President Donald Trump did not take kindly to being asked whether he believed bombing civilian power plants and bridges would constitute war crimes after he threatened to do just that in Iran.
The president, 80, was taking questions from reporters in the Oval Office when he was asked about his threat this week on Truth Social.
“You’re talking about blowing up civilian power plants and bridges. Much of the civilized world would consider that a war crime. Do you?” the reporter asked Trump point blank.
The president paused for a moment before deciding it was probably best not to answer the question at all, which had clearly annoyed him.
“Uhhh, I won’t respond to that question,” Trump said before demanding to know which outlet the reporter worked for.
“The New York Times,” the reporter responded.
“I figured so; the failing New York Times,” Trump said before turning away.
HE ordered the targeting of civilians (remember the girls school?) and civilian infrastructure. War criminals are held to account. If you don’t wanna be a war criminal held to account, stop doing war crimes.
True but if all their journalists are either being banned from the whitehouse for asking difficult questions or are quitting in protest then they’ll probably be doing a cost benefit analysis to determine what is going to effect them financially
