Jillâ in 2011. People continued to attend his later productions, with enthusiasm.
The whole âAnti-Semitic/Media Elitist/Sheâs a Bitchâ line is fertile ground for Trump to mine, and trust me, he will.
I await the line of âTrump Shirtsâ with âTrump Armbandsâ and âTrump Jackbootsâ being sold at his rallies.
This Buffoon/Narcissist is playing with very dangerous ideas that will explode in his face (and he will blame everybody but himself when it does.)
