President Donald Trump met with the Republican House Caucus on Tuesday, where he discussed the budget bill that included significant cuts to Medicaid and other services to help reduce the cost of tax cuts.
Speaking to the press outside the meeting, Trump grew angry when a reporter asked him about his attitude in speaking to party members.
"I think it was a really great. That was a meeting of love, let me tell you. That was love in that room. There was no shouting," Trump claimed. "I think it was a meeting of love. And there were a couple of things that we talked about specifically, where some people felt a little bit, one way or the other, not a big deal. And I covered them."
That's when a reporter said that a source told him Trump was losing his patience at one point in the meeting.

"Who told you that? That's a lie. Who told you I said I'm losing my patience?" Trump demanded.
"Someone in the room," the reporter said.
"Wait a minute. Wait a minute," Trump said, holding up his hands. "Who told you that?"
"We heard from people inside the room," the reporter replied.
"Oh, really? That's totally — I never used the term. I never said — I didn't even talk about it. In fact, it's the opposite," Trump said. "I think we're going to get it done. I'm not losing patience. We're ahead of schedule. Anybody that told you that is a liar.
"Wait a minute, wait a minute. I never mentioned the word losing patience because I'm not losing patience. We're ahead of schedule. That's why I asked you. Why don't you go back to your source and tell them they're liars? If the source even exists."
