Donald Trump walked out of an interview with a local Columbus television station after he was asked about being labeled a racist and sexist during the course of the campaign.

Trump had been speaking with the local NBC affiliate about his debate comments and his economic plans when the interviewer noted he’d been called both of those things.

Trump turned back and declared, “I am the least racist person you’ve ever met,” before walking away.

Trump also walked away from an interviewer from the local CBS affiliate after he was asked about the latest woman who has accused Trump of groping her. Karina Virginia says Trump touched her breast after a chance meeting at the 1998 U.S. Open tennis tournament in New York....................

Trump has been his own undoing. He will lash out and lash out at everyone else and never see that he's the source of his insufferable pain.

"Nobody respects women like I do." Most of the time, Trump's superlatives don't even make sense.

For tRump to walk away from free TV exposure is unheard of, that's how he won the repub primary while spending very little. He capitalized heavily on free news coverage, even through much of the general election campaign. Then all of a sudden a few reporters started doing their jobs and found out who the real Don-the-Con was. He can't cope with negative publicity.

takes lots of money and I doubt the FCC will allow him to use Russian money. And if it's internet tv he loses a big part of his audience.

in a way that connotes "shut up", to the questioning reporter?

I find that to often be helpful. Maybe he should consider trying it.

20. So he thought it was smart to alienate long time media favorites in a big metro area in Columbus?

And, Trumpy, Carol Costello at CNN was in the Columbus media before she hit the big time, and probably remains good friends with a lot of the media still there.

Acting like a cockroach to the media in a tight race in a swing state where you MUST win to have any chance of winning the general?

How's that workin' for ya?

(edited to substitute "cockroach" for pig. Pigs are nice creatures.)
