President Donald Trump lashed out at a reporter from Australia who asked him whether it was “appropriate” that the president is enriching himself while in office.
Speaking to reporters at the White House before departing for his state visit to the U.K., Trump was asked by Australian Broadcasting Corporation journalist John Lyons whether a president in office “should be engaged in so much business activity” amid reports that Trump and his family have made billions since his return to power.
“Well, I’m really not. My kids are running the business. I’m here,” Trump replied before asking Lyons where he is from. “In my opinion, you are hurting Australia very much right now, and they want to get along with me.”
“You know your leader is coming over to see me very soon. I’m going to tell them about you. You set a very bad tone,” the president added in reference to Australia’s prime minister, Anthony Albanese, who is hoping to arrange an in-person meeting with Trump, but no date has been confirmed.
