President Trump spoke with press members. They were gathered in the Oval Office on 17 August 2026. He dismissed criticism about the USS Lincoln. He lost his temper real fast. Trump yelled at a female CNN reporter. She asked about the leader of North Korea. He told her to be quiet. He called her a fake news CNN reporter. He said she was extremely rude.
Trump stayed mad the whole meeting. The confrontation happened right in the room. He also put a 10-year-old on the spot during the Oval Office exchange.
