Trump snaps at reporters in Oval Office over Iran questions

What do you say to the American people who question how much longer this will take? Obviously, you know that they are having a hard time.

You're such a disgrace. Do you know what I just said?

President Trump grew testy today when taking questions from reporters in the Oval Office.

I hope the fake news, people like you, I hope the fake news are going to be able to write about it accurately because when you say, oh, they're fighting very well, they're not

fighting well. They've been obliterated, Jeff, obliterated. Particularly when it came to the topic of Iran and the timeline to end the war.

How long are you willing to wait until you get a unified response?

Don't rush me, Jeff. You know, guys like you, you want to say, oh, so we're in Vietnam, like, for 18 years. We're in Iraq for many, many years. I've been doing this for six weeks.

Now, this comes after earlier this week, President Trump extended the ceasefire indefinitely. The White House has refused to put a new deadline on that ceasefire.

We'll see what happens. We have no pressure. It's only guys like you with a question like that about what's your time. We've been doing it for five and a half weeks.

President Trump insisted that he felt no pressure to end the war in Iran and instead said the United States was giving Iran a chance to get some of their turmoil in order. But when asked what this meant for Americans and if Americans should anticipate spending more money on gas, the president lashed out at the reporter.

So if you're asking for more time to sort out negotiations with Iran. I'm not asking you for more time. I'm not asking for them.

No.

If you need more time.

I'm not asking anybody for more time.

If you need more time, does that mean Americans should anticipate spending more on gasoline

for the foreseeable future?

For a little while. And you know what they get for that?

You know what they get for that? Iran without a nuclear weapon that's going to try and blow up one of our cities or blow up the entire Middle East.

She wanted to try to price us down.

Wait a minute. Can I finish my question, wise guy? Stock market's at an all-time high right now. I thought oil would go up to maybe $200 a barrel. I thought oil would go up to maybe $200 a barrel. And oil is a very different number than anyone thought.
