It was “Saudi Arabia First” at the White House Tuesday. Donald Trump berated American reporter Mary Bruce for daring to ask tough questions of presidential guest, American-journalist murderer and Trump family business associate Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman.
Trump first raged at ABC News’ Bruce for “embarrass[ing] our guests” by asking about Trump cozying up to bin Salman whose visit also infuriated 9/11 families. Worse, Trump suggested Washington Post journalist Jamal Khashoggi deserved the horrific murder bin Salman was found to have ordered.
But “stable genius” Trump totally lost it when Bruce asked why he is waiting for Congress to release the Epstein files (which he claims to support) when he could just do it now? He went on a nearly two-and-a-half minute tirade against Bruce, her network and the Epstein “hoax.” That’s the same “hoax” Trump could easily debunk by releasing all the files.
“It’s not the question that I mind,” Trump began. “It’s your attitude. I think you are a terrible reporter.”
Once again, Trump displayed his “Saudi Arabia First” bona fides by again attacking Bruce for asking “a horrible, insubordinate and just a terrible question” of “a man who is highly respected.”
