‘Get yourself a real job’: Trump’s interaction with NOTUS reporter goes viral
President Donald Trump often calls out media houses, journalists, and gives nicknames to journalists, but his interaction with one particular reporter this morning went viral as he just shrugged off the question-answer situation, giving the reporter career advice. Trump Tuesday reached the Capitol to speak to the Republicans over his big, beautiful bill. He spoke to the Republicans for more than an hour and asked them not to touch Medicaid with cuts. “We have unbelievable unity,” Trump said after the meeting. “I think we’re going to get everything we want.” “President Trump, Andy Harris said that you didn’t adequately convince enough people to vote for the bill,” a reporter asked. “After this speech?” Trump asked and answered: “Well, why don’t we see how the vote is? I think it was a great talk. It wasn’t a speech. We talked about things.”“Who do you work for?” Trump asked the reporter. The report said he worked for NOTUS. “What? I don’t even know what the hell that is. Get yourself a real job,” Trump said. As the video went viral, NOTUS journalists plugged their website and claimed that it’s a good time to subscribe to their newsletter.
What is NOTUS ?
NOTUS is a non-profit, non-partisan media outlet based in Washington, D.C., focused on political reporting. It was established in 2023 by the Allbritton Journalism Institute. NOTUS aims to provide in-depth coverage of political events and issues, often focusing on the “why” behind the news rather than just the “what.” The outlet positions itself as distinct from other media organizations by emphasizing its non-profit status and non-partisan approach, aiming to offer a different perspective on political journalism.“There’s something else that’s unique about NOTUS: It’s produced by a newsroom like no other. We’re a product of the Allbritton Journalism Institute, a new journalism education organization founded by Robert Allbritton, the former publisher of POLITICO. At AJI, we’re training the next generation of great journalists by pairing some of the country’s most promising up-and-coming reporters – individuals from different regions, different backgrounds, and different beliefs – with some of the most accomplished journalists working in Washington today,” NOTUS explains on their site.
