"Are you stupid? Are you a stupid person? You're just asking questions because you're a stupid person!"

[Miles Archer]

One reporter moved to call Trump out on his false claim, ultimately sparking his wrath.

“Actually, your DOJ, [inspector general] just reported this year that there was thorough vetting by DHS and by the FBI of these Afghans who were brought into the U.S., so why do you blame the Biden administration for what this man did?”

“Because they let him in! Are you stupid? Are you a stupid person?” Trump lashed out.

“Because they came in on a plane along with thousands of other people who shouldn't be here, and you're just asking questions because you're a stupid person! And – we – there's a law passed that it's almost possible to get them out once they come in.”

1. Nothing says presidential by acting as a schoolyard bully

[WmChris]

2. Projection

Stupid is as stupid does.

[canetoad]

3. I always thought

It was the stupid people who don't ask questions.

[Prairie Gates]

4. Imagine being spoken to this way and sitting there saying nothing

These reporters are cowards.

[Turbineguy]

7. In a "who's a Bigger Asshole" contest

it's best to let trump have the last word. That way he wins.

[Skittles]

5. not to mention

the GOP does all it can to ensure every fucking nutcase in America can be armed

[jaymac]

27. Oh boy oh boy

You hit that nail smack on the head...........too many guns, ya'll

[RedWhiteBlueIsRacist]

6. Do you know what is stupid Trump? Needlessly flooding DC with military personnel to appease your peacockness.

[BOSSHOG]

8. But, We ain't talking about EPSTEIN

Only a dead Soldier huh convicted felon. Now the decision. Don’t go to the funeral to attend to the awesome attack on white Americans or attend the funeral with cameras rolling?

And the question from the skeptical, did MAGA vote for THIS?

[SSJVegeta]

9. Just another of the many times somebody should have said "what the fuck is wrong with you?"

"Why do you think it is okay to talk to people like this?"

[Skittles]

10. I remember a work call where someone answered a question in a dismissive tone

there was a silence, then the guy who asked the question (an Aussie) said, "I think that was a perfectly legitimate question and I would like a more measured response." Which he got.

[Ocelot II]

11. Why doesn't anyone ever ask him, "What the bleeding hell is wrong with you?"

[Dave says]

17. Cowardice

Fear for their jobs, their careers.

[progressoid]

21. Or their lives

[jaymac]

28. Death treats and loss of job.....

I pray for the day when finally the right voice says loudly, Look! he's not wearing any clothes!!!

[bucolic_frolic]

12. Suddenly, Donnie is hamstrung by laws

"a law passed that it's almost possible to get them out"

[Irish_Dem]

13. What would happen if any of us had talked like this on the job?

To customers, clients, co-workers, subordinates, our bosses, or colleagues from other industries?

[Miles Archer]

16. When I worked in "the private sector" (Cubicle Land, Silicon Valley) the pressure to "socialize" was INTENSE.

Every cliche you've ever heard about "teams" and "teamwork," like "There's no "I" in team," all of the platitudes, repeated endlessly.

And if you've seen the movie "Office Space," that's what it was really like. Especially when they showed the reaction to "Hawaiian Shirt Day." A sea of faces belonging to people who really didn't like each other, who realized if you didn't FEEL it, you had to PRETEND you did, or you were HOSED.

So taking the long route to answer your question, anyone who spoke like that would be well on their way to being ousted from the company.

Maybe not one outburst. They'd be in the doghouse for that, but repeat offenses?

I think they call it "Career Suicide."

[soldierant]

22. Who's going to fire him?

He is surrounded by cowards who are afraid of him.

[Boomerproud]

32. I work (labor) in a manufacturing plant and the groupthink is very strong from management.

There are "positive thinking" posters up everywhere but the main message is if you're unhappy it's your fault.

I have posted this here a few 100 times by now I suspect. I consider it one of the best articles I have ever read on mental health. It addresses what is often left out in conversations on mental health. As you said, it’s as if it’s your fault if you are unhappy :

As for Facebook etc, it’s all such bullshit anyway.

[Irish_Dem]

25. Yes team players have been the corporate goal for some time now.

And insulting and belittling people does not fit that model.

[Raine]

14. His temper seems to get shorter & shorter. nt

[Irish_Dem]

26. And his verbal filter seems to be disappearing every day.

He always did run his mouth in a stupid way, but lately it is much much worse.

[Paladin]

33. That filter isn't anywhere NEARLY close enough to disappearing, to satisfy me.

Hope the deterioration continues and picks up speed...

[Cha]

15. lol.. Ol Stupid is Protesting Too Much.

[madinmaryland]

18. The response to him should have been: "WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU?"

Then they should be awarded a Pulitzer Prize.k

[electric_blue68]

19. Heh!

[Aviation Pro]

20. "Are you a pedophile?

Are you a pedophile person?”

[democrank]

23. Such eloquent discourse

So presidential, that Donald Trump.

[GreenWave]

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

38. Only stupid answers which seem to be the only kind Trump knows.

[struggle4progress]

30. Donnie is almost as smart as a potato but less affable

[LetMyPeopleVote]

31. trump cannot stand questions from women reporters

35. As I hold "Vote Aftyn Behn" signs and endure insults, I'm going to emulate

trump and use this quote.

Gee, I wonder how long I would it would be until someone tries to knock my teeth out.

[MorbidButterflyTat]

37. It looks like we have the same kind of sarcasm.

[MorbidButterflyTat]

36. Gee, I wonder if he's this abusive to his wives

and family?

I bet he heard this every day from his own father.

[senseandsensibility]

39. Seriously, why can't any of them simply say, "I don't appreciate being insulted for asking

an appropriate question and doing my job." I think the vast majority of people would applaud that. It's polite, professional, and doesn't sink to his level. Yet it's impossible to take issue with unless you are literally a braindead cult member and they are a dwindling minority. The fact that these journalists won't even start with this baby step is anything but inspiring.

[walkingman]

40. Such a wonderful example for our children.

[Johonny]

41. Will someone please give him this shit back

Seriously, fucking call him a fat moron. Shit talk him. Trash him.

[Totally Tunsie]

42. Shooter came in during Biden administration after being vetted, but

it was Dozing Donnie's administration that granted him asylum in April of this year.

https://www.reuters.com/world/us/officials-criticize-biden-vetting-afghan-shooting-suspect-was-granted-asylum-2025-11-27/

WASHINGTON, Nov 27 (Reuters) - The Trump administration on Thursday blamed Biden-era vetting failures for the admission of an Afghan immigrant suspected of shooting two National Guard members in Washington, D.C., but the alleged gunman was granted asylum this year under President Donald Trump, according to a U.S. government file seen by Reuters.

43. Typical republican response, never take responsibility.
