As President Donald Trump signed an executive order to lower drug prices, an ABC reporter questioned the gift of a $400 million plane from Qatar which he is set to receive.
“What do you say to people who view that luxury jet as a personal gift to you?” The reporter asked. “Why not leave it behind?”
Trump cut the reporter off. “You are ABC fake news, right? Only ABC would — well, a few of you would ask that question.”
He added, “Let me tell you. You should be embarrassed asking that question. They're giving us a free jet. I can say no, no, no, don't give us — I want to pay you a bill again, or 400 million or whatever it is, or I can say thank you very much.”

Trump then went on to give a golf analogy as to why he accepted the plane. “You know, there was an old golfer named Sam Snead. Did you ever hear of him? He won 82 tournaments, he was a great golfer.
"He had a motto, ‘When they give you a putt, you say thank you very much. You pick it up and walk to the next hole.’ A lot of people are stupid. They say no, no, I insist on putting it. Then they putt it, they miss it. Then their partner gets angry at them.”
“You know what? Remember that, Sam Snead, when he gives you a putt, you pick it up and say thank you very much.”
The reporter, and several others, then attempted to ask follow-up questions, which were inaudible.
Trump cut the reporter off again, “It’s not, is not a gift to me. It's a gift to the Department of Defense, and you should know better. Cause you have embarrassed enough, and so has your network. Your network is a disaster, ABC is a disaster.”
