Donald Trump refused to answer a question from CNN while addressing the press for the first time in almost six months.
Speaking at a news conference from Trump Tower, the president-elect opened the floor to questions from journalists yet shut down a CNN’s senior White House correspondent Jim Acosta after he attempted to pose a question.

Moments before, Trump had condemned BuzzFeed News and CNN for reporting on a leaked dossier containing allegations that Russia holds compromising information about him.
“I think it’s a disgrace that information that was false and fake, and never happened, got released to the public,” he said before referring to BuzzFeed News as “a failing pile of garbage”.


“Since you’re attacking our publication, could you give us a chance to ask a question, Sir?” CNN correspondent Acosta asked Trump, only to be ignored. Acosta called out to the president-elect again who told him to be quiet.
“I’m not going to give you a question because you are fake news,” Trump said to Acosta.
Trump’s refusal to allow the CNN correspondent the chance to talk was met with backlash from much of the public, many of which slated him for his lack of professionalism.

America is doomed


Sarcastically I love this . Don't mess with emperor trump. If he says keep quiet, you better shut up . I see freedom of information in U.S. collapsing during Trumps administration

Lmao, like seriously doomed.
A president wey dem neva swear for behaving like this

It was funny but someone needed to tell CNN the truth and here was Donald.

sweerychick:

Doomed as in how? Because Trump said the obvious truth? Better keep praying for our sinking country Nigeria than praying for an about-to-be unchained country USA.

sweerychick:

We're not doomed.

It'll work out. Donald will get his comeuppance soon enough from the media.

#MySignatureMyBusiness#

CNN has being unprofessional of recent

Always painting Trump black.


Yeye people


CNN, give Trump a chance to fail or succeed

It' true. CNN was highly biased while reporting the election. I was disappointed!

lol. Very apt but funny.

Trump is like fayose... say it as it is, you cant please everyone, he knows they would only twist his response.

This man will surely be impeached unless he calms down. Politics isn't a Trump business as usual.

Which truth? A public official that cannot stand scrutiny by the press - truth, lies or gabbage, should not even run for office in the first place. It is you guys that almost crucified president elect Buhari for refusing AIT from covering his activities, but you are applauding Trump for victimizing CNN. I wonder what you suggest Buhari should do to Sahara reporters.

Trump is too emotional, narcissist and unstable to be president, I hope he does not drag the US into unnecessary conflicts.

What truth? If actually CNN is trying to paint the president elect black, does he have to behave in such manner publicly? He just shows he won't be a good leader. Anyway USA has gotten themselves a tyrant as a leader.

ALL news media are bias. even Nairaland mods are bias. Are you suggesting a president should censor news agencies that shows bias against himself or his government? Are you suggesting press Freedom laws should be abrogated?

At least, after the debate I watched, he didn't do badly. But the correspondents and reporters, my God, they literally projected Hillary as the epitome of everything the electorate desires even in the face of glaring faults. Media houses must be objective!

That the truth, most ppl cnn brings to their show are anti trump and this election shows that the democrat has no joy with their screaming, nobody is talking of probing kliton all eyes are on trump mistake: abge u are fake news
