Trump Campaign Warns Media of 'Undoing' in 2024

Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump's campaign released a statement Wednesday warning the “media” that “biased and rude treatment” of Trump will “backfire massively” and will be its "undoing." The statement came after ABC News reporter Rachel Scott interviewed Trump at a National Association of Black Journalists conference, where she began by asking Trump why Black voters should trust him in light of his birther attacks against President Barack Obama, meetings with white supremacists and other incidents and comments. Trump berated Scott at length for the question, and the Trump campaign later called her behavior “unacceptable": “You would think that the media would have learned something from their repeat episodes of fake outrage ever since President Trump first came down the escalator in 2015, but some just refuse to ‘get it,’” said the news release. “This will be their undoing in 2024." Trump has repeatedly called for the FCC to take action against news outlets over their reporting, both as president and as a candidate (see 2401170050).
