Trump's meeting was reported to be at least partly on the record. On Monday, he met with a variety of media executives and reporters in an off-the-record meeting that a source described to the New York Postas a "a f---ing firing squad."

Minutes after his first tweet about the Times, Trump then sent another one complaining that the newspaper "continue to cover me inaccurately and with a nasty tone":

The meeting with editors and reporters at the Gray Lady, a frequent target of Trumps rants, was supposed to be a "small, off-the-record session" followed by an on-the-record one between reporters and columnists.

Trump has toned down some of his rhetoric following the election, but appears willing to continue his anti-press tirades that became a signature of his rallies and overall campaign.

Trump has not held a press conference since July 27.

On Monday night, the president-elect took matters into his own hands and released a YouTube video in which he detailed the plan for his first 100 days in office.

Later in the morning, Trump reportedly uncanceled the meeting.
