Donald Trump just took the mainstream media to the woodshed.
During a press conference to clear up the confusion around his donations to veterans organizations, Trump went after the mainstream media, but specifically ABC News reporter Tom Llamas.
“I’m not looking for credit,” Trump said of the $5.6 million in donations he has given to various veterans organizations.
“But, what I don’t want is when I raise millions of dollars have people say, like this sleazy guy right over here from ABC,” Trump said pointing Llamas. “He’s a sleaze.
“Why am I a sleaze,” Llamas asked.
“You’re a sleaze,” Trump responded. “Because you know the facts and you know the facts well.”

The question Llamas asked that set Trump off was “You said you had raised $6 million, clearly you had not, your critics say you tend to exaggerate and have a problem with the truth. Is this a prime example?”
Following the tussle, Llamas took to Twitter:
Trump just called me a "sleaze." Should be an interesting week.

Just a couple of weeks ago, Llamas was slammed by conservative columnist and Trump supporter Ann Coulter for claiming that Bill Clinton’s rape accuser Juanita Broaddrick had been “discredited.”
Reporter Tom Llamas on ABC News Thurs re: Clinton/Juanita Broaddrick:"The rape accusation is decades old and discredited." Discredited HOW?!

ABC Tom Llamas: Juanita Broaddrick rape claim “discredited.” NBC News believed her in heavily investigated report. When was it discredited?

Presidents & Popes answer questions. But not @TomLlamasABC, who
smears Clinton rape victim Juanita Broaddrick as a liar and won't say why.— Ann Coulter (@AnnCoulter) May 21, 2016
Not saying @TomLlamasABC should be fired for his fib, though many would disagree. But he owes viewers a correction & Broaddrick an apology.

OK @TomLlamas, I was angry last night – deservedly – but this is a
