Trump shoves right-wing network Newsmax aside to talk to CNN

President Donald Trump clashed with a far-right reporter on Monday morning as he left Palm Beach, Florida, where he spends his weekends.

Speaking to reporters at the base of his stairs at the airport, the president shouted questions at the reporters. One began asking about the ICE agents deployed to American airports and was about to ask a question about it when Trump asked, "Who are you with?"

He said he was with Newsmax.

"You're not doing a very good job," Trup said.

The reporter ignored the slight, continuing to ask about ICE agents deployed to airports, but Trump interrupted.

"You're not doing a good job. Did you hear me?" Trump said and turned to take a question from someone else.

"I'm taking CNN over Newsmax. Can you believe it?" he asked no one in particular.

Trump has a long history of attacking media outlets and individual journalists who ask tough questions or report unfavorably on his administration. Newsmax, a conservative cable news network, has generally been sympathetic to Trump, though the president has occasionally criticized the outlet when he feels it hasn't provided sufficiently favorable coverage.

Trump frequently praises Fox News while attacking CNN, MS Now, and other mainstream media organizations he labels as "fake news."The clash at Palm Beach International Airport comes as Trump faces mounting criticism over his administration's policies, including the deployment of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents to airports across the country. The move has drawn concerns from civil liberties advocates and some lawmakers who worry about racial profiling and the militarization of civilian spaces.

Trump has defended the airport deployments as necessary to address security concerns and enforce immigration laws.Trump's public criticism of individual reporters is part of a broader pattern of attacking the media that has continued throughout his political career. He frequently uses social media and public appearances to challenge journalists' credibility and question their motives, often referring to critical coverage as "enemy of the people" rhetoric.
