NBC Reporter Hits Trump With Blunt Reminder After He Calls It 'One Of The Worst Networks'

After fielding a question from an NBC reporter about his economic agenda's "inconsistency," President Trump attempted to trash the network in response—and was hit with a hilariously blunt reminder.

Republican President Donald Trump fired back at an NBC reporter in the Oval Office inquiring about the "inconsistency" in his economic agenda, citing his "on and off" tariff wars with Canada and Mexico.

On Tuesday in response to Ontario's 25% tariff on electricity exports to the U.S., Trump stated on Truth Social that there would be an additional 25% tariff on steel and aluminum from Canada, raising the tax to 50% overall since his initial 25% tax implementation on Canadian imports in February.


Trump reversed the increase after Ontario Premier Doug Ford temporarily suspended the planned 25% surcharge on electricity coming into the U.S. The back-and-forth threw the stock market into chaos, leading investors and economists to become increasingly concerned about the U.S. economy.

During Wednesday's White House briefing with Irish Prime Minister Micheál Martin, Trump responded to the NBC reporter by asserting there was "no inconsistency" before railing against the network, adding:

"Only with NBC, which is one of the worst networks on television, by the way."

"Let me just tell you the inconsistency," the President began as the NBC reporter reminded him:

"It was your home for a long time."

Here's a clip.

As the reporter mentioned, NBC was host to Trump's competition reality show The Apprentice, where the then-real estate mogul served as host and producer for the program for several seasons since starting in 2004.

It also put the future President on the map towards a political career.

Nevertheless, Trump ignored the reporter's reminder that NBC essentially helped launch his celebrity persona, and he continued saying he has "the right to adjust" and that his M.O. is all about "flexibility, not inconsistency."

Social media users shared thoughts on his mantra of being malleable.






People are already familiar with his telling hand gesture.



The move was classic Trump.

Trump Bizarrely Clashes With Reporter Over Photoshopped 'Tattoo' On Abrego Garcia's Knuckles

President Donald Trump sparked criticism after claiming during an interview with ABC News’ Terry Moran that an edited photo depicting tattoos of wrongly-deported Maryland father Kilmar Abrego Garcia showed that he has an alleged connection to the MS-13 gang.

Abrego Garcia, a Salvadoran national who arrived in the U.S. in 2012, was labeled a threat in 2019 due to an alleged connection to MS-13. He spent months in detention before an immigration judge found he had a credible fear of persecution—not from MS-13, but from a rival group, Barrio 18, which he said had been extorting his family.

Leavitt Lashes Out At Amazon Over 'Hostile' Plan To Display Added Tariff Costs For Products On Website

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt lashed out at Amazon over news that the commerce giant planned to display increased "import charges" on items on their Amazon Haul website, essentially showing to customers the extra money they'd have to shell out as a result of President Donald Trump's tariffs.

Trump has escalated a growing trade war by imposing tariffs of up to 145% on Chinese imports, prompting China to retaliate with its own 125% tariffs on American goods. Additionally, the U.S. has slapped a 10% tax on imports from most other countries, while temporarily suspending higher rates for several nations for 90 days.
