Trump Slams Reporter: 'I Watch Your One-Sided Reporting'
- 5 years ago
President Trump on Wednesday told a reporter, "I watch your one-sided reporting."
President Trump on Wednesday taunted ABC News White House correspondent Jonathan Karl, who inquired about the possibility of signing bills that would reopen some shuttered parts of the government and ensure federal workers get paid but don't include billions in border wall money. Trump asked Karl a number of times if he would do that then said: "I mean, I watch your one-sided reporting. Do you think I should do that? Hey, Jon — no, seriously, Jon, do you think I should just sign?" Karl declined to give a definitive answer. After asking several more times if signing a bill with no wall money is something that Karl would do, Trump stated, "I'm asking you, would you do that if you were in my position? Because if you would do that, you should never be in this position. Because you'd never get anything done."
