Who are you with?<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">KANNO-YOUNGS: I\u2019m with The New York Times, Zolan from The New York Times.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">TRUMP: Failing, failing! Circulation way down at\u00a0The New York Times. What\u2019s going on with that?<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">KANNO-YOUNGS: Are you concerned that your threat to bomb power plants and bridges amount to war crimes?<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">TRUMP: No, not at all. No, no I\u2019m not. I hope I don\u2019t have to do it. But, again, I just said, 47 years they\u2019ve been negotiating with these people. They\u2019re great negotiators \u2014<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">KANNO-YOUNGS: Why would not not violate international \u2014<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">TRUMP: And because they\u2019re not going to have a nuclear weapon. And if somebody that takes my place someday is weak and ineffective, which possibly that will happen because we had numerous presidents that were weak, ineffective, and afraid of Iran, we\u2019re never going to let Iran have a nuclear weapon. And if you think it\u2019s okay for people that are sick of mind, that are tough, smart, and sick, really sick ideolo- you know, from a policy standpoint, from a stand-, any way you want to say, mentally, these are disturbed people. If you think I\u2019m going to allow them \u2014 and powerful and rich \u2014 to have a nuclear weapon, you can tell your friends at The New York Times, not going to happen.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">KANNO-YOUNGS: Even if it means violating international law?<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">TRUMP: \u00a0Quiet, quiet, quiet. You no longer have credibility at The New York Times because The New York Times said, \u201cOh, Trump won\u2019t win the election,\u201d and I won in a landslide, I won every swing state. New York Times said, \u201cOh, Trump won\u2019t win the election.\u201d New York Times has no credibility. The credibility they have is it used to be all the news that\u2019s fit to print. A great \u2014 the old \u201cGray Lady,\u201d it was great. But they\u2019re running on past fumes, and you can\u2019t keep doing that. You have to be able to give the correct news and people like you, who I know, are fake. You\u2019re fake!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"KANNO-YOUNGS: \u00a0Thank you, Mr. President, for the question.
