"Trump, while taking questions alongside Saudi leader Mohammed bin Salman on Tuesday, ripped Bruce and ABC as fake news and one of the worst in the business, after she asked about the murder of former Washington Post columnist Jamal Khashoggi. That shot came a few days after Trump called Bruce a piggy aboard Air Force One. Those barbs led to swift pushback from journos."
"CNN star Kaitlan Collins complimented both on Tuesday afternoon, saying they do a great job. Peter Baker with The New York Times complimented Bruce as a first-rate reporter. He added she was calm and professional in the face of a presidential tirade. Ex-ABC News anchor Terry Moran posted on X that Bruce is the best; he then shared a video where he said the American people are decent, but President Trump is not."
"Former Fox News host Gretchen Carlson posted that an army of men and women support Bruce. She also said the president acted like a madman. NYT reporter Ryan Mac mockingly posted on Bluesky, you don't have to embarrass our guest by asking if he had someone killed and hacked to pieces. CNBC's Carl Quintanilla said the president's response to Bruce explained everything about how Trump sees press freedom."
President Trump called Mary Bruce and ABC 'fake news' and 'one of the worst in the business' while answering questions with Saudi leader Mohammed bin Salman after Bruce asked about the murder of Jamal Khashoggi. The attack followed an earlier on-board Air Force One remark in which Trump called Bruce a 'piggy.' Numerous journalists publicly defended Bruce and Bloomberg's Catherine Lucey. CNN's Kaitlan Collins praised their work. Peter Baker called Bruce a first-rate reporter who remained calm and professional during a presidential tirade. Multiple media figures criticized the president's conduct or expressed support for the reporters.
