President Donald Trump expressed frustration Wednesday night after top television news anchors selectively leaked damaging details of comments he made during an off-the-record lunch.

“Gave an OFF THE RECORD luncheon, somewhat of a White House tradition or custom, to network anchors yesterday – and they quickly leaked the contents of the meeting,” Trump wrote on Twitter. “Who would believe how bad it has gotten with the mainstream media, which has gone totally bonkers!”

The New York Times, who was not invited to the lunch held at the White House on Tuesday afternoon, published details of the meeting shortly after the president concluded his Oval Office address.

Two people “briefed on the meeting” revealed that Trump was cynical about whether his planned trip to the border would help shift Democrats towards making a deal.

“It’s not going to change a damn thing, but I’m still doing it,” he said frankly, according to sources.
