Donald Trump’s media summit was a ‘f—ing firing squad’

By Emily Smith and Daniel Halper

November 21, 2016 | 5:12pm | Updated

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.

World leaders will get the same treatment - every human he encounters gets the same treatment unless he/she is adoring him.  That is the personality disorder he has, a grandiose view of himself above all others.

I'll have to see this somewhere other than NY Post.  If true this should be out all over the place, given the cast of characters.

In regards to the media, this is a message that they needed to hear.  I approve of this message.

What?  Are you saying Trump is not presidential?  I can't believe it!

In my opinion, Trump will not last out this presidency.

I agree and say good for him.  The media needs a republican that'll punch them in the nose.

Trump would be tweeting insults to Megyn Kelly if war was raging.  The man has no sense of proportion.

I'm not sure The (D)onald understands the consequences of doing this on the world stage with the wrong actors.
How to lose credibility while posting:
1. Trump is never wrong.
2. Default to the most puerile emoticon you can find. This is especially useful when you can't win an argument on merits.
3. Be falsely ingratiating, completely but politely dismissive without talking to the points, and bring up Hillary whenever the conversation is really about conservatism.
4. When all else fails, remember rule #1 and #2. Emoticons are like the poor man's tweet!

Gee, the blessed MSM has published a story that fits right into their narrative.

It's a good thing the media is honest and trustworthy or this story would be hard to believe.  :whistle: :

After FOX news ran a year long Trumpfomercial. I ended up turning to CNN because at least tey were balanced in their hatred for all republicans.

Trump wants to talk about lying? The SOB called in to FOX and friends and spouted the lie about Rafael Cruz being involved in the Kennedy assassination and the Fox & Moron crew sat there nodding like the simpletons they are. Their concerned silence was tacit complicity in the lie.

Jake Tapper at CNN actually did a little investigative reporting that FOX was unwilling to do and found the story to be utterly ridiculous.

And then Trump himself turns around and admits to Wolf Blitzer that he didn't believe the story but he wanted to win.

Trump later returned to the same old lie.

Yeah, that's going to get him equal access and fair treatment.  Idiot.

Well, by that logic, he should have lost the election.

To give him some credit, he may have been one of the first people to figure out how much the internet's gift of the ability to communicate with voters instantly and directly has decreased the influence of the mainstream press.

I wouldn't have thought you could defy the press that openly and succeed, but he clearly understood the medium better than did myself and a whole lot of other people.

There is nothing in this world, short of him buying those networks himself, that would give him or Republicans in general equal access or fair treatment. 

Too many Republicans have bought into the idea that the press will treat them fairly if only they're nice to the press.  It never happens, and the only effect of being nice to most of the press is to allow the press to maintain a facade of respectability and professionalism.

This probably isn't a good use of his time, but i don't see it moving the needle against him given that they couldn't be more anti-Trump than they already are.

Being President and running an election are very different things. The latter is all talk. Increasing the hatred you opponents have for you only makes your job harder.
