President Trump spoke with press members. They were inside the Oval Office on 17 August 2026. He waved away criticism about the USS Lincoln. He got mad real fast. Trump yelled at a female CNN reporter. She inquired about the leader of North Korea. He told her to remain silent. He called her a fake news CNN reporter. He said she was very disrespectful.
Trump remained angry the whole meeting. The confrontation took place inside the room. He also put a 10-year-old on the spot during the Oval Office exchange.
