Stelter on Series of Trump Calls to the Media: The Last President Who Lost Re-Election Went Fishing to Relax at This Time

EXCERPT:

STELTER: "Now let’s contrast Trump with the last one-term president, the last guy who was defeated after a single time. That is George H.W. Bush. You want to see what Bush was doing after losing re-election? This is what he was doing. Oh ,it looks great, doesn't it? Looks so relaxing. Bush told his successor Bill Clinton, quote, 'You’re not going to have any trouble from me.' And he kept his word. Now Trump is the anti-Bush, of course, but to borrow a fishing metaphor here, is the media taking his bait? Does this feel like 2015 all over again, with outrageous statements stoking days of news coverage?"
