Donald Trump: 'Wait Until You See What I’m Going To Do' To The New York Times
Donald Trump launched an ominous threat at The New York Times, appearing to promise revenge for perceived wrongs. (Watch the video below.)
In an interview shared Tuesday on YouTube, host Ben Shapiro accused “legacy media” of rigging the information flow before the election and “burying” an assault accusation against Doug Emhoff, the husband of Democratic nominee Kamala Harris.
“If that were me, it would be the greatest story in the last five years,” Trump said.
A Shapiro ad cut into the conversation and the interview resumed with Trump venting at The Times.
“The New York Times is one of the most dishonest of all,” Trump said. “I watched this New York Times, and it’s a classic. Wait until you see what I’m going to do with them, you’re going to have so much fun.”
“In three, four, five days, this is the most dishonest newspaper. They are disgusting,” he continued.
The Republican nominee did not elaborate on his plan in the exchange but he has a habit of menacing media outlets over negative coverage or what he perceives to be unfair treatment.
The New York Times recently endorsed Harris for president in a retelling of Trump’s faults and this week pointed out that Trump appeared to lie about visiting Gaza.
As of this writing, it had not reported on the claim made in a British tabloid that Emhoff slapped his then-companion at the 2012 Cannes Film Festival in a fit of jealousy. The Daily Mail interviewed friends of the woman with purported knowledge of the incident. Emhoff’s team issued a denial.
