During a recent press conference on Air Force One, President Donald Trump responded to a reporter's question regarding statements made by Vice President JD Vance about judicial interference. Vance had suggested that judges should not control the executive branch's legitimate power, drawing parallels to how judges cannot dictate military operations or prosecutorial discretion.
When asked about Vance's comments, Trump appeared unaware of the controversy and expressed skepticism about the relevance of the news outlet HuffPost, where the reporter was from. Trump quipped that he thought HuffPost had ceased to exist, indicating his lack of engagement with the publication in recent years.
Trump also criticized a recent court ruling that blocked the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) from accessing Treasury Department resources, labeling the decision as 'crazy.' He emphasized the need to address inefficiencies, fraud, and waste within the government, citing examples such as USAID.
The HuffPost, in response to Trump's remarks, did not immediately provide a comment on the matter. Trump's dismissal of HuffPost's relevance and his disagreement with the court ruling underscored his stance on judicial oversight and government efficiency.
