Trump admits he gets along with foreign dictators better than with American journalists

Huffingotn Post -  President Donald Trump conceded in Osaka Saturday that he “gets along” better with the world’s autocrats and dictators than with U.S. reporters. The president made the confession in a testy confrontation with CNN correspondent Jim Acosta, who challenged him at a press conference at the end of the G-20 Summit. The journalist asked: “What is it with your coziness with some of the dictators and autocrats at these summits?”

Trump responded to the room of reporters: “I get along with everybody, except you people ... I get along with President Putin, I get along with Mohammed [bin Salman] from Saudi Arabia.” Trump also often touts his friendship with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un.
