I haven’t had a call from the NYT in two years says the president, who spoke for 40 minutes with @peterbakernyt just before his speech for the RNC less than two months ago, on a call with staff just now.
Potus unhappy about @alexburnsNYT and my story today, says his supporters “don’t give a shit” about the Times.
Stepien began the call by mentioning a series of metrics and sounding committed to the plan they’re trying to execute in final two weeks.

In public, the Trump campaign boasts of 2016. In private, recriminations are beginning about a potential loss for a candidate who sees himself as his own strategist and believes the solution for almost all problems is more of himself @alexburnsNYT and me nytimes.com/2020/10/18/us/…
Advisers see rallies as a way to keep Trump happy and tweeting less. But the travel schedule is shifting frequently and Trump wants to make personal and less-than-ideal diversions, like a trip he may make to SC for Graham this week nytimes.com/2020/10/18/us/…
They see the next few days through Friday, when the debate has happened, as the last likely chance to change the trajectory of a remarkably stable race. But Trump isn't planning debate prep like he did before, aides say nytimes.com/2020/10/18/us/…

NEW: In statement and in interview, @GovChristie says he was "wrong" not to wear masks at White House, urges people to take the virus seriously and follow CDC guidelines in public nytimes.com/2020/10/15/us/…
“I believed when I entered the White House grounds, that I had entered a safe zone, due to the testing that I and many others underwent every day,” Christie said. nytimes.com/2020/10/15/us/…
He "was treated with a combination of blood thinners, the Ebola drug remdesivir and an experimental antibody cocktail produced by Eli Lilly." nytimes.com/2020/10/15/us/…

NEW - An expert hired by the Trump campaign in its arbitration against Omarosa recommended that she pay for a $846k ad campaign to "remedy" impressions she's left in "voters'" minds nytimes.com/2020/10/13/us/…
The expert, Eric Rose, made the recommendation in a lengthy report filed last week. Campaign finance experts say if Omarosa did it it would be an illegal in-kind contribution nytimes.com/2020/10/13/us/…
Omarosa lawyer John Phillips: "This isn’t free speech. It’s speech with a gun to your head.” nytimes.com/2020/10/13/us/…

.@anniekarni and me on the latest in a White House where people are simultaneously stunned by the virus outbreak there and yet still unconvinced it's a serious illness nytimes.com/2020/10/06/us/…
"West Wing aides, shaken by polls showing the president badly trailing Joseph R. Biden Jr., worried that they were living through the final days of the Trump administration." nytimes.com/2020/10/06/us/…
"Although he was described as itching to get back into the Oval Office and show that he was in charge, a potential live address to the nation was discussed but scrapped in favor of a planned taped one." nytimes.com/2020/10/06/us/…

The president's advisers hope to show that he's beaten the virus and also that he understands it better than he did. First thing he did when he got to the White House was take his mask off. nytimes.com/2020/10/05/us/…
Amid polls that were already sinking after the debate but before Trump's diagnosis, Trump's aides hope he will get a sympathy bump and that he will be able to debate on Oct. 15. But the course of the virus with him is still unknown nytimes.com/2020/10/05/us/…
Some of the president’s allies are encouraging him to see getting better from the virus as in line with battles he’s faced - Mueller, with news coverage and with impeachment. The virus is not any of those things and is impacting millions around the globe. nytimes.com/2020/10/05/us/…
