Trump has taken an aggressive approach before with a news media that he says is biased against him and he has suggested on the campaign trail that libel laws should be changed so that it is easier to crack down on the news media.

Katrina Pierson, Trump’s spokeswoman, told CNN “I do not believe it at all, it is 100 percent patently false”.
Donald Trump picked a fight with someone who buys ink by the barrel and because of that the New York Times barely concealed its glee today when responding to the demand by Trump’s lawyers for a retraction of yesterday’s story that Trump groped two women.
Trump also denied the claims saying they were “fabricated, pure fiction, and outright lies”, in a speech he made in West Palm Beach on Thursday.
The New York Times reported two women’s detailed accounts of Trump groping them.
He said: “Their agenda is to elect Crooked Hillary Clinton at any cost, any price, no matter how many lives they destroy”.
“He was like an octopus.His hands were everywhere.It was an assault”, she told the daily. “His hands were everywhere”, Leeds said.
Leeds fled to the back of the plane after the encounter. She claims this took place in a public area. In a tweet and in a later speech on October 13, Trump said the episode described did not happen.
“Why didn’t the writer of the twelve year old article in People Magazine mention the “incident” in her story”. The letter noted that Trump himself has “bragged about his non-consensual sexual touching of women” and publicly acknowledged that he has walked in on beauty pageant contestants in their dressing rooms. And then, she said, he “kissed me directly on the mouth”.
“It was so inappropriate”. I think it makes him a normal person not a political robot. But Stoynoff insisted that she just wanted to “forget it ever happened”.
Trump’s lawyers threatened to sue the New York Times. Romper has reached out to the Trump campaign for further comment on the new flood of allegations, and is awaiting a response.
Ms Leeds, 74, said she sat beside Mr Trump in the first-class cabin of a flight to NY more than three decades ago.
In a sharply worded statement, People editor-in-chief Jess Cagle called the reporter, Natasha Stoynoff, “a remarkable, ethical, honest and patriotic woman” who had come forward because she felt a duty to tell the public about Trump’s attack.
“You are a disgusting human being”, he told the reporter. Just kiss. I don’t even wait. I don’t do it. You can do anything.”-as harmless “locker room talk”.
Yet Trump is a deeply imperfect messenger, given that nearly everything he says is being overshadowed by a flood of allegations that he kissed and groped women without their consent.

“When you’re a star, they let you do it. Grab them by the p”.
“You know we’re going to have an affair, don’t you?” she says he said later that afternoon.
