President Trump snapped at a reporter who tried interjecting on his comments about the election, referring to him as a “lightweight” and demanding he shows some respect.
The reporter has been identified in multiple outlets as Reuters White House correspondent Jeff Mason.
The media is portraying it as a meltdown when, in reality, it was a proper reminder to reporters who have shown zero respect for the President of the United States over the past four years exactly where they sit on the food chain.
...
Mason tried interrupting the President which didn’t work out too well for him. Trump quickly snaps back at the reporter over his lack of respect.
“Don’t talk to me that way,” Trump scolded. “You’re just a lightweight. Don’t talk to me that way. Don’t talk to …”
“I’m the President of the United States. Don’t ever talk to the president that way,” he continued before shifting to another question.
When they show disrespect, they should be physically and publicly removed and put on a blacklist.
“I’m the President of the United States. Don’t ever talk to the president that way,”
Thankfully, we have a president that knows how to handle the media.
Bush would have wimped out instead.
First time this child was spoken to by a real parent.
You stopped putting in “excerpted” but you still left off the rest of your cut and paste blog. Not sure why. You didn’t write this part and your blog doesn’t own the words you left off.

Trump’s Touchy Relationship With a Biased, Unprofessional Media
President Trump has had to repeatedly battle a biased, unprofessional media that stands as perhaps one of the most corrupt institutions in America today.
At a press conference earlier this year, CNN reporter Jim Acosta claimed his network’s reputation “on delivering the truth is a lot better than yours.”
The President wrecked him on a national stage.

Acosta, of course, struggled to recall the fact that his network had to settle a massive lawsuit with Covington Catholic High School student Nick Sandmann after the cable news station smeared him as a racist for the crime of wearing a MAGA hat.
Or the fact that CNN once had a ‘journalist of the year’ forced to resign at another outlet after it was discovered he fabricated his stories “on a grand scale” for many years.
Or the fact that three of their reporters had to leave the network after the publication of a ‘fake news’ report on Russia that was later retracted.
Or the fact that they blatantly helped doctor a call transcript with Ukraine to help fuel impeachment.
Or the numerous other stories that were proven to be false.
There have been other reporters at other outlets that the President has had to put in their place.
A Yahoo News reporter in April was on the receiving end of a verbal tongue-lashing when he tried to corner the President with false data about coronavirus testing.

President Trump had to tell CNN reporter Jeremy Diamond that his network is “fake news” and explained to the reporter he was sorely lacking in a major area.
Jeremy Diamond: “More than 22 million Americans are unemployed and 40,000 have died from COVID-19. Is this the time for self-congratulation?”

PBS reporter Yamiche Alcindor was on the receiving end of several testy retorts by the President over the years.

A study conducted by the Media Research Center recently shows biased media coverage very likely tilted the election in favor of President-elect Joe Biden.
President Trump has repeatedly warned Americans that the media is the “enemy of the people.”
They’ve more than proven him right over the past four years.

Would have been nice if fireballs flew out of his eyes and fried the guy.
He’ll get a reward at the newsroom...
He needed to be doing that a lot in his first 4 years, he fielded there nasty accusational questions. He was transparent and would take there questions even after reading crappy articles they wrote about him. When Trump wins 4 more years he should tell media like CNN and MSNBC to not even bother to show up because he won’t answer any of questions for the next 4 years.
I bet you a refrigerator water filter (I bet that because I have to go buy one today and they are expensive.) that biden would curl up in a ball and suck his thumb like a baby in about 2 questions if he was questioned like Trump has been.
I still haven’t read what the reporter said to the President. In the link, it just says the reporter interrupted. They all do that. What specifically did the man say that made the President single him out like that?
I was always wondering why they don’t have these pissant reporters physically removed from the press pool and have their press passes revoked. Still wondering why Trump never did this in all these years.
I remember Dubya snapping at a reporter for not addressing him properly.
He should've been escorted out in cuffs - NEVER to return,
exactly.
That’s absolutely what should happen.
I still cringe remembering that Biden told the president to shut up during one of the debates!! There is no guessing what kind of creature Biden really is from everything that’s been captured on camera of him cussing and LEERING - “BIG $$*%&^& DEAL” for instance when obozocare was passed...or looking at his watch “my plane leaves in” and “*^&(%*^&$ the guy got fired”! He’s a thug with a filthy mouth!
Trump feeds on conflict.
The greater the obstacle, the greater he becomes.

Reminded me of the flamethrower scene in “Once Upon a Time in Hollywood”.
The “reporter” should have an accident walking into a stone wall. It happens.
I am so sick and tired of these POS’s
