Trump scolds Korean media for wreaking havoc in Oval Office
By Bob Fredericks June 30, 2017 | 1:09pm | Updated
President Trump doesnt like the Korean media either after they piled into the Oval Office on Friday during his sitdown with South Korean President Moon Jae-in and crashed into a couch, damaged a table and nearly knocked over a lamp.
The White House press pool, including a large contingent of Korean media, was larger than usual, and the Secret Service even had to ask the Koreans to stop running as they entered the room.
But there was a lot of jostling as the Korean journalists, unfamiliar with the Oval Office, worked their way around the two chairs where the presidents were seated to find a good spot to set up.
A sofa got bumped and was moved and a lamp on a nearby table was almost knocked over before White House aide Keith Schiller caught it before it fell.
You are getting worse, an annoyed-looking Trump said to the room of reporters. You knocked over a table.
But then he turned to his South Korean counterpart and said, Its actually a very friendly press, dont let them get you, although we just lost a table.

If they were “running” into the room I’d consider that a threat and shoot on site.
Seriously, these “journalists” need to get the picture that they are NOT in control anymore. Trump needs to set an example and stop all press conferences, and file defamation lawsuits against all the major news networks. Just go total war on them. I’m dead serious. Use every single resource at his disposal to destroy the MSM. They are traitors, liars, cheaters, haters, communists.
Keep order I say,...
Misleading headline. He spoke about the press in general, not specifically about the Korean press. It is time for POTUS to take control of the number of press people in his meetings, far fewer than now.
He had No idea of how PUSHY Asians are?? OMG!! They will push you overboard on a ship to get to the FRUIT at the buffet!
Cant the POTUS staff afford door keepers?
We don’t let Brownies act this way at a GS meeting .
Koreans have a very strong sense of public shame. If Trump is targeting elements of the Korean media, this is the right way to do it
same experience in Las Vegas casino when a busload of Japanese tourists showed up...push,shove and cutting lines. Found Russian tourists also quite rude
Right. The South Korean President looked appalled.
Running through the White House. Crashing into sofas and tables. I bet he is considering this a personal disgrace.
I’d hate to be one of those Korean reporters or cameramen. They’re going to catch absolute hell.
The Chinese are the undisputed title holders when it comes to pushy, rude behavior. No other country comes close.
Its not as though Melania’s favorite piece of gilded bric a brac at Mar a Lago was broken. The Donald is having a little fun here with this “scolding”..... aka busting chops. It’s a Queens (NY) thing.
While The Japanese are super polite and are are the same racial stock. Go figger!
For sure!
Trump did not single out Koreans. He chided the mod b of “reporters” “You guys are getting worse” and “settle down”. The mob no doubt included American media.
I’ll offer up Somalians as an example of “coming close”.
Pushy, rude, impolite, all wrapped up in one skinny package.
True that. I used to go to Asia on business especially SK and Japan. They have no concept of personal space. Fortunately I am 6’1” and at the time 245 lbs. Towered above most everyone on the train.
