What happened during the disastrous White House press conference?
Mr. Minister of Budget, what kind of signs do you see in the air at the moment? No signs at all. Instead, I see amazing signs on the streets, on the streets, on the slopes, wherever and on the ground. What are you talking about? I'm talking about the winter season of Budgesport. I mean, what? Whatever, all the signs are coming from there. We're offering the best signs with a 60% discount. Budgesport.fi. Fortune presents. Six-year-old Ada plays her favorite song. Not funny, but let's add a little energy.
Donald Trump's White House is panicking.
They just held a disastrous press conference. Caroline Levitt, Donald Trump's chief propagandist, just started lying about what democrats said about donald trump and the press called her out for it and then she literally ran off of the stage while she was giving this press conference watch what took place here let's play it uh and you will hear more about that later thank you And then Caroline Leavitt before that was asked by the press, what did Donald Trump mean when he called one of the members of the press a female reporter from Bloomberg? Piggy. When he called her Piggy, what did he mean by that? And Caroline Leavitt was like, that's how he should treat you because he's being transparent. So he's calling you what you are.
That's basically what she said, that she deserved to be called Piggy. That's disgusting. This is what you're teaching our children, the next generation? How horrible. Here, play this clip.
Tomorrow and I'll let the president speak for himself. Natalie.
Thank you, Caroline. What did the president mean when he called reporter Piggy?
Look, the president is very frank and honest with everyone in this room. You've all seen it yourself. You've all experienced it yourselves. And I think it's one of the many reasons that the American people reelected this president because of his frankness. And he calls out fake news when he sees it. He gets frustrated with reporters when you lie about him, when you spread fake news about him and his administration. But he also is the most transparent president in history.
How did Caroline Leavitt respond to questions from the press?
And he gives all of you in this room, as you all know, unprecedented access. You are in the Oval Office almost every day asking the president questions. And so I think the president being frank and open and honest to your faces rather than hiding behind your backs is frankly a lot more respectful than what you saw in the last administration where you had a president who lied to your face and then didn't speak to you for weeks and hid upstairs and didn't take your questions. So I think everyone in this room should appreciate the frankness and the openness that you get from President Trump on a near daily basis.
Then she goes and attacks the president of South Africa, Ramaphosa, and she's like, he needs to stop running his mouth right now. Tell the president of South Africa to stop running his mouth. Now there's a G20 meeting taking place in South Africa, which Donald Trump is not sending the United States because Trump has made up fake claims that there is a white genocide taking place in South Africa and that only white people deserve refugee status in the United States. These are despicable people. Here, play this clip.
This is for you. The New York Times is reporting that the administration is now sending a US official to the G20. They're sending Mark Dillard. Can you confirm if that is true and then also explain the shift in- I'd be happy to explain because there is not a shift. The United States is not participating in official talks at the G20 in South Africa. I saw the South African president running his mouth a little bit against the United States and the president of the United States earlier today, and that language is not appreciated by the president or his team. The ambassador or the representative of the embassy in South Africa is simply there to recognize that the United States will be the host of the G20.
They are receiving that send-off at the end of the event. They are not there to participate in official talks, despite what the South African president is falsely claiming.
