Trump hits ABC reporter as 'obnoxious'

President Trump on Monday lashed out at an ABC News reporter after she pressed him on his comments about controversial military strikes on alleged drug boats, marking the latest instance in recent weeks of the president criticizing a female journalist.

ABC’s Rachel Scott asked Trump whether he would direct Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth to release video of a second strike that targeted the remains of a boat on Sept. 2 after he said last week he would have “no problem” releasing the footage.

“I didn’t say that. You said that, I didn’t say that,” Trump said, disputing the premise.

After Scott pressed Trump on the matter, the president derided her as “the most obnoxious reporter in the whole place.”

...someone is telling him the truth that his "plans" aren't working and polls are sliding. Or both.

Recently someone asked why he was a bit horse when speaking and he replied due to all the yelling he was doing.

... in all of these exchanges, is the "response" from peer journalists on the scene. EVERY reporter and EVERY question should be to support the attacked questioner. This time, for example, the people could ALL repeat the question and remind Crooked Donald what he did say. Or, they could all have agreed to a protesting response, by now, like chanting "Quiet, Piggy" at him.

Everybody else should sit on the sidelines and mock the ass kissers for our entertainment.

That's would be the most satisfying way to fight this thug.

Starting now: Openly agenda-driven news drowning out Trump's b.s.

Be as biased and critical as you like. Full-on TDS with the best defamation defense counsel money can buy.

And hates being questioned. That's why his cabinet meeting is one long blow job. Sadly Trump isn't as smart as he thinks, or as smart as the vast majority of people, and so we get interview after interview like this where he can't explain his plans, actions or their consequences. The emperor doesn't like you to show he has no clothes.
