MEDIA: “Look, I am greeted with a hostile press the likes of which no president has ever seen. The closest would be that gentleman right up there. They always said Lincoln — nobody got treated worse than Lincoln.
I believe I am treated worse. You’re there. You see those press conferences. They come at me with questions that are disgraceful, to be honest — disgraceful — their manner of presentation and their words. And I feel that if I was kind to them, I’d be — I’d be walked off the stage. I mean, they come at you with the most horrible, horrendous, biased questions.
And you see it, 94 percent or 95 percent of the press is hostile.”
