FIRED-UP Donald Trump became embroiled in a confrontational exchange with White House reporters today labelling one a "rude, terrible person" in a "fake news" blast. Tempers flared when the President refused to answer questions from CNN reporter Jim Acosta about the migrants heading for the US border and Russian meddling in the US election. Trump spoke loudly over Acosta and then tried to shut him down by demanding he hand over his microphone. He said: "Why don’t you let me run the country you run CNN and if you did it well your ratings would improve." "That's enough," Trump said repeatedly as Acosta continued to try and ask his questions. When a White House aide bizarrely attempted to snatch the mic from him, Acosta quickly yanked it back. "On the Russia investigation, are you concerned that you may .,, ?" Acosta said before Trump interrupted him.

Analysis: Trump tried to ‘fake news’ a Murdoch paper – but there was a recording
By The Washington Post | PUBLISHED: July 13, 2018 at 3:19 pm | UPDATED: July 13, 2018 at 3:20 pm By Paul Farhi | Washington Post President Donald Trump thought he was in friendly territory when he decided Thursday to give an exclusive interview to Britain’s Sun newspaper, a racy, pro-Trump tabloid owned by friend-of-Trump Rupert Murdoch. It all went bloody well wrong. At least according to Trump. The president on Friday hauled out a familiar Trumpism – “fake news” – to describe the Sun’s write-up of Trump’s own words knifing British Prime Minister Theresa May for her handling of Britain’s exit from the European Union, known as Brexit. “I didn’t criticize the prime minister,” he said at a joint news conference with May, a few hours after the Sun splashed the story across its front page.
