Politics donald trump iran war reporter
A European reporter just took Donald Trump down with the cold hard truth about the Iran war and more of this sort of thing in America please
A free and bold European press corps did its job this week during the NATO summit in Turkey.
Instead of lobbing softball questions that go nowhere or accepting tirades from whichever powerful politician happens to be standing at the microphone, this press pool pushed for real answers to questions on issues affecting everyone around the world.

Trump was just mocked by a reporter on the world stage!

Twitter was fired up to see a reporter who had the gall to question Trump’s disastrous decision-making and the far more disastrous results.

Trump himself didn’t get the question, someone should help him understand he’s messing up with Iran.

It’s not mocking. It’s called journalism in countries with a free press. https://t.co/E7Fu9yNnPw

If this was in America Trumps response to American media “who are you with? You low IQ individual you’re so dumb what a stupid question to ask why the hell would you ask that ridiculous question” He’s far to comfortable being disrespectful to American media cause they allow it
