Trump has savage 5-word response to reporter after learning where he worked

The president provided a very 'Trump' response to a reporter on Capitol Hill

Donald Trump had a savage five-word response to a reporter after the president discovered the media outlet he works for.

There's no doubt the Republican president is certainly unconventional compared to many of his predecessors, and just taking a look at some of his media appearances makes that pretty apparent.

The cameras are often present in the Oval Office as Trump announces new policy changes to the world, but that isn't the only place the media follow the president around.

The Republican president spoke to the media on Capitol Hill after his 'beautiful bill' meeting with his party on Tuesday (20 May).

A journalist from NOTUS asked: "Andy Harris said that you didn’t adequately convince enough people to vote for the bill?"

Trump then replied asking the reporter what publication he worked for, to which he replied NOTUS.

"Who? I don't even know what the hell that is. Get yourself a real job," the president replied. Ouch.

NOTUS describes itself as 'a new Washington publication from the nonprofit, nonpartisan Allbritton Journalism Institute', with the publication focusing its coverage on US politics.

"It is produced by a newsroom of experienced journalists and emerging reporters, and is funded by donors and grants," a description of the publication reads.

The yet another infamous Trump media interaction has gone viral on Twitter, as one person commented: "Another banger, I fear."

A second added: "Trump’s dismissal of the NOTUS reporter shows his contempt for smaller media outlets." While a third remarked: "Classic Trump."

It comes just weeks after Trump shut down a journalist with a brutal seven-word response after a microphone hit him in the face.

The extended could be seen touching Trump's mouth and sliding across his face during a live broadcast, and he even attempted to lean back to stop it from touching him further.

The miscalculated effort to capture Trump's voice saw the president get the brunt of the equipment, causing him to glare at the interviewee.

Perhaps unsurprisingly, Trump was quick to make a comment after the fuzzy mic touched his face.

He was heard stating: “She just became a big story tonight... She just made television tonight.”

While the 47th POTUS appeared to be upset over the mishap, he also went on to look amused as he initially looked unimpressed with the reporter, before raising his eyebrows and then laughing.
