President Donald Trump on Monday once again deployed what’s fast becoming one of his go-to responses when faced with uncomfortable questions from the media: “Who are you with?”
As Trump talked to reporters about what he claimed will be the imminent release of 80,000 unredacted files related to the assassination of President John F. Kennedy, he was asked about his recent criticism of predecessor President Joe Biden’s reported use of an autopen during his presidency, despite having used one himself.

“You have criticized President Biden for using autopen in the last few days. Have you yourself ever used autopen, sir?” the reporter asked.
“Yeah, only for very unimportant papers,” Trump responded, before immediately contradicting himself. “And I don’t call them unimportant. When you do letters and people write in, they’d love to have a response. I’ll sign them whenever I can, but when I can’t, I use an autopen. But to use them for what they’ve used them for is terrible.”
As the journalist attempted to follow up, Trump cut in and asked: “Who are you with?”
“NBC News,” the reporter replied.
“I don’t want to talk to NBC anymore. I think you’re so discredited,” Trump shot back before waving off the question and moving on.
