President Donald Trump made it clear that he wasn’t about to play the mainstream media’s games following a reporter’s pointed question about Russia’s president.
One of the media’s favorite ways to harp on Trump is by needling him about Vladimir Putin. Washington Post White House correspondent, Michael Birnbaum, did just that when asking Trump a question aboard Air Force One.
Watch:
Trump. Is. HILARIOUS.
REPORTER: Is Putin disrespecting you by attacking Ukraine while trying to make a peace deal?
TRUMP: Who are you with?
REPORTER: Washington Post.
TRUMP: *Shakes head and chuckles* you’ve lost a lot of credibility. Anyone else? pic.twitter.com/pXgXP71PUJ

“Is Putin disrespecting you by attacking Ukraine while trying to make a peace deal?” Birnbaum asked.
“What did he do?” Trump asked.
“Well, he’s attacking Ukraine,” the WaPo reporter said.
“Is he disrespecting me?” Trump repeated before asking, “Who are you with?”
Birnbaum identified himself, leaving the president shaking his head and chuckling.
“You’ve lost a lot of credibility. Go ahead, what else?”
X loved the president’s response:
Stupid questions win you a brilliant Trump quip . Our President is never dull and I thank God for him!

Never rattled. Just the greatest troll of the fake news media.

Love how Trump shuts down fake news with ease
Classic move, calling out Washington Post’s lack of credibility
Trump always speaks truth to power, no wonder they hate him

It’s really a shame with WaPo. Watched a documentary on Katharine Graham tonight. She’s most likely rolling in her grave over what the @washingtonpost has become. That paper was her whole life and they have trashed it. @JeffBezos, you need to do way better.

Yes because the question makes no sense.
Why Trump can be disrespected when Putin attacks Ukraine?

WaPo walked right into that one Trump doesn’t play their games!
