President Donald Trump had a tense exchange with a reporter at his Halloween party at Mar-a-Lago on Saturday night. The president briefly took questions in the ballroom of his Palm Beach resort, flanked by Secret Service agents and surrounded by partygoers in top hats, feathered headdresses, wings and sparkles. A reporter asked the president, who said he came dressed as 'Donald Trump.' 'Why would you ask such a stupid question?' Trump snapped back, indicating that the reporter was from The New York Times. 'Let's say I did, would I tell you? Let's say I didn't, would I tell you?' Trump said, throwing his hands up in the air. 'I can't tell you that...It's not a question for The New York Times.' The president has long had a combative relationship with the press, launching personal attacks on reporters, seeking to bar them from the White House and filing multimillion-dollar lawsuits against media outlets.
