Trump on Monday summoned broadcast journalists to an off-the-record meeting at Trump Tower, where he criticized their coverage of his campaign, according to reports by the New York Times (http://www.nytimes.com/2016/11/21/business/media/trump-summons-tv-figures-for-private-meeting-and-lets-them-have-it.html?_r=0) and The New Yorker (http://www.newyorker.com/news/news-desk/donald-trump-personally-blasts-the-press?mbid=social_twitter?reload). On Tuesday, he took to Twitter to cancel and then reschedule (http://fortune.com/2016/11/22/donald-trump-new-york-times-meeting/?iid=leftrail) a meeting with the Times when he believed the terms of their meeting had changed, criticizing the newspaper as “nasty” and “failing.” Hours later, he began the meeting (http://www.nytimes.com/2016/11/23/us/politics/trump-new-york-times-interview-transcript.html?smid=fb-nytimes&smtyp=cur) by lamenting that he “been treated extremely unfairly” by the paper.

NIXON: Do you believe that?
GRAHAM: Yes, sir.
NIXON: I can't ever say it, but I believe it.
GRAHAM: But if you get elected a second time, we might be able to do something.
