Trump calls US journalist ‘a sleaze’ at press conference
Donald Trump on Tuesday called an American journalist “a
sleaze” during a combative press conference in which he defended his record on
supporting veterans, saying he raised $5.6 million for charities on the
campaign trail. “You’re a sleaze,” said the presumptive Republican presidential
nominee, pointing to a journalist who he said was from news network ABC,
“because you know the facts and you know the facts well.” Trump called the
political press “among the most dishonest people I have ever met,” and
criticized media coverage of his presidential campaign in general and his
appearance at a veterans biker rally on Sunday. The New York real estate tycoon
annihilated more than a dozen rivals in the race to sew up the Republican
nomination for the White House and is trailing Democratic frontrunner Hillary
Clinton by just a few percentage points in recent polls ahead of November’s
general election.
