"You Immediately Leave Here"- Trump Furious Over a Question of NBC Reporter
US President Donald Trump got angry when asked about the jet received from Qatar. He reprimanded the journalist for this question and said that his entire network should be investigated. Democrat leaders are constantly criticizing Trump for accepting expensive gifts from Qatar.
The incident took place when Trump was meeting South African President Cyril Ramaphosa at the White House on Wednesday. During this, NBC reporter Peter Alexander questioned him about the inclusion of Qatar's Boeing 747 as Air Force One in the future. Trump got angry after hearing this. The reporter asked, "Mr. President, the Department of Defense announced it would accept a Qatar jet to be used as Air Force One," prompting Trump to interrupt, saying, "What are you talking about?!"
What are you talking about? You know. You need to get out of here. What does this have to do with the Qatar jet...? They are giving a jet to the United States Air Force, and that is a very good thing. We are talking about a lot of other things, and this NBC is trying to get away from the topic. Which you just saw. You are a terrible reporter. Number one, you do not have what it takes to be a reporter. You are not smart enough to do this job. Trump told the reporter to leave immediately.
During a tense meeting with South African President Cyril Ramaphosa at the White House, Trump accused the reporter of distracting attention from more important issues such as violence against white farmers and racist laws in South Africa.
The US President said, your questions are disrespectful. NBC and its parent company CEO and President Brian Roberts should be investigated for their operations.
California-born Peter Alexander is the Chief White House Correspondent of NBC News. The angry president told him that you should go back to your studio at NBC, because Brian Roberts and the people who run that place should be investigated. The way you run that network is very bad.

In fact, US President Donald Trump has accepted an expensive Boeing 747 aircraft from Qatar, which is planned to be used as Air Force One in the future. This decision has created a political uproar in America. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has confirmed the acceptance of this aircraft. Pentagon spokesman Sean Parnell said that this decision has been taken under all federal rules and necessary changes will be made to make the aircraft safe for the use of the President.
Democrat leader Chuck Schumer in the Senate has termed this gift as suspicious and corrupt. He also said that until there is transparency, he will work to stop any political appointment of the Justice Department. He has also introduced a proposal which talks about banning the use of foreign aircraft as Air Force One. Along with this, in a Senate hearing, Democrat MP Tammy Duckworth said that it may cost more than a billion dollars to bring this plane up to safety standards, whereas we already have two fully capable Air Force One planes.
Amidst the continuous questions and answers, Trump defended this gift and said that when we can get the plane for free, then why should taxpayers' money be spent. He said that this will save the government's money. However, many leaders have said that it is against the US Constitution, which prohibits foreign gifts. Democrat leaders have called it a stain on the dignity of the presidency.
