Real-estate magnate Donald Trump just had one of the most contentious interviews so far of his 2016 presidential campaign.
Trump, who has a high-profile feud with NBCUniversal, sat down Wednesday with NBC News' Katy Tur.
And after Tur challenged Trump's argument linking violent crime to illegal immigration, he told her she should be better informed.
"Don't be naive. You're a very naive person," he said.
When Tur stumbled while referencing some statistics to bolster her point, Trump mocked her inability to get the question out.
"Try getting it out. Try getting it out. I mean, I don't know if you're going to put this on television. But you don't even know what you're talking about. Try getting it out, go ahead," he said.

At another point in the exchange, Trump mocked his media critics. According to video posted by Mediaite, Trump panned conservative columnist Charles Krauthammer as a "totally overrated person" and touted his own wealth compared to the National Review's Jonah Goldberg.
"You know, it's interesting. I went to the best school, got great marks, everything else. I went out, I made a fortune, a big fortune, a tremendous fortune," he said. "Then I get called [out] by a guy that cant buy a pair of pants? I get called names? Give me a break."

Lol!
Ok.
Cool. FIGHT BACK!
Excellent!!!!
Bkepley is as full of him/herself as Trump is ... it’s an ego thing.
He/she doesn’t understand that Trump took the reins away from the media ... once that is realized the other candidates playing catchup can do the same.
Just because bkepley hasn’t seen the big picture yet doesn’t mean he/she won’t. I do believe his/her heart is in the right place.
And he does it well. I am amazed that none of the other candidates are willing to take on the corrupt press in the manner they deserve to be taken on. Gingrich did it masterfully in 2012 and Trump is doing it now; but the other candidates, even in their best moments, are a bunch of weak sisters who act like reporters are somehow deserving of respect.
You then also know that Trump is making many of the DC career politicians very uncomfortable with his out-front chastisements. Only Cruz is also doing this. To hell with the GOP—they do not “work” in our interests. They need to be flushed into the open on all aspects impacting this country. Trump is simply being Trump, whether you care for his personality or not. But we need a strong leader in the WH, and to instill the fear/respect of the US around the world, and that respects the Constitution and laws. Especially in these times. The GOP has not stepped up for decades on any of these—they are selling us out. At least we know where the Rats stand.
It isn’t the bashing that’s irritating, there are a number of mentally challenged Freepers who post, so leeway and compassion should be given them.
What is most irritating is that, like Republicans taking the medias bait, Freepers have been taking bkeply’s bait for weeks.
She’s not destroying these threads, otherwise rational Freepers egging her on are.
