President Donald Trump has no reason to put up with the establishment media’s nonsense.
During a news conference at the White House on Tuesday, NBC News chief White House correspondentĀ Peter Alexander rudely and repeatedly interrupted the President, drawing a firm rebuke from the otherwise patient chief executive.

Trump said:
Listen to me for a second. Stop interrupting.
TRUMP IS BACK!

That brief clip, however, did not do justice to the establishment reporter’s brazenness nor to the president’s preternatural patience.
Indeed, a lengthier clip posted to X revealed that Alexander interrupted Trump at least three times.
The exchange began with a question from the reporter about the president’s decision toĀ pardon more than 1,500 Americans persecuted and imprisoned by former the Obiden tyrannical regime in relation to the Capitol incursion of Jan. 6, 2021.
Alexander, of course, did not frame it that way. Instead, he asked:
Trump responded to that loaded question with more respect than the average person could muster. Less than three seconds into the president’s answer, however, Alexander interrupted him for the first time.
Still, Trump went on for more than half a minute about a case, unrelated to the Capitol incursion, which showed, he said, how much he supports police officers.
Alexander would not let it go. Trump called on a different reporter, but the NBC correspondent persisted with another question about violence against police officers.
President Trump said of those whom he has rightfully called the “J6 hostages:”
They’ve served years in jail. They should not have served—excuse me.
That “excuse me” followed Alexander’s second clear interruption.
The President then drew the contrast between liberal district attorneys’ soft-on-crime policies and the Obiden Regime’s criminally harsh treatment of the “J6 hostages.”
Finally, the president had enough when Alexander interrupted for a third time.
He said:
Listen to me for a second. Stop interrupting. They’ve served years in jail. And if you look at the American public, the American public is tired of it.
Then, in a glorious moment, the president cited his victory in the 2024 election as proof that Americans have rejected the corrupt establishment media.
He said:
We won this election in a landslide because the American public is tired of people like you that are just one-sided, horrible people in terms of crime. You don’t talk about all the people that have been killed and what happens to those murderers. Murderers get no time. You take a look at some of these DAs. They go after political opponents, but they don’t go after people that shoot people in the street.
In other words, after demonstrating remarkable patience with the rude reporter, the president took off the gloves—and he did so in a very presidential manner.
The truly remarkable story here is one of the establishment media’s persistence in obnoxious behavior.
Trump spoke the truth. Americans have indeed grown tired of the establishment media’s relentless lies. The 2024 election proved it, as have the media’s sinking ratings. Social media, in particular Elon Musk’s X, has effectively supplanted what passes forĀ modern journalism.
Still, somehow establishment reporters have not learned.
