Trump Accuses NBC of Purposely Misquoting His Nuclear Weapons Comments (Except They Didnt)
The holiday season might be the time of peace on Earth, good will towards men, and all of that other fuzzy stuff, but thats not stopping President-Elect Donald Trump from swiping at the media again.
On Saturday, Trump claimed that NBC intentionally misquoted him over his recent comments about expanding Americas nuclear weapons capacity:
Donald J. Trump ✔
@realDonaldTrump
.@NBCNews purposely left out this part of my nuclear qoute: "until such time as the world comes to its senses regarding nukes." Dishonest!

Heres the original tweet for context:
Donald J. Trump ✔
@realDonaldTrump
The United States must greatly strengthen and expand its nuclear capability until such time as the world comes to its senses regarding nukes

It is unclear whether Trumps anger was directed towards an online article or a segment on TV. Nonetheless, it is worth noting that NBC has an article containing Trumps quote in full, and Politico noted that the network reported on the same complete quote at multiple points in their recent TV broadcasts.
