U.S. President Donald Trump asked a questioning reporter on Capitol Hill, "Who do you work for?" After the reporter replied, "Notus," Trump dismissed the journalist with the words, "Notus? Who is that, I don't even know. Go find yourself a real job."
During a brief conversation with journalists at the Capitol, U.S. President Donald Trump's harsh response to a reporter became a hot topic. In the rapidly spreading footage on social media, it was seen that Trump used dismissive expressions about the institution the questioning journalist worked for.
"WHO DO YOU WORK FOR?"
Answering questions from journalists in the U.S. Congress, Trump first asked, "Who do you work for?" after a reporter asked a question. After the reporter replied "Notus," Trump stated that he did not recognize the media organization and used the following expressions:
"Who is that, I don't even know. Go find yourself a real job."
Following Trump's words, it was seen that House Speaker Mike Johnson, who was next to him, smiled, and shortly after, Trump moved on to other questions and walked away from the corridor.
FOOTAGE WAS SHOT IN THE CONGRESS CORRIDOR
In the approximately 8-second footage, Trump is seen talking to journalists on the fly in the Capitol Hill building of the U.S. Congress. The broadcast footage features the C-SPAN logo and the text "President Trump on Capitol Hill to push for tax & spending cuts bill."
It is reported that Trump was seeking support for a bill prepared by Republicans in Congress aimed at tax cuts and reducing public spending at that time.
TENSION BETWEEN TRUMP AND THE MEDIA CONTINUES
The tension between Trump and the media has long been one of the significant topics in U.S. politics. Trump has previously made statements targeting many journalists and media organizations, accusing some press organizations of producing "fake news."
The recently targeted Notus is known as a next-generation news platform focused on politics and congressional news in the U.S. The footage featuring Trump's harsh response to the reporter was viewed millions of times on social media in a short time, bringing the issue of press freedom in the U.S. back to the forefront of discussions.
