The President, who has been heavily critical of CNN for alleged "fake news," laid into the BBC as he compared the two corporations.

Speaking at a press conference in Washington on Thursday, the President bashed the BBC.

During the hour-long press conference, President Trump criticised the media for their coverage over possible links between the billionaire's team and Russian officials.

The President then turned on BBC North America editor Jon Sopel after he attempted to quiz the 70-year-old over his travel ban.

In the footage, the reporter can be heard saying: "Can I ask you, thank you Mr President."

However Mr Trump quickly cut off the journalist, demanding he revealed what organisation he worked for.

After Sopel said he worked for the BBC, the President snapped back: "Here's another beauty."

Leaving many laughing in the background, the journalist tried biting back as he replied: "Impartial, free and fair."

However as the journalist then tried to then ask the President his question he was interrupted again in a ruthless manner.

Mr Trump fumed: "You're just like CNN."

The President continued to control the interaction before he answered the question, as the reporter described their squabble as "banter."

Mr Trump said: "Wait, wait, wait. I know who you are just wait."

As Mr Trump began to answer the journalist, the BBC reporter was forced to sit back down.

In reply to Sopel's question the President insisted that the controversial travel ban worked exactly as he had planned, before he targeted the US court's.

He said: "We had a very smooth roll out of the travel ban."

"But we had a bad decision, that is the only thing that was wrong with the travel ban. Very bad for the safety and the security of our country."

In his boisterous press conference the President clashed with media several times over fake news in which he blamed journalists for the criticism he has faced.

He said: "There is nobody I have more respect for, well maybe a little bit, than reporters, good reporters. It's very important to me, especially in this position, it's very important.

"I don't mind bad stories, I can handle a bad story better than anybody, as long as it's true."

nice

jose556:


The world has yet another wonder

SmartMugu:


This man is indeed a clown. He has failed to realize money, power and respect is all he needs. He has money, he has power, but doesn't know how to get the respect piece of the puzzle.

plainol:


Is this the same America everyone aspire to be? I don't think so.

I want to see how Americans will handle this bad imaging, maybe they'll leave Trump to continue to do the damage.

TPAND:


Trump never ceases to amaze with this is CNN take down.

No one messes with Trump. You can do that to baby Obama not Trump

Appleyard:


CNN is a God of good news when compares to BBSin-Satan news network that never sees anything positive in Africa.

OLAADEGBU:


Those who respected him voted him into power, and as far as I can recollect, they carry the majority of the votes.

SmartMugu:


He lost popular votes. He was rigged in via electoral votes. There are evidence the electoral system was hacked.

OLAADEGBU:


I believe its the other way round. Hillary won the popular votes especially in California because of illegal votes. The electoral votes was not hacked don't believe the propaganda.

Before nko, BBC is the father of propaganda. CNN is just son and you still have grandsons of propaganda like Aljezera, anything times (e.g times of India, NewYork Times, Moscow times) also anything Voice like voice of Africa, America, Russia and so on.. These are agents of propaganda (Super structure network of lies and misinformation)

scully95:


Do you mean the Electoral vote was not rigged ? How about Sanders' ?
The Neocons Openly rigged the votes in favour of Killary Killton against Sanders. Why can't the same Neocons rig the majority vote against trump but the College vote was a miscalculation

Even trump said it, that they rigged the Electoral vote, i believe him after what they did to Sanders. (mere 3rd world crooks acting as village masters in the game)

Branzy:



I was shocked when their India British presenter I don't her name said some nation referring to south American and Africans accept corruption as if it was in our culture when they were discussing about corruption in sports .. corrupt and colonizers Brit's are the rest western gang stars

OLAADEGBU:


Donald Trump actually compared CNN to BBC when he said "another beauty" sarcastically.

Appleyard:


Sarcastically alright. But the last US election completely exposed what CNN and other MSM truly represent. It was a pathetic show of shame that won't go away for a very long time.

OLAADEGBU:


They don't have any shame anymore, especially that Anderson Cooper of a guy.

Muafrika2:


Anderson Cooper? This is just hate

Muafrika2:


But no need to blame them. They just read through what they are fed on - to feed us - on air.
If you had your own TV channel, you'd also hate on Obama and attempt to pass off Trump as a saviour

OLAADEGBU:


How is this hate? What I expected from you is to ask for the reason why I came to that conclusion but I guess you've bitten into their propaganda.

Muafrika2:


I haven't watched CNN for years

So what's the reason for the hate
