The President-Elect, in a red tie, entered the NYT “Churchill Room” just a minute before 1 p.m. He is seated next to Arthur Sulzberger.

“I have great respect for the New York Times. I have tremendous respect,” says Trump. “I think I’ve been treated very rough.”

Trump is speaking in measured, quiet tones. “I will say the Times is about the roughest of all,” he says of NYT’s coverage of his campaign.

“You could make the case the Washington Post was bad, but every once in awhile I actually got a good article,” Trump says.

“I would like to turn it around,” Trump says of his relationship with the NY Times. “I think it would make the job I am doing much easier."

Trump’s remarks about NYT’s “rough” coverage of him- “I’ve been treated very unfairly"- lasted about 4 min. Now onto reviewing the campaign.
