In the first fiery exchange, after President-elect Donald Trump was certified as the 47th president, a left-liberal media reporter was left scrambling with no words after Trump didn’t hold back when he tried to pressure the president-elect into disclosing his military strategy for dealing with Iran.
“Only a stupid person would answer that,” Trump fired back, making it clear that he wasn’t about to jeopardize national security or give his enemies any advantage. His blunt, no-nonsense response perfectly exemplifies his leadership style, which focuses on protecting America’s interests while refusing to play into the left-wing media’s political games. Trump's quick wit and unshakable resolve further cement his standing as a leader who puts America first.
On Tuesday, a reporter asked Trump about the United States launching a preemptive strike on Iran.
“You said you don’t want to answer that,” the reporter said, to which Trump responded, “I don’t talk about it. It’s military strategy.”
However, the reporter continued to pressure Trump into giving him undisclosed information that the president-elect had already said he would not make public.
“Only a stupid person would answer. It’s a military strategy, and I’m not answering your questions on military strategy,” Trump fired back.
'ONLY A STUPID PERSON WOULD ANSWER IT': Trump just dunked on this reporter. Lmao.

the last guy told us (and our enemies) everything!
I love when he puts so called journalists in their place. No leader should discuss private military strategy.
