President Donald Trump clashed with CNN White House reporter Kirsten Holmes after she questioned him over the USS Abraham Lincoln and his decision to scale back U.S.-South Korea military exercises. Trump called Holmes “disrespectful” and a “fake reporter,” while the White House's rapid-response account later escalated the attack by saying her children would be “sickened and embarrassed” by her question. The remarks have triggered backlash from CNN and journalists defending Holmes.
