President Donald Trump on Friday took issue with a reporter's inquiry in the Oval Office, calling it a "trick question."
As Trump fielded shouted questions from reporters, one reporter asked him about his thoughts on free speech as it relates to the killing of right-wing activist Charlie Kirk.
"There's been a lot of talk about free speech this week. Do you see a difference between cancel culture and consequence culture?" the reporter asks.
Trump appeared annoyed by the question.
"Your question is a little trick question," he shot back.
"It's not meant to be," the reporter replied.
"I'm a very strong person for free speech," Trump continued, before blasting TV networks for giving him negative coverage. "At the same time, when you have networks that — where I won an election in counties, I guess, its 2,600 to 525 — that's called a landslide times two."
Trump bemoaned that coverage of him is between 94% and 97% negative despite his win over Vice President Kamala Harris.
"They'll take a great story, and they'll make it bad!" he added. "I think that's really illegal, personally. You can't have free airwaves — you're getting free airwaves from the United States government — and you can't have that and say — someone who just won an election — and I had to go through this during the election. I think it's a miracle that I can win when 97% of the stories on the networks are bad or whatever it may be."
