Trump On NYT: If I Wasn't Here NYT Wouldn't Exist

  President Donald Trump talked to the media after he met with Sheriffs from across the nation. Trump responded to the "Failing" New York Times op-ed written by an alleged member of the Trump administration. Trump said, "Can you imagine, we had somebody that I call the 'Failing New York Times' and about he's apart of the Resistance within the Trump administration. And you know, the dishonest media."

  Trump continued, "You people know this as well as I do, it's really a disgrace. I will say this, nobody has done what this administration has done in terms of passed, in getting things through. An article was just printed, just came out, few minutes ago. 'Trump rates the record for budget gridlock wins, Scores big wins.' So for twenty-years, it's a twenty-year record. It's a twenty year record, they call it they call it the 'found up budget gridlock and scores big win.' For twenty-years it hasn't been like its been now, We broke it."

  Trump added, "That's just really positive stuff. In addition to that, point after point after point, if you look almost four million jobs created after the election. More Americans employed than ever in our history. So we have more people working today then any point in our history. We've created four hundred thousand manufacturing jobs."

  Trump said, "Manufacturing jobs are growing at the fastest pace in thirty years. Economic growth last quarter was 4.2%. And you people know it was headed down big. In my opinion it would've been less than zero. It was heading to negative numbers. New employment claims recently hit a, think of that the unemployment picture in the country is the best it has been in forty-nine years." 

 Trump said, "African American unemployment, lowest in the history of our country. Asian American unemployment, lowest in the history of our country. Hispanic American unemployment lowest in the history of our country. I mean i'm just looking at these point after point. Under my administration veterans unemployment reached its lowest in many many years. Almost 3.9 million Americans have been lifted off food stamps, just since my election." 

  Trump added, "Then you go into all the benefits that we got from the tax cuts. All you people benefited tremendously from the tax cuts. You go into right to try. Right to try is if a person is terminally ill, you have a right to try and see whether a drug that's not approved yet be used. Getting rid of the individual mandate, most unpopular thing there is in Obama care."

 Trump finished, "We're coming up with new health care plans, and we've started the wall. Nobody has done in less than a two year period than what we've done. So when you tell me about some anonymous source within the administration. Probably someone who's failing, and is here for all the wrong reasons, and the New York Times is failing. If I wasn't here, I believe the New York Times probably wouldn't exist. Someday when I’m not president, which hopefully will be in about six-and-a-half years from now."
