Idea -- fuowe tur -- turned that idea on its head. if a previous president, if obama said that, that would have defined his presidency. >> this was a fascinating piece. i was struck by the end of the article where trump, in effect, said that the press has a vested interest in him. hes going to win the next four years because in some ways the press have benefitted financially from him. what did you make of that last moment in the interview? >> reporter: i think that he, you know, i think she real...

Their contempt for the president leads into contempt for his supporters. i think they need to figure out that much of the country has different sensibilities for what they are looking for out of washington. >> the president delivered a big christmas gift late to the "new york times." >> yes. >> the embodiment of the washington press corp establishment. the "new york times" favorite printoutlet to speak to and he will criticize it. >> i think the "times" enjoying bashing him and its good for thei...

Sentence tweeted out by president trump just after midnight. despite the constant negative press -- whats that word? >> covfefe? >> covfefe. >> reporter: professionals could only guess how to pronounce it. >> that is hilarious. >> but how do you say it? >> covfefe. >> reporter: were pretty sure the president meant to type negative press coverage but the covfefe tweet stayed up almost six hours. it was then deleted and the president then tweeted who can figure out the true meaning of covfefe? enj...

>> cofveve. >> ive been saying it cofveve. >> were sure the president meant to type negative press coverage, but the cofveve tweet stayed up for almost six hours. it was then deleted and the president tweeted who can figure out the true menning of cofveve, enjoy. which the internet did. it was turned into a wheel of fortune puzzle. eventually the white house press secret only confused things more. >> the president and a small group of people know what he meant. >> i thought it was a hidden messa...

Climate accord, and yet, that, mr. trump is a very stupid man, is the assumption dominating this press coverage. the author of those words of "the wall street journal," joining us and appeared in your column, you include yourself as one of those who is skeptical. >> i never thought president trump was stupid. when he first started, you look it up jesse ventura, arnold schwarzenegger, and then they started high expectations, approval ratings. they got what they really wanted through, and then it ...

Get more take-home pay. but why is the bill so unpopular now? >> well, i mean, weve had press coverage that, as weve discussed, has been very skewed, and people perceive theyre getting a tax increase when theyre not. and, yes, well sort that out in february. i think also it must be fun to be chuck schumer and get to predict armageddon and have no one hold you accountable when it happens -- paul: or if it doesnt. >> excuse me. the left is making this argument corporations have said, hey, were goi...

>> he headed to mar-a-lago today without the traditional year end press conference. the first time a president skipped that ritual in 15 years. he doesnt like press coverage. he abused a tax loophole to avoid a review. the reporter who broke the stories on the beat will break it down momentarily. this shows he didnt just duck it. he did it by claiming to be charitable. tirs cause it a dirty dozen scam. this gave trump over $5 million. joining me, christine stapleton, investigator for the palm be...

Always view themselves as the victim of something, victim of a rigged system, victim of unfair fbi, victim of unfair press coverage. this seems to be a jetrait. but i think the fbi and department of justice have a lot of dedicated public servants whose work is being maliened because there is an effort to tear down the institutions to tear down what bob mueller may found, by discrediting in advance by casting doubt. in the meantime they do enormous damage to the democracy and undermine public con...
