“[Representative] Andy Harris said that you didn’t adequately convince enough people to vote for the bill,” the reporter said. Trump asked him, “You mean after this speech?”

“Well, why don’t we see how the vote is. I think it was a great, great talk. It wasn’t a speech, we talked — and uh, who do you work for?” Trump asked the reporter.

“NOTUS,” they responded. “Who?” Trump asked. “NOTUS,” they asserted.

“I don’t even know what the hell that is,” Trump said. You can hear laughter in the background. “Get yourself a real job,” he said, before other reporters started shouting questions.

In response to the video, people expressed their frustration with Trump’s response in the comments. “he gets so insecure when someone asks him a real question,” this person pointed out.

“A reporter finally spoke the truth to Trump! ALL REPORTERS SHOULD DO THE SAME!” this person pleaded.

“Would be nice if he spoke to putin that way,” this person suggested.

“He called it a speech and then said it wasn’t a speech. Sure, he’s fine,” this person said.

“Presidency has never been this low. Fact,” this person said.
