DO NOT DISCREDIT YOURSELF

…​

<INTERVIEWER>: (23:10) Do you think that your tweets and your name calling are turning people off?

Donald Trump: (23:18) No, I think I wouldn’t be here if I didn’t have social media, because the media is corrupt. In my opinion, the media is corrupt. But the media is fake, and frankly, if I didn’t have social media, I’d have no way of getting out my voice.

<INTERVIEWER>: (23:35) You know what you told me a long time ago when I asked why you keep saying fake, with the media?

Donald Trump: (23:39) Yeah.

<INTERVIEWER>: (23:39) You said to me, "I say that because I need to discredit you, so that when you say negative things about me, no one will believe you."

Donald Trump: (23:48) I don’t have to discredit you.

<INTERVIEWER>: (23:48) But that’s what you told me.

Donald Trump: (23:51) You’ve discredited yourself.

<INTERVIEWER>: (23:52) You told me that.

Donald Trump: (23:53) <INTERVIEWER>, you’ve discredited yourself. When you say that you’re not going to cover Biden, you’re going to ask him what flavor ice cream he has, okay.

<INTERVIEWER>: (24:02) That’s not me.

Donald Trump: (24:03) Instead of, "Why did Hunter get three and a half million dollars from Moscow?" Instead of, "Why is an energy company paying your son $183,000 a month, or whatever they’re paying him?" And he has no experience in energy. You discredit yourself. I don’t have to discredit you

<INTERVIEWER>: (37:13) You’re President. You’re president-

Donald Trump: (37:13) …​ start with me. Excuse me, <INTERVIEWER>. You started with me. Your first statement was, "Are you ready for tough questions?"

<INTERVIEWER>: (37:21) I did.

Donald Trump: (37:22) That’s no way to talk. That’s no way to talk.

Donald Trump: (37:40) I think we have enough of an interview here, okay? That’s enough. Let’s go. Let’s go. Let’s go meet for two seconds, okay? Thanks. I’ll see you later. Thanks.
