I remember him stopping at Jim Acosta just long enough to say he wasn't going to take Acosta's question because he was "fake news." Naturally, every reporter worth her or his salt immediately left the press room. The rest? Didn't budge.
Business Insider had a little article on this in May 2020.
11 times Trump has lashed out at reporters and called them 'nasty' during his coronavirus press briefings
President Donald Trump has consistently attacked reporters for asking critical questions during his daily coronavirus press briefings.
In some cases, the president has gone so far as to call reporters "terrible," "fake," and "nasty," and telling some that they're "never going to make it."
Trump has made it clear he prefers positive, easy news coverage of his coronavirus response; he even went out of his way during an April briefing to show a video lauding his administration's efforts over the past few months.
The linked article goes on to document those 11 instances with clips. But, I suppose that since these were briefings on the coronavirus, some will argue that the former guy didn't make any of these reprehensible remarks during a press conference, so he's blameless.
