The mainstream media thought they had President Trump cornered.
They were dead wrong.
And Donald Trump turned the tables on one reporter who made this huge mistake.
Reporter tries to ambush Trump with loaded question
President Donald Trump attended a private dinner Thursday night at his Trump National Golf Club.
The event honored the top 220 purchasers of his “$TRUMP” meme coin.
Democrats and their media allies immediately went into attack mode.
They couldn’t stand that Trump was meeting with supporters during his own personal time.
White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt shut down their phony outrage.
“The president is attending it in his personal time. It is not a White House dinner, it’s not taking place here at the White House,” Leavitt told reporters.
But the corrupt media wouldn’t let it go.
When Trump returned to the White House via Marine One, reporters were waiting like sharks smelling blood in the water.
As the President walked toward the South Portico, one reporter decided to scream questions over the helicopter noise.
What happened next exposed everything wrong with today’s so-called journalism.
Trump refuses to take the bait
The reporter started with a simple question about the dinner.
“Mr. President, how did you like the dinner?” the reporter shouted, according to press pool video.
Trump gave a straightforward answer.
“Good. Very good,” the President replied on the press pool video.
But then the reporter revealed his true agenda with a gotcha question designed to create a fake scandal.
“Are people buying influence with you?” the reporter screamed, heard on the press pool video.
It was a disgusting accusation wrapped up as a question.
Instead of dignifying the smear with a response, Trump did exactly what millions of Americans wished they could do.
He ignored the hack reporter and walked straight into the White House.
The reporter was left standing there looking like a fool.
Media’s desperation reaches new lows
This pathetic ambush shows just how desperate the mainstream media has become.
They can’t attack Trump’s policies because they’re working.
The economy is booming under his leadership.
He’s securing the border and putting America First.
So they resort to manufacturing controversies out of thin air.
Critics have been attacking Trump’s crypto ventures as corruption schemes.
But there’s nothing corrupt about a businessman conducting legitimate business.
The “$TRUMP” meme coin has been particularly triggering for Trump’s enemies.
They see it as another opportunity to take cheap shots at the President.
Trump also faced questions about his family’s cryptocurrency firm World Liberty Financial.
The company’s USD1 currency was selected by a UAE firm for a $2 billion investment deal.
When pressed about it, Trump said he was “a big crypto fan” but didn’t know much about the specific transaction.
Trump shows how to handle fake news
President Trump’s response was perfect.
He answered the legitimate question about his dinner.
Then he completely ignored the loaded attack disguised as journalism.
It’s exactly how every politician should handle the corrupt media.
The same reporters who spent four years covering for Joe Biden’s disasters are now screaming accusations at Trump.
They gave Biden a pass on everything from the Afghanistan withdrawal to the border crisis.
But they want to turn Trump’s private dinner into some kind of scandal.
Americans see right through this garbage.
They elected Trump because he fights back against the swamp creatures in Washington, D.C.
That includes the media lapdogs who do the Democrat Party’s bidding.
The reporter thought he was being clever with his ambush tactics.
Instead, he made himself look like exactly what he is – a partisan hack pretending to be a journalist.
Trump walked away with his dignity intact while the reporter was left shouting into the wind.
Trump continues winning while media melts down
This latest media meltdown won’t slow Trump down for one second.
He’s too busy delivering on his promises to the American people.
While reporters are screaming gotcha questions on the White House lawn, Trump is making America great again.
The crypto dinner was just Trump meeting with supporters who believe in his vision for the country.
But the media wants to criminalize everything Trump does.
They can’t accept that he won a landslide victory and has a mandate from the American people.
So they’ll keep manufacturing fake controversies while Trump keeps winning.
The reporter’s ambush backfired spectacularly.
It showed Americans exactly who the real problem is in Washington, D.C.
It’s not Donald Trump.
It’s the corrupt media establishment that’s been lying to the American people for decades.
Trump’s refusal to engage with their loaded questions was a masterclass in how to handle fake news.
