Donald Trump Melts Down as He Hurls Insults at Reporters During Oval Office Press Briefing: Watch

Donald Trump faced off with NBC News correspondent Peter Alexander during a press briefing meltdown in the Oval Office on Wednesday, May 21.

The confrontation kicked off as the president and Elon Musk were promoting their outlandish claim that white South African "Afrikaners" are facing "genocide."

During a bilateral meeting with South African President Cyril Ramaphosa, Trump did not hold back when Alexander pressed him on his refugee policy.

Alexander asked: "Mr. President, you’ve welcomed white Afrikaner refugees here, can you explain to Americans why it’s appropriate to welcome white Afrikaans here when other refugees like Afghans, Venezuelans, Haitians have all had their protective status revoked?"

Trump snapped back and told the NBC reporter, "Well, this is a group, NBC, that is truly fake news. They ask a lot of questions in a very pointed way. They’re not questions, they’re statements."

Moments later, Alexander struck again, raising concerns about the luxurious $400 million jet Trump accepted from Qatar to serve as Air Force One.

The reporter pointed out: "Mr. President, the Pentagon announced that it would be accepting a Qatari jet to be used as Air Force One." A clearly frustrated Trump asked, "What are you talking about? You know, you need to get out of here! What does this have to do with the Qatari jet? They’re giving the United States Air Force a jet, okay? And it’s a great thing."

"We’re talking about a lot of other things. It’s NBC trying to get off the subject of what you just saw. You are a real — you know, you’re a terrible reporter," the commander-in-chief continued to rant. "Number one, you don’t have what it takes to be a reporter. You’re not smart enough. But for you to go onto a subject about a jet that was given to the United States Air Force, which is a very nice thing, they also gave $5.1 trillion worth of investment in addition to the jet."
