Sorry, #Lyin'Donald, the mass of evidence is on the Times' side.

*  He is a racist, #$%$ bucket. He is garbage and folks in this country want this idiot who knows nothing to be president? Release your taxes! Anybody who supports him has no brains at all. Clinton at least has some experience. What about Trump cheating on his wives and the 3 divorces as a result? He is an orange bafoon.
*  In my opinion Trump is of reprehensible character, is a terrible decision maker, surrounds himself with incompetents, and has no governing experience. I could not in good conscience choose him to be leader of anything regardless of what I think of the other potential candidates.
*  Trump is so thin skinned and there hasn't been one instance where he admitted to doing something that was reported. It seems like the whole world must be lying like with his fraudulent university, to his try at using imminent domain to obtain a house, to his multiple bankruptcies, and the list just keeps growing day by day! It says a lot when someone has to continuously lie and show what a fraud he is by denying even a stupid story like the one of him using some "alter ego," I mean of course it can't be true. He is definitely a politician and lies through his orange teeth
*  Trump is beginning to get a taste of what Fox News has been doing to Hillary for several years.
*  Does this character, Donald Trump, think that we believe his rhetoric over our own eyes and ears? "Hit Piece," my foot!!!
*   Oh, irony. The master of the birther conspiracy, national enquirer quoting, global warming Chinese conspiracy nut is talking about a witch hunt and bringing up things long past? He can't claim innocence then attack others on hearsay,
*  They will pull recordings out of their files and the Donald has made some very questionable comments over the years. Can you believe it a newspaper in his town as he's been quoted numerous times. They love me there according to his script. His challenge to the press may backfire he's always been more than willing to be quoted and interviewed did he think they do not keep those recordings to cover themselves should he claim he was misquoted in some article.

Trump blasts New York Times over ‘lame hit piece they did on me and women’
By Dylan Stableford, May 15, 2016

Donald Trump is firing back at the New York Times over a front-page story that alleges the presumptive Republican presidential nominee made “unwelcome advances” toward women over the past four decades.

“Everyone is laughing at the @nytimes for the lame hit piece they did on me and women,” Trump tweeted Sunday morning, adding that he provided the newspaper with “many names of women I helped,” which he said the Times “refused to use.”

But Michael Barbaro — one of the reporters who worked on the 5,000-word story titled “Crossing the Line: How Donald Trump Behaved With Women in Private” — rejected [the] real estate mogul’s assertion.

“A factually inaccurate tweet,” Barbaro wrote on Twitter. “We did interview and quote women his office suggested in the story.”

The Times said its reporters interviewed dozens of women who had worked with or for Trump “in the worlds of real estate, modeling and pageants,” including “women who had dated him or interacted with him socially” as well as people “who had closely observed his conduct since his adolescence.”

“In all, more than 50 interviews were conducted over the course of six weeks,” the Times said, revealing Trump’s “unending commentary on the female form, a shrewd reliance on ambitious women, and unsettling workplace conduct.”

Trump complained that the newspaper was unfairly targeting him while leaving Hillary Clinton’s conduct during Bill Clinton’s sex-scandal-plagued presidency alone.

“Why doesn’t the failing @nytimes write the real story on the Clintons and women?” he tweeted. “The media is TOTALLY dishonest!”

Many of the women’s accounts, though, were relayed by the Times in their own words — like this one from Rowanne Brewer Lane, a former girlfriend who described meeting him at a party at his Palm Beach, Fla., estate:
Donald was having a pool party at Mar-a-Lago. There were about 50 models and 30 men. There were girls in the pools, splashing around. For some reason Donald seemed a little smitten with me. He just started talking to me and nobody else. He suddenly took me by the hand, and he started to show me around the mansion. He asked me if I had a swimsuit with me. I said no. I hadn’t intended to swim. He took me into a room and opened drawers and asked me to put on a swimsuit.
“I went into the bathroom and tried one on,” Brewer Lane continued. “I came out, and he said, ‘Wow.’”

Trump, “then 44 and in the midst of his first divorce, decided to show her off to the crowd at Mar-a-Lago,” according to the Times.

“He brought me out to the pool and said, ‘That is a stunning Trump girl, isn’t it?’” Brewer Lane recounted to the Times.

Trump disputed her recollection.

“A lot of things get made up over the years,” he told the Times. “I have always treated women with great respect. And women will tell you that.”

On ABC’s “This Week,” Republican National Committee chairman Reince Priebus said Trump “is going to have to answer for” his relationship with women, but suggested any trouble Trump had in his personal life is a thing of the past.

“There are things from many years ago and I think that, you know, as Christians, judging each other I think is problematic,” Preibus said. “It’s not necessarily that people make mistakes or have regrets or seek forgiveness; it’s whether or not the person launching the charge is authentic in their own life and can actually be pure enough to make such a charge. That’s what I think most people can look at when they evaluate people’s character.

Priebus continued: “I don’t think Donald Trump is being judged based on his personal life. I think people are judging Donald Trump as to whether or not he’s someone that’s going to go to Washington and shake things up. And that’s why he’s doing so well.”

“All these stories that come out — and they come out every couple weeks — people just don’t care,” Priebus said on “Fox News Sunday.” “I think people look at Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton and say, ‘Who’s going to bring an earthquake to D.C.?’”

Trump continued [to] rail against the Times via his Twitter account later Sunday.

Why did the failing @nytimes refuse to use any of the names given to them that I was so proud to have helped with their careers. DISHONEST!

The media is really on a witch-hunt against me. False reporting, and plenty of it - but we will prevail!
