President Donald Trump seemed to be harboring some anger at the Fox world Friday after Fox Business Network’s Maria Bartiromo pushed back on the President’s John McCain insults.

“The President is not happy with us this morning,” Fox News reporter John Roberts said with a chuckle after Trump spoke to reporters on the South Lawn. “He glared at me like I’ve never seen him glare at me before.”

“Whoa!” said host Jon Scott. “We’ll have to get to the bottom of that.”

During Trump’s interview with Bartiromo, he bristled at her McCain line of questioning, saying that he thought she “wasn’t supposed to bring it up” but adding with a shrug “that’s okay, fake news every once in a while.”

Bartiromo pushed back, saying: “It’s not fake news, you just told me why you have an issue with him.”

  1. I think “fake news” is when the reporter and the interviewee collude in advance as to the topic of the interview. What gave Drumpf the impression that the McCain question “wasn’t supposed to come up”? there’s the real question here.

  2. “Whoa!” said host Jon Scott. “We’ll have to get to the bottom of that.”

    just made me chuckle a little bit

  3. Donald realizing the walls are all falling down around him and soon everyone will see his tiny penis, so he’s taking it out on even his supporters at Fox?

  4. Well, it’s interesting. Interesting that it happened. Interesting that they mentioned it. I’m sure we shouldn’t make too much of it, like Soviet-era Kremlinologists analyzing the implications of some official’s absence from a reviewing stand, but they’re the ones who brought it up. :innocent:
