ABC (Australia) barred from Trump's UK press conference after his clash with Australian journalist John Lyons [View all]
The ABC has been barred from attending Donald Trump’s press conference near London this week after a clash between the broadcaster’s Americas editor, John Lyons, and the president in Washington DC over his business dealings.

Lyons, who is reporting for Four Corners, drew the ire of the president on Tuesday when he asked Trump how much wealthier he had become since returning to the Oval Office for his second term in January.
Trump accused the reporter of “hurting Australia” with the line of questioning.
“In my opinion, you are hurting Australia very much right now,” Trump said. “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 him about you. You set a very bad tone. You can set a nicer tone.”
Trump subsequently told Lyons: “Quiet.”

What a fucking sook! He thinks dobbing someone in for saying something he doesn't like is presidential behaviour? John Lyons has got the full backing of both sides of politics here.
