Donald Trump’s sit down with The New York Times got underway a little after 1pm on Tuesday, with the President-elect ducking out on the hundreds of staff members awaiting his arrival in the building lobby by heading in through a freight elevator.

His visit began with a lunch session, and Trump used the first four minutes to criticize the Times for their coverage of him during the election.

Trump’s remarks were shared by members of the Times staff on a Twitter live feed.

‘I have great respect for the New York Times. I have tremendous respect. think I’ve been treated very rough,’ said Trump, who was seated next to the paper’s publisher Arthur Sulzberger Jr.

He went on to say their coverage was ‘the roughest of all’ and said of his campaign: ‘It’s been 18 months of brutality in a true sense.’

Trump also made it clear that he wanted to have a good relationship with the Times, noting that it would make his job easier.

At one point he even directly addressed the Times’ publisher, saying: ‘If you see something or you get something where you feel that I’m wrong, I’d love to hear it. You can call me. Arthur can call me.’
