A reporter asks Trump what he meant earlier by comparing intel agencies to Nazi Germany amid a litany of other questions.
Starting with the Mexico border wall, he says it will be built, though he won’t wait for them to pay. Instead, they will reimburse the US, he vows. He says he likes “the people of Mexico. Many of them work for me. They are fantastic.”
He says he will probably nominate a Supreme Court justice to replace Antonin Scalia two weeks after being inaugurated.
He’s asked about the Nazi comment again and finally answers that leaking the dossier is something they would do.
“I think it was disgraceful that the intelligence agencies. “That’s something that Nazi Germany would have done and did do…. That information that was false and fake got to the public.
He calls Buzzfeed a “pile of garbage” and says they will pay the consequences.
Help us report truthfully on social media
As a multimedia journalist, my job is to take the quality, fact-based journalism produced by The Times of Israel newsroom and make it accessible across every platform — from Instagram posts to podcasts to short-form videos.
This is how many, especially young people, consume news these days. But misinformation is rampant on social media. Our team at ToI produces accurate, responsible short-form reporting on Israel and the Jewish world.
If you believe in the importance of factual social media journalism, please consider joining our reader support group, The Times of Israel Community. Your financial support is essential to sustain responsible multimedia reporting.
