The reporter starts out by saying that neither he nor his colleagues believe Donnie is antisemitic. He wants to know what Donnie plans on doing about the rise in antisemitic violence.
To which Donnie goes on a rant about how nobody loves the Jews more than him, and how dare the journalist imply that Donnie hates Jews.
Huh???
ETA: even tho I saw it live, and knew what I saw, since I'm being questioned on the validity of this OP, I searched the internet and found numerous articles on it (imagine that, someone can easily look up something they question)
Trump was taking questions from reporters at the East Room of the White House, his first solo press conference since taking office. About an hour into the conference, Jake Turx, a reporter for the haredi Ami Magazine, asked Trump about the administration's plan to handle the rise in anti-Semitic incidents across the United States, and noted the recent waves of bomb threats against Jewish centers throughout the country.
Sharing is caring. Spread the word
Though Turx started his question by telling Trump that no one in the Jewish community is accusing him or his staff of anti-Semitism, Trump took it personally.
Trump cut off the reporter before he finished his question, saying that the question was not a fair one. "Sit down, I understand the rest of your question," Trump said.
"Number one: I'm the least anti-Semitic person you have ever seen in your entire life," Trump continued.
"Number two: Racism. The least racist person." Trump said. The reporter then interrupted Trump and attempted to complete his question, when he was again cut off by the president, who proceeded to call him a liar.
"Quiet quiet quiet, he told someone in the audience who had interjected him. You see, he lied about he's going to ask a simple question. It's not a straight simple question. Welcome to the world of the media."
"Let me tell you something," Trump said. "I hate the charge. I find it repulsive."
Appearing to mispronounce Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahus name when mentioning their joint White House press conference, Trump continued:
Now defend this, Trumpkins, go ahead.

Mikey, you are quite possibly the most stupid person I have ever come across in my life. How do you even function day to day?
