US President Trump got angry at a journalist over a question about the Qatari plane

During a meeting in the Oval Office with the President of South Africa, a journalist asked Trump about the Qatari plane accepted by the US. In response, Trump openly became furious with the correspondent, calling him a 'disgrace' and stating that he should leave the office.

The Pentagon announced that it will accept the Qatari plane for use as Air Force One

The president also accused the journalist of spreading fake news and expressed a desire to investigate the executives of the television channel. Trump also called the correspondent 'not smart enough' and suggested that he 'should fail.'

Moreover, Trump claims that the Qatari plane has been transferred to the American armed forces. It is noted that the Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs of Qatar stated that the transfer of the plane is an 'intergovernmental agreement' rather than a gift, but this step could turn out to be the most valuable gift from a foreign state to the US.

In this case, we see that the interaction between journalists and politicians can provoke strong emotions and conflicts. It is important to remain objective and respect each other regardless of views.
