Because he always acts this way when someone asks him a question he doesn't like. Refuses to answer, then gaslights and calls them "nasty". Typical narcissist shit.
I wish they'd keep pressing him on it until he completely loses his rag. Let's see the Real Donald Trump.
Donald Trump has very thin skin.
Everyone around him knows it.
World leaders know it as well.
Only the Democratic Party have been repeatedly outwitted by that utter fuckwit.
Why the fuck did it take so long for people to start asking him actual questions?
He illegally kicked out unfriendly media
In the past 24 hours the Elon drug use has come from the NYT and this is coming from CNBC. I’m calling bullshit on that excuse.
The New York Times, NPR, NBC, Reuters, Bloomberg, and Politico have been removed or had their access to briefings limited. Replaced with friendly right wing news sources. The Elon Ketamine use news is from an NYT article, the TACO phrase was from a Financial Times article.
And they need to keep asking questions that piss him off.
The timing says everything. Elon is ‘out’ and media is throwing shade to pull negative sentiment from trump. Otherwise would have done it earlier. Mainstream media that is
Musk was always meant as a lightning rod for Trump's tariffs and doge cuts, nothing more
Elon has been ousted by Trump insiders, perhaps that is why he is getting bad press.
🎶🎵 O-o-o-orange! Ch-ch-ch-chicken!
Trump’s an orange chicken and he’s stupid as hell!
Ooh, mamacita, he sees the economy fell!
Stock prices falling, and others are giving us flack!
Ooh, orange chicken’s having a TACO attaaaaaaaaack! 🎵 🎶
Trump taco sounds lewd
If trump always chickens out, might it also be appropriate to call him Orange Chicken? 🤭
Edit: someone already mentioned orange chicken
Please stop making fun of trump, he gonna ban tacos!!!
The US President being able to be raged baited into destroying what is left of the economy is something else.
Our fucking president throws a hissy every "though" question, wait "nasty" question. Starts to insult the reporter and dodges the question in the end. Or just giving a nonsensical answer.
Relies on catchphrases on his socials for support.
What a fucking joke.
Always has been
When you surround yourself with yes-men and don't attend meetings, you're going to miss a lot.
Because he's insecure.
Um... yeah. Most of us outside of the media's self-imposed truth filter already knew there's a reason for it - because he's a thin-skinned crybaby.

He calls that negotiation. That's why China ignores him. He doesn't have the actual authority to play that game since tariffs are to be voted by the Congress to be effective. Sooner or later his house of cards will scramble. He is relying on this false pretense of emergency to bypass the Congress for now to play his stupid negotiation game.
I don't understand how this can be predicated on an "emergency" of fentanyl being transported over the border when he is actively pardoning domestically incarcerated cartel members and escorting their families over the border and handing them green cards (for a $$$$ price).
Pro tip: Trump lies. About everything. Nothing he says has any value.
The whole fentanyl story is bullshit and serves one purpose: ruling by executive orders.
In fact, there is more fentanyl crossing the border from the USA to Canada than the reverse. This administration is lying all the time to avoid power balance mechanisms of the Constitution.
Because he is a thin skinned pos.
Imagine voting for this sad bastard. Your self-respect would have to be in the basement.
He tends to get angry when he's called out.
Like narcissistic assholes do.

It's because he's a narcissist and it goes against his self image of a strongman who is respected, worshipped, and feared.
Guess what? Fucking with the entire national (and, to an extent, global) economy isn’t usually a good way to negotiate. That’s why other presidents didn’t do it frequently. He’s a bull in a china shop, and even some of his supporters are sick of it.
The real answer is "He's a narcissist". This is just parroting his handler's bullshit damage control.
In the White House every day is TACO Tuesday!
The taco truck in this case is one of Elmo's ugly ass electric dumpsters.
