THE Donald trump He couldn’t hide his frustration in the White House on Thursday, when a Reuters reporter cut him off while answering a question about admitting defeat in the election.
“I am the president of the United States. Never speak to the president like that.” Trump said visibly upset with the Reuters correspondent, Jeff Mason during a press conference.
According to Daily mailThe US president said yesterday that “it will be very difficult to accept defeat” in the elections, adding that he will leave the White House if the Electoral College votes for Joe Biden. “But if they do, it will be wrong,” he hastened to clarify.
Yesterday was the first time since Election Day that the US president received questions from journalists. For 25 minutes, the 74-year-old essentially avoided answering the most critical question of the day on admitting defeat. Reiterating his accusations of widespread fraud, without providing any evidence this time, Trump acknowledged that his team “doesn’t have time for it.”
A Reuters reporter who was the target of Trump’s ire yesterday asked the US president if he was considering admitted defeat after the electors college meeting December 14. This is the date from which Biden’s victory will be formalized.
As Trump repeated the “troparion” of fraud, Mason decided he should push the US president further with an additional question, which is why the interruption enraged the already annoyed Trump. “Don’t talk to me like that. You are insignificant. Don’t talk to me like that. I am the President of the United States.” Never speak to the President like this. he told the reporter, interrupting him and immediately giving the floor to another correspondent.
According to the British newspaper, this is not the first time that Tramo “gets along” with Mason. Last month, the American president scoffed the correspondent in the Oval Office due to wearing a mask, a few weeks after the White House hosted the event where many high-ranking officials are believed to have contracted the coronavirus. It is recalled that Trump also tested positive for the virus after the event.
More specifically, on October 23, Mason had attempted to ask a question of Benjamin Netanyahu inside the Oval Office. “This is Jeff Mason. He’s wearing the biggest mask I’ve ever seen.” The American president told the Israeli president about the journalist.
In early September, at another press conference at the White House, Trump asked Mason to remove his mask while asking his question. The journalist politely refused and turned up the volume to be heard. “Better now;” she asked Trump, to which he dejectedly replied, “Yes, better.”
But last May, during a briefing, the president of the United States asked Mason to remove his mask, accusing him of denying that simply “trying to be politically correct”.
