02 October 2019
CNBC

Including interrupting and hijacking the questions for Finnish President Sauli Niinistö during a joint news conference.
<p>Earlier in the question and answer session with the press, President Niinistö can be heard laughing at President Trump's avoidance of a question from Reuters Jeff Mason, telling him to not be rude and ask the Finnish President a question.</p><iframe width="100%" height="150" scrolling="no" class="rm-shortcode twitter-embed-1179473301858652162" id="twitter-embed-1179473301858652162" type="lazy-iframe" data-runner-src="/res/community/twitter_embed/?iframe_id=twitter-embed-1179473301858652162&created_ts=1570043323.0&screen_name=atrupar&text=Trump+berates+%40jeffmason1+after+Mason+presses+him+to+actually+answer+the+question+he+asked+%28he+never+does%29.+The+Fin%E2%80%A6+https%3A%2F%2Ft.co%2FEBGr2R3Kwb&id=1179473301858652162&name=Aaron+Rupar" frameborder="0" data-rm-shortcode-id="J6YWCR1574968394"></iframe><p></p><p>However when Mason does ask President Niinistö a question...</p><p><iframe width="100%" height="150" scrolling="no" class="rm-shortcode twitter-embed-1179473627307216902" id="twitter-embed-1179473627307216902" type="lazy-iframe" data-runner-src="/res/community/twitter_embed/?iframe_id=twitter-embed-1179473627307216902&created_ts=1570043400.0&screen_name=atrupar&text=Trump+seems+to+be+losing+it.+Here+he+is+highjacking+a+question+intended+for+the+Finnish+president+and+ranting+about%E2%80%A6+https%3A%2F%2Ft.co%2FoihIivh8w5&id=1179473627307216902&name=Aaron+Rupar" frameborder="0" data-rm-shortcode-id="G2HGRC1574968394"></iframe></p><p></p><p>...Trump interrupts and decides to answer.</p><p>Although Finnish President Niinistö tells Trump that Mason's question was intended for him.</p><p><iframe width="100%" height="150" scrolling="no" class="rm-shortcode twitter-embed-1179468041421250560" id="twitter-embed-1179468041421250560" type="lazy-iframe" data-runner-src="/res/community/twitter_embed/?iframe_id=twitter-embed-1179468041421250560&created_ts=1570042069.0&screen_name=jeffmason1&text=The+Finnish+president+looks+uncomfortable...+https%3A%2F%2Ft.co%2F4yUa9QtRpM&id=1179468041421250560&name=Jeff+Mason" frameborder="0" data-rm-shortcode-id="8MWD5X1574968395"></iframe></p><p></p><p>Their meeting earlier in the day did not fare much better.
