"Fake News": Trump Got Into A Row With A Reporter Over A Question About Putin And Ukraine

The U.S. president criticized the TV network.

U.S. President Donald Trump criticized the MS NOW television network after a reporter from that outlet asked him a question about Russian dictator Vladimir Putin in the context of Ukraine.

This was reported by RBC-Ukraine citing the White House broadcast.

On the evening of November 9 (Minsk time) Trump held a press briefing alongside UFC President Dane White. During the briefing, he publicly offered White the position of White House press secretary, but White declined, stating that he was not interested in politics.

Immediately afterward, Trump himself began answering questions from reporters. One of them concerned the war in Ukraine.

Specifically, an MS NOW correspondent pointed out that Trump had personally set numerous deadlines for Putin over the past 22 months to agree to a ceasefire and to meet directly with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, but the Kremlin leader had ignored the White House chief’s demands.

“Was he at war with us?” Trump replied, after which he asked which TV channel the reporter worked for.

Upon learning that the reporter was from MS NOW, Trump claimed it was a fake TV channel with the worst ratings. As a result, he never actually answered the question about Putin.

“MS NOW is a fake. It’s a hoax. I don’t want to answer your question. MS NOW has the lowest ratings in history. It used to be MSDNC. It’s one of the worst TV networks. You’re a fake network,” Trump concluded.
