US President Donald Trump's confrontation with the media is nothing new, but a recent incident that happened in the Oval Office has once again created a stir. During a program, a question asked by CNN reporter Kristen Holmes on North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un angered Trump so much that he even called the reporter 'fake' and 'indecent' in front of everyone. What was the whole matter? Actually, an event was organized at the White House to honor 16-year-old lifeguard Ryder Williams, who saved the life of an Indian-origin child on a California beach. During the program, when CNN reporter Kristen Holmes started asking questions about North Korea and Kim Jong Un, the atmosphere became tense. Trump was at the time defending his relationship with Kim Jong Un and his decision to limit military exercises with South Korea. When Trump shouted 'Shut up' The controversy reached its peak when a reporter asked Trump whether Kim Jong Un himself had demanded a reduction in US-South Korea military exercises. Trump interrupted the reporter and shouted, "shut up. You are behaving very rudely in front of this boy (lifeguard)." When the reporter tried to continue, Trump lost his temper and said, "CNN, fake news. You are fake news. You are a fake reporter. Keep calm."
The White House told the reporter that after Trump's displeasure, the White House's 'Rapid Response' team also took charge. The team officially released the video, saying that the reporter's behavior was extremely inhumane. He tweeted, "While the President is honoring a young hero lifeguard, reporters are using it to make derogatory comments about staff members." He termed the reporter as the lowest level of journalism. Defense of relations with Kim Jong Un: Trump has repeatedly reiterated in his statements that his relations with Kim Jong Un are very respectful. He argued that his talks with Kim and the decision to reduce military exercises had made the Korean region more secure than ever. Terming it an 'expensive military exercise', Trump said that his main objective is to reduce the financial burden on America. This entire episode once again underlines Trump's 'fire-tested' relationship with the media.
