NBC's Brian Williams calls Trump 'past the last exit to relevance' after meltdown

The morning after Trump's election night Twitter tirade calling for 'revolution,' NBC Nightly News anchor Brian Williams issued a scathing on-air rebuke. Williams said Trump had 'driven well past the last exit to relevance and veered into something closer to irresponsible.' Trump responded with characteristic rage, tweeting attacks on Williams: 'Brian, you made your point, but I haven't covered you since @NBCNews sent you to cover Hurricanes. How do you like doing the weather?' The feud highlighted how establishment media still saw Trump as a sideshow unworthy of serious attention - a miscalculation that would prove catastrophic four years later.
