‘You Don’t Know Anything!’ Trump Snaps at Reporter Asking What His Plan Is With Iran

 

President Donald Trump went off on ABC News White House correspondent Mary Bruce during a Tuesday press conference in the Oval Office after she asked him about the Iran war, with the president saying she didn’t know “anything” about the conflict.

“Mr. President, there are no signs that Iran is ready to stop fighting, so what is the plan? Is the plan to just keep fighting until they give up?” Bruce asked.

The president was agitated by the question and bashed her for it.

“How would you know there are no signs? Why, do you know something that I don’t know?” he shot back.

‘Well, they continue to attack our allies and kill Americans—” Bruce started to respond, before Trump cut her off.

“You don’t know what the dialogue is behind the scenes. They want to meet desperately to try and end it, because they’re getting decimated. You don’t get that when you’re listening to your fake station, but you don’t know anything.”

Bruce started to ask if talks were ongoing, as Trump continued peppering her with questions.

“You know something I don’t know? Do you know something I don’t know?” he said.

“Well tell us,” Bruce said.

“I will tell you they want to desperately meet, and until they are ready to meet in a meaningful way, we have no interest,” Trump answered.

The president previously branded Bruce a “terrible person” last year when she asked him questions about Jeffrey Epstein and his family’s business deals in Saudi Arabia.

Their feisty exchange on Tuesday followed an Iranian attack on a military base in Jordan that killed two American soldiers last weekend. The U.S. has responded with more military strikes, which reached 10 consecutive days on Monday.

“They did slip something through,” Trump said about the Jordan attack a bit later in the Tuesday press conference.

He reiterated his administration’s goal is for Iran to never obtain a nuclear weapon.
