President Donald Trump ripped a reporter from a conservative-leaning network on Monday for asking him a question related to the Department of Homeland Security shutdown.

Trump lashed out at a reporter from Newsmax — a typically pro-Trump TV network — for asking him about his decision to deploy Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents to U.S. airports. The Trump administration announced the move on Sunday amid the ongoing Department of Homeland Security shutdown that has caused massive security lines at airports across the country.

“Who are you with?” Trump asked the reporter. ... “Newsmax, sir,” the reporter responded. ... “You’re not doing a very good job,” Trump told him as the reporter began to ask another question. “You’re not doing a good job. Did you hear me?”

Trump then called on a CNN reporter instead. ... “Can you believe it? I’m taking CNN over Newsmax. Can you believe it?” Trump said. ... Trump later quipped that he did not believe the Newsmax reporter will be at the network “long.”
