I think it is reasonable to ask if there were follow-up questions at points because y’all published only a partial transcript, but, generally, I do think that people are criticizing the interview (and not the story) unfairly.https://twitter.com/maggienyt/status/946588634064580608 …

I think if people only saw the story, these criticisms would not be nearly so prevelant. But, when people see the transcript, they want to take each question apart in a way that misses the dance that is any interview, let alone one with Trump.

I don’t mind a few random unscripted interviews like this, where we find out what Trump is actually thinking about the topics of the day in a way that provides a more broad framing than just what Fox News is covering on a given day.

Yes, you could shut down every interview with Trump and become a hero to many by confronting him about every lie he tells, getting him mad, and watching him walk away. But, when he’s holed up like this, it seems beneficial to find out what he’s actually thinking about.

Would I have handled every question how
@nytmike did? No. But, I think he got us a lot of information — out of what sounds like was a totally unprepped interview that happened on basically no notice. So, kudos to him.45 replies 59 retweets 465 likesShow this thread -

Where’s a war? Broadly speaking, I am supporting Mike. Who are you talking about?

I understand you are supporting him and am not criticising you doing that. What I am pointing out is that a lot of my favourite reporters are.. in centre stage.. fighting amongst themselves about how to best interview this fool (Trump)..

Enh. It’s midnight (now 1:30a) on Twitter. I think it’s great that reporters are openly discussing such things! We don’t agree on everything, and that’s OK!
