Trump tweets MOCK NY Times for NEW report about a Trump Jr. pre-election meeting…

El Presidente Trumpo got up and read part of a new report from the New York Times, and then mocked it on Twitter this morning.

And….

Also….

Finally:

UPDATE!

Another UPDATE!!

Clearly, he’s not worried about the report:

Three months before the 2016 election, a small group gathered at Trump Tower to meet with Donald Trump Jr., the president’s eldest son. One was an Israeli specialist in social media manipulation. Another was an emissary for two wealthy Arab princes. The third was a Republican donor with a controversial past in the Middle East as a private security contractor.

The meeting was convened primarily to offer help to the Trump team, and it forged relationships between the men and Trump insiders that would develop over the coming months — past the election and well into President Trump’s first year in office, according to several people with knowledge of their encounters.

Erik Prince, the private security contractor and the former head of Blackwater, arranged the meeting, which took place on Aug. 3, 2016. The emissary, George Nader, told Donald Trump Jr. that the princes who led Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates were eager to help his father win election as president. The social media specialist, Joel Zamel, extolled his company’s ability to give an edge to a political campaign; by that time, the firm had already drawn up a multimillion-dollar proposal for a social media manipulation effort to help elect Mr. Trump.

The report says that Trump Jr. liked the idea, and Zamel was later paid $2 million by Nader, but it’s unclear if the program was implemented. But it shows that Jr. was interested in obtaining help from foreign countries – but we knew that already. Is there any evidence that he obtained that help and paid for it? That’s the real question.
