President Donald Trump turned on a reporter during a question session in the Oval Office on Tuesday and warned him in front of the whole press pool to watch himself.

How it started

Trump was fielding questions when he gestured toward a crowded section of reporters without naming anyone. A White House reporter, Andrew Feinberg, began to speak and the president quickly stopped him.

"I don't know who the hell you are, but you better be careful," Trump told him. He then turned to a different journalist and invited that person to go ahead instead.

The president appeared to believe Feinberg had jumped in without being picked. Since Trump never called on a specific person and only pointed toward a packed spot, the mix-up looked like an innocent one.

A White House without a press secretary

Trump has been taking more questions from the media himself lately. The White House is once again without a press secretary after Katie Zacharia was dismissed following roughly one work week in the role.

She was let go while a reporter was interviewing her. At the same time Trump was telling reporters he had assured her she did not have to stay in the job if she did not want it.
