BBC journalists successfully reached Donald Trump during his presidency by simply calling the White House switchboard. Expecting to be diverted by administrative staff, they were instead connected directly to the president in the Oval Office. President Trump answered the call personally and maintained a polite tone throughout the brief exchange. While he ultimately declined the spontaneous request for an interview, he advised the reporters to contact his press office to arrange a formal meeting, demonstrating an unusual level of direct accessibility for a sitting president.

Bone Spurs,,,,Bone Spuuurs,,,,,, Bone Spurs, Bone Spurs.
BONE Spurs BONE SPURS,,,,, B-O-N-E S- P- UUUUUUUUUURS.
Apologies,,,,, just conveying in language the Silly Satsuma might understand.
King should not visit US. King is a public servant now. He must listen to the public opinion. He should not entangle himself to this dangerous lunatic and get used as a political tool.
So basically Russia and China don’t have to hack Trump’s phone. Just hack a journalist’s phone for presidential access and watch prediction markets for military intelligence.
Perhaps Trump wants to win again 🤔🤔
Click bait headline for a really boring story
I would have liked to hear the phone call, not somebody telling me about the phone call.🙄
What am I listening to here? You guys are a holes. Let’s pretend the president is sane. Shame on you.
US President Netanyahu does not want peace. He should be removed from the presidency.
He said nothing at all. It's all about her getting over excited and her ego boosted about talking to Trump. Big deal
He check you out and you were not HOT enough so he didnt answer
Woke him from his post-hamburger snooze, maybe? Caught him off guard? If so, I wonder whether he had been dreaming about that mother of his … who also had a Scots accent, Sarah.
That pesky Australian Rupert Murdoch is bringing down the US because he could.
Good that he is still willing to talk with the BBC. Felt like going to the lion's den.
Why is the bbc even still on air, may aswell be state owned all they do is mislead to suit narratives
Release his phone number so that we can all ring him.
Ha lol you've got a cheek after playing sides forever
Standards for the bbc, shocked, shocked I say.
Can't wait for Trump to sue BBC for a cool billion …will teach them to doctor footage and try and pass that as fact.
Good on Prz Trump for answering, a true president of the people.
Show trump who the Brits are.
“Dialed”
As we get older we get hard of hearing
I studying carl jung PhD on lying and 25th amendment.
Could it have been from SNL ?
The hardest thing for any country. President on king to said I'm Wrong and to said I'm sorry. Ready by carl jung PhD.
I BEG GLOBAL LEADERS TO PLEASE FIND THE COURAGE TO STAND UP AGAINST VIOLENT BULLIES (like Trump and Netanyahu's regimes) – TO STAND UP FOR GENUINE PEACE AND FREEDOM AND SAFETY FOR ALL PEOPLE, EVERYWHERE. ALL PEOPLE DESERVE PEACE, FREEDOM AND SAFETY, AND WHEN THEY HAVE IT, THEY HAVE NOTHING TO FIGHT BACK AGAINST.
Likes the beeb ? That,s news to me.
One question. Why does his phone number need to be kept secret when he could have multiple phone numbers for different purposes? One for journalists, one for his government and one for his private life. All this stuff about secrecy don't make any sense.
BBC assused of being WOKE and Sarah says he likes the BBC apart from his court case.
Really,Sarah ?
He❤ flattery being narcistic but dare a female criticise him,he busts a gut in rage.
Trump is a despicable liar. Every journalist should preface their question with, I know you're a despicable liar but just for the record tell me ….
None of his business if he ever said the P.M. must go.
He would bust a gut if we said that about him.
You didn't give respect to POTUS
[Sarah Smith]:'…I'm not sure that's strictly true at the moment.' Good title for a Trump biography.
Ask him when his war crimes trial will be.
