Watch: Trump Slams Media While Signing EO on Arctic Drilling

We’ve said it before, and we’ll say it again: President Donald Trump is really, really good with the one-liners.

After Trump signed an executive order Friday reversing former President Barack Obama’s ban on Arctic drilling, he celebrated the moment with a not-so-subtle jab at his favorite punching bag, the media, The Daily Caller reports.

Trump thanked Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross and Secretary of the Interior Ryan Zinke for their work in pushing the conservative cause and praised the merits of working offshore to gather resources.

“Renewed offshore energy production will reduce the cost of energy, create countless good jobs, and make America more secure and far more energy independent,” he said, according to a transcript provided by the White House.

“This action is another historic step toward future development and future — with a future — a real future. And I have to say that’s a real future with greater prosperity and security for all Americans, which is what we want.”

Then came the zinger.

“So I’m very proud of the people standing behind me. I’m far less proud of the people standing in front of me,” he said.

Awesome.

“The media,” he clarified needlessly, but humorously. “But I have to tell you that this is a very important day, and I want to congratulate Wilbur and Ryan and all of the people that have worked so hard to get this put together so quickly. And it’s going to lead to a lot of great wealth for our country and a lot of great jobs for our country.”

At some point, the media will have to acknowledge that they’re losing the war against Trump.

For now, snipe away.
