Comey: Trump asked me to investigate 'pee tape' to reassure Melania.Comey says Trump reminded him of Gambino mob boss.Comey feared making Clinton an 'illegitimate president'.JAMES COMEY IN TODAY'S NY POST PROBABLY THE ONLY NEWSPAPER TRUMP READS.My hunch is that there is overlap in readership and that each paper can attract buyers simply by their covers. The tabloids are popular among commuters because they are easier to handle on the subway than full-page papers like the other primary NYC papers, the New York Times and the Wall Street Journal (another Murdoch owned paper). However, unlike Murdoch owned Fox News, the Post does not make up news and they clearly label their opinion pieces.Īs New York City’s ubiquitous tabloids, the Post and the News compete for readership side-by-side every morning on newsstands throughout the city. Trump hates the New York Daily News, and he particularly hates their covers as he knows full-well how many people see them, see for example, Trump Goes After NY Daily News After ‘Dawn Of The Brain Dead’ Cover (left). In contrast to the New York Daily News, which is harshly critical of the president and is known for its Trump mocking front pages, often depicting him as a clown during the primary ( see gallery from 1990 to present), the Post leans to the right and has supported the presidency of Donald Trump. Today’s cover is benign, even somewhat complementary since there’s a certain panache to being a Mafia don. If he did, it would be the Murdoch owned New York Post. I don’t know whether Trump actually reads a newspaper which is printed on paper.
