President Trump Wednesday lased out at reporters at his post-election news conference, ordering several to sit down and even terming one a "rude, terrible" person.

Speaking at his White House press conference, President Trump accused a black reporter of asking a "racist question" after she asked him what he thought of some people's opinions that the Republican party supports white nationalists.

"I don't believe it...That's such a racist question. Honestly, I know you have it written down, that's a racist question...I don't use racist remarks," Trump said.

Trump had a a tense exchange with a CNN journalist who questioned him if the President thought he demonised immigrants when he called the migrant caravan an "invasion."
