President Donald Trump admonished a reporter Tuesday after the reporter asked him a question and then interrupted him while he was giving his answer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The reporter was NewsNation White House correspondent Libbey Dean. She asked if Iran has to make a deal for the U.S. to stop military operations against the nation and whether Trump has spoken to the country’s new leader.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“No, Iran doesn\u2019t have to make a deal, no,” he said. “I\u2019ve spoken to a lot of people. It\u2019s a new regime. They are much more accessible. They are right. You know, they said, \u2018We have a present for you, Mr. President, out of respect.\u2019 And they said \u2026”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dean interrupted Trump’s response, leading the president to push back against her.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“Wait a minute. Do you want me to answer the question? You\u2019re a fresh person. You know? We\u2019ve had a lot of problems with you, haven\u2019t we?” he asked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“Uh, no, they don\u2019t. You asked me a question. No, they don\u2019t have to make a deal with me. When we feel that they are for a long period of time, put into the Stone Ages, and they won\u2019t be able to come up with a nuclear weapon, then we\u2019ll leave, whether we have a deal or not. It\u2019s irrelevant.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He added it was “possible” for a deal to be reached between Iran and the U.S., but that it wasn’t necessary to end operations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Trump added that there needed to be efforts to “straighten out our media” because people don’t believe mainstream outlets anymore.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“When you get 93 to 97 [percent] bad stories, bad press, and you win in a landslide, do you know what that says? People don’t believe the press,” Trump said. “And when people don’t believe the press, that’s a very bad thing for our country.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
During the same press conference, Trump indicated the U.S. will finish attacking Iran within two to three weeks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“I had one goal: They will have no nuclear weapon. And that goal has been attained. They will not have nuclear weapons,” Trump said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“But we’re finishing the job. And I think, within maybe two weeks, maybe a couple a days longer, to do the job,” he said. “Now, it’s possible that we’ll make a deal before that.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Trump will deliver an address to the nation about the ongoing Iran war Wednesday night.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
