Literally every President at every Press Conference ever.
That said, didn’t Trump already purge the press pool and install exclusively loyalist journalists? It’s funny to see that he’s still complaining. Almost as though he’s forgotten the reason why the press pool exists. They’re not there to be your friend, they’re there to get the Hot Goss and churn the news cycle.
You will never get a gaggle of reporters - of any ideological tenor - that won’t needle you and raise difficult questions. The only thing you get to choose is whether you badger you for being too Fash or too Soy.
Treene pressed: “So some of your supporters are wary of the U.S. getting involved in another foreign war, and some believe that we should support it.”
The split is happening inside his own party! You’ve got Tucker Carlson style fascists whining that US deployment to Iran means taking troops out of LA and off the US/Mexico border. They want their home grown campaign of civil oppression, not some <insert derogatory Jewish slur here> War on the other side of the planet.
Of course his loyalist flaks are going to want to know what side he’s on.
It’s absolutely not. Bush, Biden, Clinton, Reagan - they all whined about how mean the press was. I think Obama was the only president in my lifetime who just mugged his way through it.
And Nixon? Regularly squeeled like a stuck pig, if you work his way through the White House tapes.

No, this is quite rare for a president to look so weak by whining about bad questions.
