President Donald Trump repeatedly criticized ABC News journalist Terry Moran in a combative interview about the foreign policy of his administration.”They’re giving you the big break of a lifetime,” Trump told Moran in a debate over the deportation of illegal immigrant Kilmar Abrego Garcia. “You’re doing the interview, I picked you because, frankly, I never heard of you, but that’s okay. I picked you, Terry, but you’re not being very nice.”During a conversation about Trump’s first 100 days — which covered the administration’s accomplishments and controversies — the president grew impatient with Moran multiple times.

The White House has pursued a more aggressive stance toward the media than even Trump’s first term in office. The Trump administration published a press release declaring, “Since President Donald J. Trump took office 100 days ago, it has been a nonstop deluge of hoaxes and lies from Democrats and their allies in the Fake News suffering from terminal cases of Trump Derangement Syndrome.” The administration went on to list 57 purported “hoaxes” spread by the president’s critics, the media and Democrats.
