Donald Trump attacks CNN’s Kristen Holmes for asking if he spoke to North Korean dictator: ‘You’re a loud, boisterous person. Be quiet!’

President Donald Trump grew angry at CNN’s Kristen Holmes during a press briefing at the White House Monday, after she asked whether he had spoken with North Korean dictator Kim Jong-un.

“Quiet,” Trump told Holmes, CNN’s senior White House correspondent, after she queried the president about if Jong-un had asked Trump to curtail U.S. military exercises with South Korea. “You’re a loud, boisterous person. You’re faking news!”

In a social media post Sunday, Trump had said that “Based on my very good relationship with Kim Jong Un, of North Korea, I am not happy with the fact that the United States has, long ago, agreed to participate in Joint Military Exercises with South Korea” and that he would instruct Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth to “substantially reduce the Joint Military Exercises!”
