A Presidential frontrunner in the forthcoming election in the United States of America, Donald Trump has described an American journalist as “a sleaze.”
Trump, in a combative press conference on Tuesday called in which he defended his record on supporting veterans, said that he raised $5.6 million for charities on the campaign trail.
“You’re a sleaze,” said the presumptive Republican presidential nominee, pointing to a journalist who he said was from news network ABC, “because you know the facts and you know the facts well.”
Trump called the political press “among the most dishonest people I have ever met,” and criticized media coverage of his presidential campaign in general and his appearance at a veterans biker rally on Sunday.
The New York real estate tycoon annihilated more than a dozen rivals in the race to sew up the Republican nomination for the White House and is trailing Democratic frontrunner, Hillary Clinton by just a few percentage points in recent polls ahead of November’s general election. [myad]
