WATCH: Angela Merkel looks on in horror as Trump accuses German reporter of spreading ‘fake news’
“I am a trader, I am a fair trader,” Trump insisted. “I am a trader that wants to see good for everybody worldwide, but I am not an isolationist by any stretch of the imagination.”
Trump then moved on to attacking the media for giving off the impression that he’s an isolationist.
“I don’t know what newspaper you’re reading, but I guess that would be another example of, as you say, fake news,” he said.
As Trump accused the reporter of spouting “fake news,” Chancellor Merkel looked up from her lectern and gave the president a pointed stare.
