President Donald Trump conceded on Saturday that he “gets along” better with the world’s autocrats and dictators than with U.S. reporters.

The president made the confession in a testy confrontation with CNN correspondent Jim Acosta, who challenged him at a press conference at the end of the G-20 summit in Japan. The journalist asked: “What is it with your coziness with some of the dictators and autocrats at these summits?”

Trump responded to the room of reporters: “I get along with everybody, except you people ... I get along with (Russian) President (Vladimir) Putin, I get along with Mohammed (bin Salman) from Saudi Arabia.”

Trump also often touts his friendship with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un. Indeed, he arranged a surprise meeting with the dictator on Sunday as part of his trip home from the summit.
