US President Donald Trump has humiliatingly shut down a New York Times reporter following a question on the ongoing war with Iran. During a Monday press conference, Trump was asked if his threats to bomb Iran’s infrastructure could “amount to war crimes”. While being asked the question, Trump mocked the New York Times, claiming “circulation” is “way down” at the “failing” publication.

Trump rebutted, claiming he hoped he did not “have to” attack Iran before reasserting America’s goal of eliminating Iran’s nuclear capabilities. President Trump then hammered the ‘fake’ journalist and the New York Times in a scathing takedown.
