President Donald Trump did not take kindly to reporters shouting questions at him on the White House lawn on Friday. He was recorded pointing to someone offscreen and saying, “Quiet,” before adding, “She’s so, she’s so obnoxious.”
CBS reporter Weijia Jiang said on Twitter that she was the one Trump had singled out among the crowd of reporters. She had asked him why he declared North Korea to no longer be a “nuclear threat,” noting that he has yet to answer the question.

Before telling Jiang to be quiet, Trump answered her question as to how he could defend North Korean Dictator Kim Jong-un’s human rights violations with, “Because I don’t want to see a nuclear weapon destroy you and your family.” Jiang gave him credit on Twitter for answering multiple questions before calling her obnoxious.
