Trump slams NBC reporter after Qatari jet question

President Donald Trump launched a furious attack on NBC's 'jerk' reporter Peter Alexander on Wednesday during the same Oval Office session where he shamed South Africa 's president for an alleged 'white genocide.' Alexander was among the members of the White House press pool who filed into the Oval Office to see Trump's dramatic attack on South African President Cyril Ramaphosa. Trump rolled clips that he said showcased the graves of dead white farmers and showcased video of a South African politician singing 'Shoot the Boer, Shoot the farmer,' an anti-apartheid tune that white Afrikaner lobby groups have tried to get banned. Trump really lost it on the veteran journalist when he asked about the Qatari plane being given to the Department of Defense directly after Trump rolled the video clips showing 'white genocide.'' 'It's NBC trying to get off the subject of what you just saw,' Trump complained. 'No. 1, you don't have what it takes to be a reporter, you're not smart enough. For you go onto a subject that - a jet that was given to the United States Air Force, which was a very nice thing,' the president continued. 'You ought to go back to your studio at NBC.' He then called on those running the network to be investigated. 'You are a disgrace, no more questions from you!' Trump told Alexander. The insults continued throughout the 63 minutes the press was allowed into the meeting with Ramaphosa. 'There are all white farmers being buried and he asks about a jet that was given. You outta be ashamed of yourself. You are so bad, you're such a bad reporter,' Trump chided. The news had broken earlier Wednesday that the Pentagon had officially accepted the luxury Boeing jet from the Qataris to be turned into a temporary Air Force One. The deal was first reported ahead of Trump's trip to the Middle East last week to Saudi Arabia, Qatar and the United Arab Emirates. A number of watchdog groups and security experts have raised concerns about how a jet made for Qatar's royal family could be retrofitted into an Air Force One - which essentially needs to be a flying Situation Room. '"So why did they gave us a plane to the United States Air Force?" that's what that idiot talks about after viewing a thing where thousands of people are dead,' Trump said.

Trump launches volcanic tirade on 'jerk' TV reporter in angriest ever Oval Office attack on media

President Donald Trump launched a furious attack on NBC's 'jerk' reporter Peter Alexander on Wednesday during the same Oval Office session where he shamed South Africa 's president for an alleged 'white genocide.' Alexander was among the members of the White House press pool who filed into the Oval Office to see Trump's dramatic attack on South African President Cyril Ramaphosa. Trump rolled clips that he said showcased the graves of dead white farmers and showcased video of a South African politician singing 'Shoot the Boer, Shoot the farmer,' an anti-apartheid tune that white Afrikaner lobby groups have tried to get banned. As a subplot, the U.S. president threw several verbal bombs toward Alexander, who started off the Q&A by asking Trump why the U.S. was welcoming white South Africans and not Afghan and Venezuelan refugees. 'Well, this is a group, NBC, that is truly fake news,' Trump replied. Trump really lost it on the veteran journalist when he asked about the Qatari plane being given to the Department of Defense directly after Trump rolled the video clips showing 'white genocide.'' 'It's NBC trying to get off the subject of what you just saw,' Trump complained. 'No. 1, you don't have what it takes to be a reporter, you're not smart enough.

Ramaphosa used the moment as an opportunity to take the tone down in the room. 'I'm sorry I don't have a plane to give you,' the South African leader joked.
