Trump Goes Off on Female Reporter Over Tough Question

Donald Trump erupted at a female reporter Thursday, showcasing his infamous temper when confronted with an uncomfortable question.

During a visit to the Lincoln Memorial, where he was admiring his latest vanity project—the freshly painted Reflecting Pool—ABC News’ Rachel Scott dared to ask, “Mr. President, you are here against the backdrop of the war in Iran. Why focus on all these projects right now especially with gas prices soaring?”

Trump's response was anything but presidential:

The White House gleefully shared the confrontation on X, boasting about the exchange.

“@POTUS destroys ABC Fake News reporter,” they tweeted, highlighting the moment.

In the video, Trump dismisses Scott’s question as “stupid,” insisting that fixing up the Reflecting Pond is essential, while implying she lacks understanding of the situation: “Because you can understand dirt maybe better than I can—but I don't…”
