Trump spars with reporters at post-election news conference
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleUS President Donald Trump spars with reporters at his post-election news conference, ordering several to sit down and telling another he’s a “rude, terrible” person.
He tells yet another reporter he’s “not a fan of yours, either.”
The president’s mood turns sour after reporters pressed him on why he referred to a migrant caravan making its way to the US on foot through Mexico as an “invasion.” Trump ramped up his anti-immigrant rhetoric against the caravan in the final days of the midterm elections.
Trump is also pressed on why his campaign aired an ad featuring a Mexican immigrant convicted of killing American police officers and linking the man’s actions to the caravan.
Several television networks pulled the ad after airing it or declined to air it at all.
