Journalist tells Trump, 'We have a lot of blonde women in Finland' after he confuses her for another reporter and complains she already got a question by Maxwell Tani on Aug 28, 2017, 5:23 PM Advertisement
 President Donald Trump confused two Finnish journalists at a joint press conference on Monday. After taking several questions, Trump encouraged Finish President Sauli Niinistö to take an additional question. But when he called on a female Finnish reporter, Trump interrupted him, appearing to mistake the reporter for another member of the Finnish media who'd asked him a question several minutes earlier. "Again? You're going to give her the same one?" Trump said. "No, she's not the same lady," Niinistö said. "They are sitting side-by-side." "We have a lot of blonde women in Finland," the reporter joked. Though Trump has regularly criticized American reporters, his treatment of foreign journalists has also raised eyebrows. Earlier this year, Trump interrupted a diplomatic phone call with Irish Prime Minister Taoiseach Leo Varadkar to tell an Irish reporter she had a "nice smile." "She has a nice smile on her face, so I bet she treats you well," Trump said to the prime minister.
