I feel comfortable' adapting to presidency, Trump says as NYT reporters live-tweet meeting
November 22, 2016
President-elect Donald Trump met with the New York Times on Tuesday after a morning tweetstorm calling the newspaper "failing" and suggesting that they tried to change the terms of the meeting.
I cancelled today's meeting with the failing @nytimes when the terms and conditions of the meeting were changed at the last moment. Not nice
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) November 22, 2016
The issues were apparently solved, because he later tweeted that the meeting was "back on" at 12:30 p.m. today.
The meeting included an on-the-record interview, which several Times reporters live-tweeted.
In it, the president-elect disavowed members of the alt-right movement and discussed his views on the conflict in Syria, how he plans to work with Republicans in the House and Senate and his preparedness for the presidency.
