Lesley Stahl says Donald Trump admitted attacking press to "discredit" media coverage of "negative stories" - CBS News
CBS "60 Minutes" correspondent Lesley Stahl has revealed a candid remark made to her by then-presidential candidate Donald Trump in 2016. Stahl told a group of fellow journalists at the Deadline Club Awards Dinner in New York City earlier this week that Mr. Trump had admitted his consistent attacks on the media were meant to "discredit" journalists so that negative stories about him would not be believed.
"He said, 'You know why I do it? I do it to discredit you all and demean you all so when you write negative stories about me, no one will believe you.' He said that," Stahl told the audience, adding, "So, put that in your head for a minute."
----------------------------
So naturally, Republicans would say that Trump would never admit to those words.
But you know he can't stop boasting. Trump doesn't even respect his base. He laughs at them. That's what a con man does. Remember when he said he could shoot someone? He wasn't kidding. He's mocking his minions. Who respects a minion?
