Trump shouts at MS NOW reporter: 'You're fake news, don't ever talk again!'

During a press interaction, President Donald Trump erupted at MS NOW reporter Jake Traylor after Traylor asked whether he was reconsidering U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro's role following her decision to drop a vandalism case involving the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool. Trump shouted 'You're fake news. Don't ever talk again. You're fake. You're one of the worst in the business. Fortunately, nobody watches you,' and then pivoted to criticizing Pirro for having 'folded like an umbrella.' The outburst is part of a broader administration pattern of intimidating journalists, coinciding with recent subpoenas targeting reporters over leak investigations.
