Trump: Media Will Be 'Out Of Business' If I Don't Get Re-elected
- 6 years ago
President Trump said on Friday that the media will "eventually" support him because he generates good ratings.
President Trump on Friday said if he doesn't win in 2020, many of the media companies will be "out of business."
During his presidency, Donald Trump has gone after the media on numerous occasions, claiming that most of the stories are negative and not much coverage is given to his accomplishments.
But during his address at the Conservative Political Action Conference, the president said, "the media will absolutely support me sometime prior to the election."
"You know why? Because if somebody else won, their ratings would go down, they'd all be out of business," Trump added. "Nobody would watch. They'd all be out of business."
The president made similar remarks in an interview with the New York Times in December.
"Another reason that I'm going to win another four years is because newspapers, television, all forms of media will tank if I'm not there because without me, their ratings are going down the tubes," Trump told the Times. "So they basically have to let me win. And eventually, probably six months before the election, they'll be loving me."
