Hot mic catches reporters throwing shade on Trump economy praise

President Donald Trump outs Dow hitting 30K, congratulates administration staffers at a press conference.'s brief statement about the stock market Tuesday afternoon, with one remarking afterward it was "weird as s--t."

Trump spoke in the White House briefing room for a little over a minute to tout the Dow Jones Industrial Average passing 30,000 for the first time, calling it a "sacred number" and congratulating the American people for the milestone. He then departed to shouted questions from assembled reporters. A hot mic on CSPAN caught reporters sharing their surprised reactions after Trump left, with one saying, "that was weird as s**t." Another appeared to say it was "one of the stranger" briefings he had attended.

The strange scene was emblematic of the historically strained relationship between Trump and the reporters covering him the last four years. Trump has repeatedly called the press "fake news" and "the enemy of the people," and reporters have frequently blurred the lines between journalism and commentary in their coverage of him.
