Trump calls NBC reporter an Idiot and used several foul words on him

[Sticky Bomb]

Trump in a meeting with the South African President got easily aggressive on the NBC reporter after he asked an off topic question regarding the Plane gifted to the US Airforce by the Qatar government, after seeing the Genocide video of white south African farmers. In as much as the reporter's question wasn't in line with the current conversation in the oval office, he shouldn't have embarrassed him that way. Presumably Trump hates the NBC news, in general, and even extended his anger on Brian Roberts and all other people who run the platform.

It's an off-topic question, and the reporter triggers him. If you ask that kind of question to a president who does not know how to be diplomatic and tactful, you're going to get that response.

You will not get Trump off guard with that kind of question; he will face you, embarrass you, and even the company you're working with, and this is precisely what he did.

I'm not surprised at all, he does more than that normally. For someone very low on courtesy, we wouldn't expect less.

Republicans are radicals, you cannot compare their reactions with the cooler-headed democrats. The dude asked off-topic question quite alright, but a man of his status should be more informed that this is an intentional trigger to wash his dirty character linen in public. The news agency did that on purpose, nothing like not being updated with information.

Wouldn't you just say that this is trump just being trump again? He is not unknown to have these kinds of reactions.

we know that trump doesn’t shy away from speaking his own mind and he doesn’t care about putting up a false image the thing is no matter how “disrespectful” he gets to people he will still have followers because they like how he is and will defend him no matter what

Trump just said that Canada is considering becoming the 51st US state in order to be protected by our beautiful golden dome without having to pay billions of dollars for the privilege. I don’t believe it, but it is sort of funny that Trump continues to poke Canada. Politics has never been more fun than right now.

as for trumps statement
entire canada considering it no.. but provinces independently considering it against canada as a nation, yep

canada as a whole wont just join the US as is.. and even if they eventually did, it would not be where entire canada would be treated as one state

i feel trumps game/plan is to bribe canadian provinces between US northwest coast (British columbia/alberta/yukon) and alaska to vote on leaving canada first. so theres a full USA land path from alaska to america. and then let the domino's play out per province as referendums play out going easterly

and again, yes provinces (local gov) are considering it, but canadian national government dont want to consider it

The Canadians who wish to become US citizens would want it to happen, but the Government knowing the authority and principalities they'll lose to the US government wouldn't want it to happen. Although Canada is in a bad shape since the Tarrifs and US no longer taking their Lambos, what is in it for Trump to gain by converting them to become USA?

Canada has been in a bad shape since Trudeu took power. They are nothing like they use to be so a case similar to Sweden. For your second question, you can look at it in a more general way. Why would any country wants to expand its border and population? More natural resources, strategic military position, more people, bigger economy, more power on the world stage and so forth. There are many challenges if they want to do something like this, but the advantages are many.

I am not surprised that Trump, could scold somebody in front of a dignitary, he doesn't follow protocols everytime, he does and talks what he feels at anytime. Ofcourse the American people knew his manarism and yet they voted him into office for the second time so I believe that his calling a reporter an idiot in front of a guest should not be a surprise to anyone, it is who he is. I think that Trump, is a typical American they don't give an "F" word what you think about them, they say it the way they see it not minding how you take it. I guess that reporters that don't need bashing from Trump, will henceforth mind the type of questions that they will ask him because he is capable of giving them a piece of how he really feels about it at the time.

Though I don't no whom to blame on this but since is a question that wasn't meant to be on that show it wasn't supposed to be ask considering the person they're asking the question to, perhaps the reporter didn't think about how Mr president will react on that since he feels is not an annoying question but as the case may be tolerance and ways of perceiving things are not the same and obviously it was like an insult to him. Though you are right there could have been other simplest turn to use about it instead of how he handles it but however this is a moral lesson to others who are working in the same field.

It's pretty obvious the reporter asked a question that wasn't inline with the agenda of the meeting he come for. At least, the questions should tally on what is been discussed there.

There are certain questions you will bring up in time where something else is been discussed, someone wo is diplomatic as Trump will surely ignore the question. However, this time he responded with toxic words which I don't expect him to have done.

If Trump can talk rudely to the President of Ukraine who is the reporter he wont used abusive words on?

What do you think about such a reaction in the midst of the South African President?

Trump is a very straightforward guy; he will not abuse you with his words, but your company, and sometimes the way you look, he has a dictator mentality like the North Korean president, who only wants to hear praises and nice words. He will ostracize people who annoy him.
Trump proves to be a very controversial president, doing things that have not been done by any past President of the US. This is the first year of Trump; the world has to brace itself for the next three years.

The three years already look completed, he feels they is no enough time to do all that he wants to achieve for the American people. But the whole of his cabinet attest to the stress and work going on since his commencement in office. There has never being a thing like that, coming out in the oval office to address delegate matters in the presence of the media. In as much as other hidden meetings holds between him and other leaders like Putin when he had about 2 hours phone call with him, Trump appears to be the most transparent leader in the world.

I mean, isn't a cliché at this point to see some random reporter to ask off topic questions to some president when they are in an official meeting with another head of state? This is not the first time it has happened and won't be the last one, the only difference here is we are talking about Trump and we all know how fierce the left wing media as become way back since he became a viable candidate to win the Republican nomination and the presidency of the USA.
Instead of behind rough and impolite to the reporter, it would have been enough to some moderator to comment the question from the person won't be considered since does not have anything to do with the purpose of the presidential visit to south Africa. Trump did not even need to talk or directly answer to the reporter, if there was some actual and effective moderation.

[DeathAngel]

Maybe it’s a bit rude but let’s not pretend Trump doesn’t get insulted & heavily criticised by the media on a daily basis. I don’t agree with it but they’re adult men, I’m sure they will get over it. We have much more serious things to worry about in the world than hurty words.

Trump wouldn't act or pretend to be in a good mood when he's not. He is what he is and he expresses his feelings bluntly. He fears no one. Earlier, we had seen him exchange harsh words with Ukrainian President Zelensky. Also when he see's that Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell doesn't agree to his rate cut policy, he call him "fool" or " A major loser" and all sorts of bad words openly in his tweets. So we shouldn't be surprised if we continue to see such words and action from the president.
