A reporter tried to confront Donald Trump with facts and his furious response was a grim snapshot of where the US is right now
If you’re looking for a snapshot of where the US finds itself right now, you surely won’t watch a better exchange than this. Well, not until the next time, obviously.
It’s a reporter who dared to bring facts into the conversation after Trump and his right-hand buffoon Robert F Kennedy Jr told pregnant women not to take paracetamol despite there being no actual evidence linking it to autism.
And Trump’s furious response might be grimly predictable but was no less shocking for it.

How on earth do the reporters sit there while he insults their colleagues and not even try to defend them by maybe directing the question back to them instead of just moving on

I mean the man is only supportive of those who will push his dangerous rhetoric. Soon it will only be right-wing journalists he’ll talk to. So, Little by little, we’ll only see the Brian Glenn’s, the Tim Pools, and Laura Loomers of the world!

You’re OK with this America? Your FIRST amendment is in shreds, and your president is peddling very, very misleading and dangerous information.— Kannbell @kannbell.bsky.social (@bellkare) September 22, 2025
