Trump Threatens to Revoke New York Times’ Press Credentials

Donald Trump considered revoking The New York Times‘ press credentials at his rally Saturday evening in Fairfield, Connecticut.

Trump said that the Times is failing and is “going to be out of business soon.”

“Maybe we’ll start thinking about taking their press credentials away from them,” Trump said of the Times. “When they write dishonest stories, we should be a little bit tough.”

“Real garbage. They’re garbage. It’s a garbage paper,” Trump added.

“I’m no fan of the Washington Post, either. I banned them about two months ago,” Trump said.

“I’m not running against Crooked Hillary. I’m running against the Crooked Media. True. True. We’re together. We have something going on that is unbelievable.”
