After Trump Swipes at ‘Failing’ NYT in Presser, Reporter Responds: We’re ‘Thriving Not Failing’
President Donald Trump took a few shots at the “failing” New York Times during his press conference today, and a Times reporter responded when Trump finally let him have a question.
Trump went on a tangent about the Times minutes earlier, and reporter Mark Landler jumped in to get Trump to give the Times a question.
Landler took a moment to tell Trump, “We’re kind of thriving, not failing these days.”
“You’re doing very well,” the President said. “Say thank you, Mr. Trump.”
Landler responded, “I think I’ll stop short of that.”
Trump teed off on the “negative” stories he gets from the Times before saying “I still love the paper.”
Landler proceeded to ask Trump about China.
