Trump supporters cheered Tuesday when President Donald Trump put a disrespectful, interrupting reporter in their place.
The president was speaking at a press conference about his Jan. 6th pardons when the reporter started interrupting him.
Trump promptly clapped back, saying, “Listen to me for a second — stop interrupting!”
The reporter then said “I apologize” before shutting up.

It was the first instance since Trump assumed office again that he was forced to put a reporter in their place.
Trump supporters cheered what happened, with many pleased to finally see America’s so often biased reporters being put in check.

Watching smug journalists get put in their place should be it’s own category of entertainment.
There’s nothing better

Respect. I learned as a child that it’s disrespectful to interrupt someone while speaking. Reporters and politicians have an issue with interrupting.

You don’t interrupt the president when he’s in the middle of answering your question. Who’s he with? They should make this the last press conference that imbeciles invited to.

Dude apologized immediately Hopefully these reporters cover the President fairly this second time around and at the least, give him the respect of the office and not act like total jackasses.

This guy needs to lose his press credentials. I didn’t think we were doing this, this go around. Replace him with an independent who respects the office of the President. No more disrespectful “journalist” hacks.

The actual topic of the press conference was Trump’s $500 billion investment to build an artificial intelligence (AI) infrastructure.
“Trump said the joint venture, called Stargate, will build data centers and create more than 100,000 jobs in the United States,” according to USA Today. “ChatGPT creator OpenAI, Softbank, and Oracle, along with other equity backers of Stargate, have committed $100 billion for immediate deployment, with the remaining investment expected over the next four years.”
“Immediately, Stargate will be building the physical and virtual infrastructure to power the next generation of advancements in AI,” the president said during Tuesday’s presser. “And this will include the construction of colossal data centers.”

Speaking later with Fox News, Oracle founder Larry Ellison predicted that Stargate could trigger a “revolution” in healthcare and other industries.
“It’s really a revolution in medicine, but it’s a revolution in many other industries as well,” he said. “Medicine just touches us all. Yes, it takes a huge investment, but the result of the investment will be vaccines that prevent cancers, personalized medicine where we never again run into a problem like COVID-19 before because we get an early warning.”
“We know when COVID starts, when there are a handful of patients, rather than having to wait until it’s become an epidemic and very difficult to control,” he added.

OpenAI CEO Sam Altman was equally optimistic about Stargate.
“This means we can create A.I. and A.G.I. in the United States of America,” he told Fox News. “It wouldn’t have been obvious that this was possible. I think with a different president it might not have been possible. But we are thrilled to get to do this, and I think it’ll be great for Americans, great for the whole world.”
But Altman did admit that AI developers need to be “responsible” by developing the technology “carefully.”
“I think people are really good, and people will do, on balance, incredible things with this technology,” Altman continued. “The scale of this investment obviously is huge. And what I think that says about the likely progress of the technology, at least what all of us believe, is correspondingly huge. But I have enormous faith will figure it out.”
