A woman reporter stopped Trump’s ‘fake news’ nonsense in its tracks and the humiliation (for everyone) is simply tangible

John Plunkett. Updated October 20th, 2026

Donald Trump loves to wang on about ‘fake news’ if a reporter dares ask him a question he doesn’t like, especially if it’s a woman reporter doing the asking.

Which is precisely what he was about to do in this particular instance, only for the reporter to reeassure him that, no, she’s actually from a friendly conservative news outlet (founded by Ben Shapiro, since you ask).

And basically no-one escapes from this with much credibility intact. Not that Trump had any to lose.

Q: Macron is blaming the Iran war and you for the rioting in France–

TRUMP: That’s fake news. Who are you with?

Q: No, sir. Mary Margaret with the Daily Wire

TRUMP: Oh, the Daily Wire is good. Sorry. Daily Wire is good. https://t.co/NsauCmI4Tg

Oh, the humiliation!

And we reckon these people said it best.

Lol, he accidentally gave away the game.

He can’t handle tough questions from anyone. https://t.co/3HDiDu6UuM

This would honestly embarrass me if I was a reporter for the daily wire

I LIVE in France. Trump has fucked up the world. Caused hardship on working ppl who can't afford gas bc of his STUPID war on Iran. We could have had PEACE, but no – 'I KNOW IT ALL' Mr POTUS is a MORON. I'm FURIOUS. Paris loves its diverse community. It's NOT THE PROBLEM.
