During an interview published Tuesday, President Trump singled out two particular CBS reporters as being irritating.
According to The Daily Caller:
President Donald Trump trashed two CBS News reporters as being particularly irritating during a NY Post interview published Tuesday.
Trump often gets heated with reporters during the coronavirus press briefings and has gone after Paula Reid and Weijia Jiang, both CBS reporters, in the past. Trump brought up both during an exclusive interview with the NY Post and added that he doesn’t particularly mind the fights with journalists.
“It wasn’t Donna Reed, I can tell you that,” Trump said about the two. Reed was an actress well known for playing the high school sweetheart and wife in the movie “It’s A Wonderful Life.” Reed also played a mom and housewife in the sitcom “The Donna Reed Show.”
“Paula Reid, she’s sitting there and I say, ‘How angry. I mean, What’s the purpose?’ They’re not even tough questions, but you see the attitude of these people, it’s like incredible,” Trump added. “So you know, I enjoyed it.”

The President told me to be “nice and easy” three out of the last four times I asked him a question. https://t.co/RfptoMczVG
