In the heated exchange with reporters who were pushing back on Trump's brash airstrikes on Iran the president lashed out at CNN's Kaitlan Collins: "Me, I'm the guy who gets invited to the Hotel Parties he [Diddy] had. You? No, no one invites you. I've been to hundreds of Freak Offs, Freak Offs like you wouldn't believe, tremendous what they did with the baby oil - and you're just fake news. Good bye! Bye bye!"

Mr. Trump stormed out of the situation room and didn't take questions from reporters who were stunned by the bombshell.
