In his first press conference in over 100 days, President-elect of United States of America, Donald Trump had of course many questions to answer. President-elect however decided to open with bashing of Buzzfeed on the documents published by the media house, he called it a fake news and Buzzfeed “a failing pile of garbage”. In relation to the released document President-elect during his address talked about how extremely careful he is in hotel rooms in foreign countries including Russia and how he warns his guards about tiny cameras hidden in the rooms, he also mentioned that he is bit of a germaphobe. He then went on to talk about the major promises made during his election campaign from building a wall to repealing Obamacare.

On the documents published by Buzzfeed
I think it’s a disgrace that information would be let out ... it’s all fake news. It’s phony stuff, it didn’t happen. It was gotten by opponents of ours ... It was a group of opponents that got together, sick people, and they got that crap together.
“I think it was disgraceful that the intelligence agencies allowed any information that turned out to be so false and fake to get out, just like Nazi Germany”
“As far as Buzzfeed which is a failing pile of garbage writing it, I think they’re going to suffer the consequences, and they already are.”
