Trump Responds to NBC Report About His Campaign Loan by Trashing NBC

NBC News reported today that despite his insistence, Donald Trump has not provided any evidence that he forgave the roughly $50 million dollar loan he made to his own campaign. Trump responded by 1) not producing said evidence, and 2) trashing NBC:

The very dishonest @NBCNews refuses to accept the fact that I have forgiven my $50 million loan to my campaign. Done deal!

— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) June 30, 2016

Note the phrasing “refuses to accept the fact.” Trump apparently is straight-up telling a news organization to take his word for it.

And he wasn’t done there, as he insisted further he totally forgave the loan:

I have self funded my winning primary campaign with an approx. $50 million loan. I have totally terminated the loan!

— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) June 30, 2016

The reason I put up approximately $50 million for my successful primary campaign is very simple, I want to MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!
