President Donald Trump angrily deflected and insulted a reporter aboard Air Force One when asked whether it was appropriate for his political action committee to use an official photo from the dignified transfer of six U.S. service members killed in the Iran conflict to solicit donations. Rather than answer the question about the fallen soldiers, Trump attacked the news outlet and insisted he supports the email, even though he claimed he hadn’t seen it himself.

Critics have blasted the move as disrespectful and exploitative, arguing that using solemn military imagery for fundraising erodes public trust, especially as U.S. casualties continue to mount in the ongoing conflict. Trump’s refusal to address questions about the dead troops and focus on attacking the media has fueled outrage across political lines.

00:01What are the worst, most fake, most corrupt news organizations on ABC News?
00:07I think it's maybe the most corrupt news organizations on the planet.
00:11I think they're terrible.
00:12I don't want any more from ABC News.
00:16What's the such matter?
00:17But Iran is known for a lot of fake news, and they deal with our fake news,
00:23and I actually think it's pretty criminal because our media companies,
00:28who have no credibility whatsoever, are putting out information that they know is false.
00:35And it's a very dangerous thing for the country.
00:38I think there could be a serious jeopardy for them.
00:41Mr. President, your PAC fundraising email a couple of days ago
00:45is being criticized for using official White House photos of you at the dignified transfer,
00:50and the PAC is also promising access to secret—
00:53Well, I was at the dignified transfer, unlike a lot of other people.
00:56Is there an appropriate email to send?
00:58Your critics are saying that you're fundraising—
01:00I didn't see it.
01:00I mean, somebody puts it up.
01:01We have a lot of people working for us.
01:03But there's nobody that's better to the military than me.
01:07And all you have to do is look at the election, look at the election results,
01:11look at the kind of votes that we get, look at the poll numbers.
01:15There's nobody that's ever been hired as a president than me with the military.
01:20Can you give us a comment on the death soldiers?
01:22Who are you in?
01:22Who are you in?
01:23Who are you in?
01:24What are the worst, most fake, most corrupt—
01:27Can you give us a comment on the death soldiers?
01:28—show on ABC News?
01:30I think it's maybe the most corrupt news organizations on the planet.
01:34I think they're terrible.
01:35Can you give us a comment on the death soldiers?
01:37Right here at home.
01:38You're much better.
01:39Thank you, sir.
01:40What's Israel doing to help secure the strength for this?
01:43They're doing—they're working with us.
01:45The relationship with Israel—that was other fake news.
01:48It was, oh, did I have an argument with Bibi?
01:50No, we really get along well.
01:53And he would tell you, we're leading the whole thing.
01:56And I don't think they can say it or not say it.
01:59It doesn't matter.
01:59The big thing is to get it done.
02:01But my relationship with Bibi Netanyahu is, I would say, extraordinary, actually.
02:07Yeah, go ahead.
02:09When you called for the people of Iran to rise up over the government—
02:14—what's going on there?
02:16They haven't done that.
02:17You expected to.
02:18You're dealing with thugs.
02:19You're dealing with horrible people.
02:22You're dealing with people that are violent and vicious.
02:26And that's the leadership and the people right under them, their military or their police.
02:32And they've notified everybody and they've put out statements that if you protest, you're going to be shot and killed.
02:40Protesters have no guns.
02:42And I know you're a brave person, but I don't think you'd be protesting.
02:46So I think it's very hard for them to protest.
02:49I fully understand it.
02:50They said, if you protest, you will be killed.
02:53A week ago and two weeks ago, they killed 32,000 protesters.
02:57At least we think the number is much higher than that.
02:59They shot and killed 32,000 protesters who were greatly enthusiastic and want to see a change because they've destroyed
03:09the country.
03:10The people that are running have destroyed the country.
03:12But think of it.
03:13They shot and killed much more than 32,000 people.
03:17Now they put out a notice two days ago that we're going to kill, we're going to shoot and kill
03:22any protester.
03:24And they don't have guns, meaning the protesters, because they have no guns.
03:29So I can fully understand why they're not doing it.
03:32Oh, one other thing that was AI-generated, they showed about 250,000 people in a square saying how much
03:39they love Khomeini.
03:40Totally AI-generated.
