The mainstream media don’t know when to call it quits. Instead they’ll keep egging Trump on.
But now Trump body-slammed a CNN reporter for asking one ridiculous question.
Trump Brushes Off CNN Question Amid White House Briefing
During a White House roundtable on Antifa on Wednesday, President Trump sharply rebuffed a query from CNN’s senior White House correspondent Kristen Holmes, linking her dismissal to her network affiliation and opting to skip her entirely.
The exchange unfolded as Secretary of State Marco Rubio handed Trump a note on the emerging Israel-Hamas cease-fire announcement.
As reporters posed questions, Holmes sought clarification on Trump’s involvement in the peace process: “Are you personally participating?”
Trump interrupted immediately, addressing the room’s senior officials: “This is CNN speaking, by the way.” “So, you know, this is one of the worst reporters that you’ll ever see.” “I don’t even want to take her question. It’s a waste of time,” he added with a wave of his hand.
He promptly shifted to the following journalist, bypassing further engagement.
Unveiling Phase One of Middle East Peace Initiative
In a Wednesday Truth Social update, Trump disclosed that Hamas and Israel had endorsed the initial stage of his comprehensive 20-point Middle East framework, signaling a potential turning point in the protracted conflict.
“The big thing is hostages are going to be released probably, our time, would be, probably Monday,” Trump shared in a subsequent Fox News interview with Sean Hannity, outlining key elements of the accord.
A high-ranking White House aide indicated the pact, which includes a temporary halt to Gaza hostilities, awaits Israeli cabinet ratification on Thursday.
Provisions call for partial Israeli military withdrawals from select Gaza areas.
Personal Outreach to Hostage Families on Deal Progress
Shortly after the reveal, Trump connected with relatives of the captives, who were gathered alongside Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick, assuring them of an imminent resolution: “they’re all coming back on Monday.”
Trump framed his mediation role as a “great honor to be involved” in what he called “probably the biggest deal ever made.”
