Wow! Kudos to the ABC reporter that asked the question of the Saudi Prince. [View all]

Trump was livid! He never expected his subservient "fake" news reporters to ask such a question inside the Oval Office. After all, he just finished calling one of them "Piggy". He believed he had them completely under control and then this ABC reporter embarrasses him in front of one of his favorite people, the Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia.

And it was a two-part question. She asked Trump the first question about the legality of his family doing business with foreign countries. Trump denied that was the case, even as he sat there bragging about the deals he was making with the Saudi Prince, with F-35s and AI technology. Of course, he and his family are profiting off the White House.

It was an enlightening moment.
