President Donald Trump made it clear on Tuesday that this time around, he’s not going to put up with any crap from the mainstream media. Nor does he have to. He can’t be reelected to a third term, so what does he have to lose by pushing back against the liars and propagandists who have desperately attempted to ruin his life over the last decade? Absolutely nothing. All I can say is these folks need to look out. Trump is set to hack their lies like William Wallace swinging a Claymore through a sea of Englishmen.
The Western Journal reported that during a news conference at the White House, Peter Alexander, the chief White House correspondent for NBC News asked a rather rude question and continually interrupted the president, which landed him a stern rebuke from the man-in-charge. This was a throwing down of the gauntlet, an establishing of authority. Trump is the alpha of the pack. Be respectful and you won’t get embarrassed in front of your colleagues.
A bunch of short clips of the encounter are now getting passed across social media platform X.
“Listen to me for a second. Stop interrupting,” Trump remarked.
TRUMP IS BACK!

That brief clip, however, did not do justice to the establishment reporter’s brazenness nor to the president’s preternatural patience. Indeed, a lengthier clip posted to X revealed that Alexander interrupted Trump at least three times. The exchange began with a question from the reporter about the president’s decision to pardon more than 1,500 Americans persecuted and imprisoned by former President Joe Biden’s tyrannical administration in relation to the Capitol incursion of Jan. 6, 2021.
Alexander, of course, did not frame it that way. Instead, he asked if the pardons sent a message tantamount to an endorsement of assault on police officers. Trump responded to that loaded question with more respect than the average person could muster. Less than three seconds into the president’s answer, however, Alexander interrupted him for the first time. Still, Trump went on for more than half a minute about a case, unrelated to the Capitol incursion, which showed, he said, how much he supports police officers.
Alexander just could not let it go. These folks seem incapable of letting anything go that relates to what happened on Jan. 6. It’s sickening to be so obsessed over something like that and to want to see innocent people languish in prison simply because they don’t hold your view of the world.
“They’ve served years in jail,” Trump went on to say of those whom he has rightfully referred to as the “J6 hostages.” “They should not have served — excuse me.” That last bit there followed a second interruption from Alexander.
Trump then drew the contrast between liberal district attorneys’ soft-on-crime policies and the Biden administration’s criminally harsh treatment of the “J6 hostages.” Finally, the president had enough when Alexander interrupted for a third time.
“Listen to me for a second. Stop interrupting. They’ve served years in jail. And if you look at the American public, the American public is tired of it,” Trump told the press. He then pointed toward his massive victory in November’s election as the proof that Americans are also totally done with mainstream media.
“We won this election in a landslide because the American public is tired of people like you that are just one-sided, horrible people in terms of crime. You don’t talk about all the people that have been killed and what happens to those murderers. Murderers get no time. You take a look at some of these DAs. They go after political opponents, but they don’t go after people that shoot people in the street,” Trump explained.

Trump is truly off the leash for this second term. And you can tell he’s enjoying the freedom he now has to govern the way he feels is best for our country. I can’t wait to see what the future holds.
