Moment furious Trump cuts off reporter live on air as | UK News

US President Donald Trump slammed a New York Times reporter when he quizzed him about Amazon‘s involvement in the documentary about his spouse, Melania. The couple had been showing together on the black carpet at the World Premiere of her eponymous flick, which was held at the Trump-Kennedy Centre on Thursday, January 29, when he was requested the query.

As reporters tried to get his consideration, one voice might be heard saying: “Amazon paid $75 million to make and market this film. It’s an exorbitant fee. Many Americans think this is [Jeff] Bezos trying to get in good with you, and they would call it an act of corruption…” Cutting him off, Trump requested, “Who are you with?” When the reporter responded, The New York Times, Trump fired back: “Fake news, New York Times.” After slamming the publication, he insisted: “I don’t know really. I’m not involved in it. That was done with my wife.”

He continued: “I think it’s a very important movie. I think it’s really going to be very important. It shows life in the White House. It’s a big deal, actually.”

The incident was broadcast live on Stinchfield Tonight, which is hosted by Grant Stinchfield, a former NRATV host and media critic. It airs on Real America’s Voice, which is on the market on a number of platforms, including Spotify and Apple Podcasts.

The documentary, helmed by X-Men director Brett Ratner, was made with Melania’s participation and follows the only First Lady to serve two non-consecutive phrases alongside her husband, from the day of the 2025 Presidential Inauguration to the 20 days prior. It shall be out there to stream on Amazon’s Prime Video from January 20, after they reportedly paid $40 million to license the movie.

The company’s founder, Jeff Bezos, was among the tech giant billionaires and inauguration fund donors who contributed $1 million to attend Trump’s second inauguration.

Speaking about the project prior to its launch Melania said: “History is set in motion during the 20 days of my life prior to the U.S. Presidential Inauguration. For the first time, global audiences are invited into theatres to witness this pivotal chapter unfold—a private, unfiltered look as I navigate family, business, and philanthropy on my remarkable journey to becoming First Lady of the United States of America.”

She told Fox News: “[This story] has never been told, and because the subject matter is historically consequential, it was imperative for me to produce a film of the highest cinematic standard, suitable exclusively in theatres worldwide.

“The 20 days of my life, preceding the U.S. Presidential inauguration, constitute a rare and defining moment—one that warrants meticulous care, integrity, and uncompromising craftsmanship,” she said. “I am proud to share this very specific moment of my life—20 days of intense transition and planning—with moviegoers and fans across the globe.”
