Interview0 Comments

In a interview with New York Times reporters and senior management, Trump says that the paper has treated him poorly.

I have great respect for The New York Times. I have tremendous respect. I think I’ve been treated very rough.

He also says he does not want to investigate Hillary Clinton:

I don’t want to hurt the Clintons, I really don’t. She went through a lot and suffered greatly in many different ways. [A prosecution] Is just not something that I feel very strongly about. I don’t think [Clinton Supporters] will be disappointed [with my presidency]. I think I will explain it that we, in many ways, will save our country.

He says he will “keep an open mind” about whether to pull the United States out of agreements on climate change. Trump also disavows his supporters in the alt-right movement, says he would have preferred to have been elected through a victory in the popular vote and reaffirms his commitment to the First Amendment. He also says he has different ideas on how to solve the Syria crisis than other people.
