White House correspondent Brian Karem fires back after Donald Trump threatens to walk out on him
By the time Donald Trump got to the part of his press conference today where he was taking questions, he was already in an agitated and unhinged state of mind. When Trump called on White House correspondent Brian Karem and then tried to avoid answering the question, and Karem insisted on following up, Trump threatened to walk out of his own press briefing.
Now Brian Karem is firing back, explaining on Twitter that he can’t believe what he just saw:
I have never seen a president threaten to leave his own press briefing before. @realDonaldTrump @PalmerReport https://t.co/myCwdRrNoW

In case you missed it, here’s the footage of Donald Trump melting down over Karem’s question:
Trump calls Brian Karem a "showboat", threatens to leave and has the biggest tantrum and meltdown at #TrumpPressConf today.
And he is DEFUNDING WHO.
He is out of control.
This is HORRIFYING.
