During a press conference on Tuesday, President Donald Trump sharply criticized a reporter for repeated interruptions, stating that the nation is weary of “horrible people” like him.
The exchange occurred when the reporter questioned President Trump about recent pardons related to the January 6, 2021, events, attempting to create a rift between Trump and Vice President J.D. Vance. As Trump began to respond, the reporter persistently interrupted, prompting the President to assert, “Listen to me for a second. Stop interrupting.”
President Trump emphasized that the American public is frustrated with biased reporting, highlighting the disparity in media coverage of political issues versus violent crime. He noted that while political opponents are targeted, there is insufficient attention on violent criminals who receive lenient sentences. “Murderers get no time. You take a look at some of these DAs, they go after political opponents, but they don’t go after people that shoot people in the street,” Trump remarked.
This incident underscores ongoing tensions between the Trump administration and certain media outlets, reflecting broader concerns about media bias and accountability.
