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.

There is no way either of them spent an hour on the phone over this. At least if you are going to make it up make it believable.

I can see that Priebus might have asked him to tone down his rhetoric.
I can imagine Trump’s response — probably no more than 2 words: ___ you.

So far, Trump has made it clear that he is not beholden to the GOP elites or leadership.
Also, so far, Trump is shining light on some issues the GOP elites and leadership would prefer to be ignored, but Trump’s position on those issues is resonating in fly-over country.

This report tries to discredit Trump, and is publish all over the world in Spanish.
They do not have this report in Spanish yet, but it's all over Latin America papers in Spanish
La Prensa is from Honduras.
The target is Trump, they are trying to show he is a liar.
"Estudio desmonta con cifras las tesis racistas de Donald Trump"
Study dismantled the racists figures of Donald Trump
Unision said that " Immigrants commit fewer crimes than native-born," but they do not
show the difference between legal and illegal immigrants, here is the intention against what Trump said.
I believe this is some kind of front for progressives or socialists.
Also today another front talking about all immigrants from Mexico when Trump spoke about illegals.

That Washington leaking-to-the-press thing can be dangerous, especially for the GOPee and Conservatives.
RinsePee, Trump's Hellhound, needs to be careful when playing with fire.

If that happened it must be a direct result of pressure from Trump and maybe from all of us in flyover country who are boycotting Macys......money talks loudly!

These losers can't even stand up to Obama, who isn't very bright, but plays an in-your-face game that scares them. What chance do they have against Trump?
The debates are going to be must-watch-TV!

Priebus is undoubtedly talking out of both sides of his mouth, as usual.

Trumps claim was that shortly before the Macy’s announcement the CEO told him (on the phone or golf course I’m not sure) that his hand was being forced.....whether the CEOs claim is true or not, who knows.

Would anyone go out of their way TO shop at Macy’s because of this? If anything, the affect would be negative, wouldn’t it?

Well, I’m not in “fly-over country,” and he’s resonating with me! I must admit, I wasn’t too encouraged when Trump announced, but since that time, he’s done a lot to change my thinking about his candidacy.

Similar with me. I never watched his Apprentice, etc.
Now, I just hope he is in for the long haul.

Well, if they have, it’s been more than “made up for” by all those “high income” Mexican immigrants. You know, all of them who sneak into our country have net worths like Carlos Slim! Everyone wit a brain needs to drop Macy’s an e-mail to say “adios,” because all these jerks who run these businesses care about is their bottom line.

Trump knows how to use Twitter to cut through the BS and bypass the media spin.
Other Republican candidates appear to be utterly clueless about the power of social media to get their message out.
To: vette6387
because all these businesses care about their bottom lineReally. What were they thinking, alienating stable, hard-working US citizens with decent incomes? Trying to impress WalMart shoppers?
FWIW, a major competitor was selling their highest quality women's clothing online for 50% off this weekend. Vultures are circling?
