Donald Trump: Reince Priebus didn’t tell me to ‘tone it down’
Politico ^ | 07/09/2015 | Karey Van Hall

Posted on 07/09/2015 7:35:05 AM PDT by GIdget2004

Donald Trump remembers that phone call with Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus a bit differently.

The Donald took to Twitter on Thursday morning to slam a Washington Post report that Priebus spent nearly an hour on the phone with him this week, during which Priebus told him multiple times to “tone it down.”

“Totally false reporting on my call with @Reince Priebus. He called me, ten minutes, said I hit a ‘nerve’, doing well, end!” Trump wrote.

I notice Politico uses the terminology “Mexicans seeking immigration” like they are not illegals...If I didn’t know any better, I would say the media keep twisting Trumps words.

So while the Press told us Priebus told him to tone it down, we get a different story.

“So while the Press told us Priebus told him to tone it down, we get a different story.”

Yes, but the Wash Post does say that the RNC confirmed the call and its content.

In any case, someone is telling stories.

ROTF laughing. What's Priebus (or whatever) going to do? Say he told Trump to turn it down? Then he's both a bully and a pansy at the same time.

With Trump, there seem to be only two kinds of outcomes. Either both people win if the other one agrees with Trump. Or Trump wins and the other person loses if they don't.

I love it.

You have one story from a press hack.

And then you have a story from a participant.

I tend to believe the participant in the conversation.

So used to getting away with the lie, Trump leaves the media standing there with a wet dripping sack of garbage in their hands.

I love how Trump outs the media on their lies by going straight to the horses mouth with lines like “the CEO of Macy’s called me and apologized”!

Hahahahaha

Rience aka Pee Wee Herman was in front of every Camera in the Country the Month before the Midterms telling everyone the Republican Majority would Stop the over spending, secure the Border, Stop Obamacare and stop the President’s Illegal Executve Orders.

Sure I will believe what ever Pee Wee has to say. /s

Cruz/Trump. Cruz/?

I cannot think of anyone else. Walker, Rubio have long been crossed off my list.

...or Trump for an office where he gets to speak his mind. VP is too quiet a position for him to hold, but don’t want him as president. Maybe Finance Chair, LOL.
