Trump When Asked If He Has Confidence In Rosenstein: 'Next Question' (VIDEO)

At a press conference with South Korean President Moon Jae-in, President Donald Trump refused to respond to a reporter who asked if he has confidence in Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein.
Instead, he pivoted in his chair, calling next question? to the other side of the room.
He then cut off the next reporter mid-question to turn back and rebuke the first, saying, excuse me, I have the President of South Korea here and he doesnt want to hear these questions, if you dont mind.
Though Trump has long disliked Rosenstein and reportedly mulled his firing before, things have intensified recently as Trump demands that the DOJ investigate reports that an FBI informant made contact with his 2016 campaign.

(17,011 posts)why are the so-called powerful repukes such scaredy-cats? Why do career federal employees fear him? He's a hoodlum jerk, and they could send him to jail, but no. They let him do what he wants, and the more he gets away with, the further he goes. If he threatens people or their families, bring it to light. The more who speak out about his underhanded, low road techniques, the less effective it will get. Get him out of power, it'll be easier to fix that then the damage he's doing.
