Jake Tapper Hits Donald Trump With A Blunt Reminder After President's Rant At Reporter

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

CNN’s Jake Tapper responded to Donald Trump’s outburst at a reporter on Thursday with a stark reminder for the president ― that he won’t be in office for much longer.

Trump snapped at Reuters White House correspondent Jeff Mason for interrupting him during one of his lengthy, conspiracy theory-filled rambles in a press conference that followed the president’s video chat with service members for Thanksgiving.

“Don’t talk to me that way,” Trump told Mason. “You’re just a lightweight. Don’t talk to me that way. I’m the president of the United States. Don’t ever talk to the president that way.”

Tapper on Twitter named Mason as the “excellent journalist” who was “on the other end of this spectacle.”

He then dinged the president with this line:

“Jeff will still be working at the White House after January 20, 2021.”

1. Trump doesn't seem to realize how much of the deference he's shown is attached to the job..

..rather than to him personally. I'm guessing that will hit him hard, especially since it's the aspect of the position that he seems to revel in the most.

When the President stands - West Wing

A good actor playing a good President in a tv show...

Not a lousy actor being a lousy President in real life.

Advance toward the end of the clip.

10. 'You're just a lightweight'? Yeah, I've never been impeached and lost the popular vote twice, lamer.

11. Ever since I was 13 (in 1965), every time I've met a sitting or a former president

I have called him "Mr. President."

If I ever meet Donald Trump, I'll call him a taxi.
