An exchange in the Oval Office yesterday played out like a boardroom elimination on The Celebrity Apprentice, as US President Donald Trump dropped everything to comment on an Irish reporter's "nice smile."
RTE Washington correspondent Caitriona Perry was singled out while she and several members of the press visited the White House to cover Trump's diplomatic phone call with Ireland's new prime minister. During Trump's light discussion, he interrupted the call to summon Perry to his desk.
He then said to the Irish Prime Minister that Caitriona Perry has a nice smile on her face, so he bets she treats the Irish Prime Minister well.
The reporter called the exchange a "bizarre moment" and was seen laughing awkwardly as she walked away.
