Trump No Longer Taking Questions From 'ABC Fake News'
Newsmax ^ | October 14, 2025 | Michael Katz

President Donald Trump said Tuesday he will no longer take questions from "ABC fake news" after Sunday's interview between Vice President JD Vance and George Stephanopoulos, which the "This Week" anchor abruptly ended while Vance was speaking.

Trump was addressing reporters after a Cabinet meeting when several shouted "Mr. President" to get his attention. The meeting aired live on Newsmax and the Newsmax2 free online streaming platform.

Trump pointed at an ABC reporter and said, "You're ABC fake news," before calling on someone else.

"I don't take questions from ABC fake news after what you did with Stephanopoulos to the vice president of the United States," Trump said, interrupting before the reporter could ask a question.

Tensions between Stephanopoulos and Vance flared during Sunday's live interview, when Stephanopoulos pressed Vance about reports that Tom Homan — Trump's point man on mass deportations and border security — allegedly accepted a bribe.

On Newsmax last month, Homan denied that he accepted a $50,000 bribe from undercover FBI agents, saying the allegation was part of a coordinated campaign to discredit him. The Justice Department later closed the investigation.

FBI Director Kash Patel and Deputy Assistant Attorney General Todd Blanche said in a joint statement that "this matter originated under the previous administration and was subjected to a full review by FBI agents and Justice Department prosecutors. They found no credible evidence of any criminal wrongdoing."

Anarchists, Bolsheviks and Communists (ABC) shouldn't be allowed to broadcast, let alone ask questions.

It's A Good Start, President Trump needs to expand it to See BS (CBS), Nothing But Communists (NBC) and Communist News Network (CNN).

If Trump or others stick to refusing to deal with corrupt, propagandist, biased, woke, anti-American media people, they will have to be silent.

But that’s why Trump started tweeting in the old Twitter days until they banned him. Thank goodness Musk got X going.

The Homan thing was Biden lawfare. No different than Flynn and Trump and Navarro.

Steppy boy is a hack.

If I made a 17$ million blunder, not only would I be fired but I’d never be employed anywhere in that industry again.

Good. Stop going on those stupid shows altogether. Except for maybe Fox News Sunday and The Briefing Room.

“””If I made a 17$ million blunder, not only would I be fired but I’d never be employed anywhere in that industry again.””””

I think we should thank Little George for donating all that money to the Trump Library. What a guy.

Hahahahaha...Obama was probably looking at that and thinking: “Dang. What can I do to get that kind of deal for my library? Who do I sue?”

Trump also refused to take questions from CNN in another conference last week, calling it a “waste of time”. I agree, because all they ask are attack questions with a false premise.

I listen to conservative talk radio with ABC News breaks. The big lie could not be more obvious. I’m fluxuate between feeling embarrassed for them and utter contempt.

CBS seemed to have changed their act under new ownership.

I disagree. Trump and his protégé have been doing a great job calling out the propaganda by the Left on MSM.

I have a dilemma, if I see an ABC Reporter, Journalist, Editor or Exec in a marked crosswalk, do I stop?

I do not normally brake for insects.

The staff and the union at CBS are resisting Bliss, saying they are being threatened and bullied, don’t look for any change in the near future,or ever for that matter.

ABC already paid out $15 million due to George Stephanopoulos' defamation. Why would J.D. Vance even sit for an interview with him? Was he looking for Stephanopoulos to do it again?

The time to cut off ABC was before the J.D. Vance interview.
