Trump to Meet with ‘Failing’ NY Times a Week After Trashing Them on Twitter

It was literally less than a week ago that Trump went on a Twitter rant against the Times (one of several over the course of the past year):

The failing @nytimes story is so totally wrong on transition. It is going so smoothly. Also, I have spoken to many foreign leaders.

Australia, New Zealand, and more. I am always available to them. @nytimes is just upset that they looked like fools in their coverage of me.
