The incident unfolded as credentialed reporters were invited into the Oval Office but immediately began screaming questions, refusing to allow the President to speak or answer other journalists.
White House Calls Out 'Fake News Hacks'
The @RapidResponse47 account posted video of the chaotic scene, writing: "Listen to how obnoxiously these Fake News hacks act when they're invited inside the Oval Office — screaming at the top of their lungs. It's disgraceful. These clowns have absolutely no respect."
In the first clip, President Trump attempts to move the event forward, saying, "We're done now. Wait. Wait. Wait. Go ahead. Can I just ask you about Trump account?" The persistent interruptions only continued.
President Confronts Unhinged Reporter
A second post from the rapid response team asked, "Seriously, what is wrong with these Fake News losers?" The accompanying video captured the President telling one combative journalist, "I'm not point you better you better I don't know who the hell you are but you better be careful go ahead."
The third and most widely shared video showed President Trump directly confronting reporter Andrew Feinberg, asking him, "What's wrong with you? Are you a sick person? I actually think there's something wrong with you."
The transcript continues: "You won't want to go away, won't you, why it's quiet? It's wrong with you. You're a sick person. Mr. President, I think there's something wrong with you. I want to ask Mr. President."

No Respect for the Office
The clips painted a picture of a press corps that expects access but refuses to show basic decorum. When President Trump attempted to restore order and take questions properly, reporters continued to talk over him and one another, forcing him to call out their misconduct directly.
The White House made clear that such behavior will not be tolerated, with the rapid response account amplifying the videos to millions and dismissing the journalists involved as "clowns" and "losers" who have "absolutely no respect."
