Trump Clashes With ABC Reporter in Heated 100-Day Interview

In a tense interview marking his first 100 days back in office, President Donald Trump repeatedly clashed with ABC journalist Terry Moran over contentious topics including immigration, tariffs, and his administration’s leadership choices. Trump insisted that deported Salvadoran Kilmar Abrego Garcia was a member of the MS-13 gang, citing disputed photographic evidence, while Moran questioned the authenticity of the image and noted the lack of other links to the gang. The president dismissed Moran's fact-checking as 'fake news' and accused him of not being 'very nice,' emphasizing that he chose Moran for the interview because he had 'never heard of' him. The conversation grew combative as Trump rejected questions about his confidence in Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, calling such inquiries 'stupid' and asserting that absolute certainty is unrealistic. Trump also defended his tariff policies, stating that Americans 'signed up for it' and predicting that 'great times' are ahead despite widespread concerns about economic impacts. Throughout the interview, Trump repeatedly accused the media of dishonesty and remained steadfast on his positions.
