Trump Dismisses HuffPost Reporter, Mocks JD Vance Comments

During a press interaction aboard Air Force One, President Donald Trump dismissed a question from HuffPost reporter SV Dáte regarding Vice President JD Vance's controversial comments about judicial authority, suggesting that Vance's administration could ignore Supreme Court rulings it disagrees with. Trump mockingly questioned the relevance of HuffPost, quipping that he thought the outlet had 'died' and had not read it in years. Vance had stated that judges should not control the executive branch's legitimate powers, using examples of military and prosecutorial discretion to illustrate his point. His remarks followed a court ruling that blocked Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) from accessing Treasury Department payment systems. While Trump did not address Vance's comments directly, he criticized the judge involved in the ruling, expressing disagreement with the decision. The exchange highlights ongoing tensions between the executive branch and the judiciary, as well as Trump's contentious relationship with certain media outlets.
