'Don't ever talk to the president that way': Donald Trump snaps at reporter

Donald Trump

The outgoing US PresidentDonald Trumponce again snapped at a journalist when he was asked question about his defeat in the recently-conductedUS elections.

When the Reuters White House correspondent Jeff Mason repeatedly asked Trump if he would be willing to concede his defeat against thePresident-electJoe Biden, Trump lost his cool yet again and reacted with "Don't ever talk to me that way".

Similar to many of the past incidents during his four years of Presidency, this time, too, Trump decided to ignore a reporter asking 'tough' questions and said, "I'm the president of the United States. Don't ever talk to the president that way."

After having to demand more 'respect', he continued to explain how he has not lost the elections and it was only due to alleged rigged elections and voter fraud that led to Biden's historic win.

This press conference was the first one since his defeat in the elections, where Trump allowed the media to ask questions. However, he did not guarantee an answer (with calmness) to every reporter — much like his previous pressers.

The Thanksgiving press conference is one where theWhite Houseinvites reporters to observe, and sometimes also interact/ask questions from the US President.

Trump's snap comment is not limited to the reporters, it seems. He also took a snap decision of demanding a vote recount in Wisconsin which backfired at him as the vote re-count ended with Joe Biden gaining a lead with a much larger margin than the original count. However, the Trump campaign may fire another legal challenge over the state count.
