World leaders could simply answer direct questions — but they’ve been known to treat journalists like this.

00:00You are a rude, terrible person.
00:02And if you are ready to make a cut, then I invite you to Moscow.
00:06I wanted to challenge you on one of the statements that you made in the tail end of the campaign
00:21in the midterms.
00:23Here we go.
00:24Well, if you don't mind, Mr. President, that this caravan was an invasion.
00:29I consider it to be an invasion.
00:30As you know, Mr. President, the caravan was not an invasion.
00:32It's a group of migrants moving up from Central America towards the border with the U.S.
00:38Thank you for telling me that.
00:39I appreciate it.
00:40They're hundreds of miles away, though.
00:41They're hundreds and hundreds of miles away.
00:42You know what?
00:43That's not an invasion.
00:44Honestly, I think you should let me run the country.
00:47You run CNN.
00:48All right.
00:49And if you did it well, your ratings would be much better.
00:50Let me ask.
00:51If I may ask one other question.
00:52Mr. President, if I may ask one other question.
00:53Peter, go ahead.
00:54Are you worried?
00:55That's enough.
00:56That's enough.
00:57No one should be ashamed of itself having you working for them.
01:00You are a rude, terrible person.
01:02You shouldn't be working for CNN.
01:27Don't you think that by trying to eradicate terrorism in Chechnya,
01:56you are going to eradicate the civilian population of Chechnya?
02:27So, therefore, the question is, is it OK for a PM to take maternity leave while in office?
02:34Can you do this job?
02:35Do you want kids?
02:36What about this whole question about, you know, work and babies and families?
02:41Do you find this an inappropriate question?
02:43For me, no, because I opened myself up to it.
02:46But you, for other women, it is totally unacceptable in 2017 to say that women should have to answer
02:53that question in the workplace.
02:55This was my point.
02:56No, I'm going to count that.
02:57I'll count that for you.
02:58No, it is unacceptable in 2017.
03:03In this country, since you became president, in the five months since you became president,
03:08more people have actually been killed than died during the nine years of the Marcos dictatorship,
03:13which we've also been talking about.
03:15Well, I could ask the same question.
03:17Why is America losing 40,000 lives, drug-related cases?
03:23You do not do that to me.
03:25When you are a hypocrite to me, you are a hypocrite.
03:28Thank you, Mr. President.
