As soon as he acts like that every reporter should ask the same question.
Thank you Queen for holding your ground with that uneducated clown. 👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿💪🏿💪🏿💪🏿💪🏿
I wish the media didn’t have to go there because he insults everyone. He should come to an empty room. No cameras will shock his system!
Every derogatory name he hurls at someone, describes him perfectly.
He talks to reporters like that. Yet the networks are bending over backwards to appease him.
To call him a human being, is giving him too much, he's just a being.
She said I’m tired today smh, I felt that in my spirit 🙏🏾
He's so Rude, dumb and stupid anyone that speaks up to him he wants to call them names when he's the worst person for this job and hes sickening 😡
This is what the people put in the office.
I don’t understand why reporters don’t call out this childish behavior more often
