    Trump denies that Byron Donalds is removing him from campaign materials

    Trump denies that Byron Donalds is removing him from campaign materials and reaffirms his complete and total endorsement of Byron Donalds.

    Source excerpt

    Another Fake Story is that a very close friend of mine, a man I endorsed very early, Byron Donalds, is taking me off his website and Campaign materials. I won Florida by Millions of Votes, getting the Highest Vote Tally in History — Three times! My numbers are better now than they were at the Election. The story started with the Woke and Dying USA Today, and then, of course, it permeated to CNN, The Washington Post, The Guardian, Newsweek, The New York Times, ABC, NBC, Forbes, and others — and I am more popular in Florida today, even more than I was in the last Record Breaking Election! This is the Corrupt Media Outlets trying to demean. Byron immediately put this picture out, and statements that it was not true, and greatly accelerated the fact that I have strongly Endorsed him. Two Rallies are already scheduled in Florida for Byron and, will be, as always, “SOLD OUT!” This was a Fake...

Read TIME's interview with President Donald Trump and the fact-check of that conversation. TIME: I'm curious about your dinner last night with Dario. Trump: Oh. Yes, exactly. Do you still disagree with his views on what he calls AI safety? I spoke to him about his views, and they're much different, I think, than what is portrayed in the media.

Even when asked about Iran or the Senate, he circled back to his feelings about the press.
