Donald Trump’s furious response to a reporter’s question he didn’t like is a chilling insight into the White House right now
There’s a reason Donald Trump spends so much time on Fox News (and appoints so many Fox News alumni to his Cabinet) and that’s because they never ask a question he doesn’t want to answer.
Fortunately there remains a large part of the American media attempting to hold the president to account (although how long they get to ask questions in the White House remains to be seen).
And this was a classic case in point – an entirely legitimate query about Trump’s extraordinary acceptance of a $400m jumbo from Qatar – and Trump’s furious response is a chilling insight into the state of the White House right now.

BREAKING: Trump just melted down when asked if he’ll keep the $400M luxury plane Qatar is gifting him. “You’re ABC fake news. You should be embarrassed asking that question.” Classic Trump: caught red-handed, lashes out, hopes you won’t notice the crime. We noticed. pic.twitter.com/lW6TxapO52

The thin-skinned guy with a fourth grade vocabulary receives a legitimate question and lashes out that they are “fake news.”
