The Two Press Corps American reporter: Mr. President, Iran says it now controls the Strait of Hormuz. Your response? Trump: Which news agency are you with? Reporter: Reuters, sir. Trump: Fake news. Reporter: Thank you, Mr. President. The reporter sits down. The next hand goes up with a question about the White House ballroom. Later the same afternoon. European reporter: Mr. President, Iran says it controls the Strait of Hormuz. Tanker traffic is down forty percent. What is your plan? Trump: Which agency are you with? Reporter: Deutsche Presse-Agentur. And the question stands. Trump: Fake news. Total fake news. Reporter: The shipping data comes from your own Department of Energy, sir. Are they fake news too? Trump: Next question. Reporter: That was the next question. Two reporters, same question, same non-answer. The difference is what happened next. One said thank you and sat down. The other stayed standing and asked again. Access is not journalism. Follow-up questions are.
