Donald Trump Goes Viral After Calling A Reporter 'Obnoxious' At The White House
Earlier this week, on December 8th, President Trump held a roundtable with members of the press in the cabinet room to answer several questions about various motions and updates.
Towards the end of the meeting, reporter and political correspondent Rachel Scott of ABC News asked the president a question related to the recent military strike on a Venezuelan boat that was said to be carrying illegal drugs. As she began asking if his administration would be releasing footage of the attack, likely due to the speculation that war crimes took place, the president snapped at her, responding, "Didn't I just tell you that?"
"You are the most obnoxious reporter in the whole place," he continued. "Let me just tell you, you are an obnoxious-- a terrible reporter. And it's always the same thing with you. I told you."
The Internet Slams Trump For His Behavior On Social Media
The president's insults towards Scott were reported and quickly uploaded to social media, and many Americans and other internet users became furious.
This is not the first time the New York native has verbally attacked reporters, as just weeks ago, he famously called another female journalist a "piggy" while demanding that she "be quiet" during a press meeting.
On social media platforms like X and Instagram, angered Americans and other internet users slammed the president, leaving comments and demanding that he change his behavior.
"How can you respect a person who talks to people like that?" asked an Instagram user.
"The most obnoxious president in history," added another.
One user commented, "The name-calling has to stop."
"Someone needs to put him in his place," they continued, as another user wrote, "I'm waiting for a reporter to let him have it."
"He just gets more bold by the minute!" commented a user. "He sees that everything he's saying and doing, and all of the drama and chaos that he has created, is making him get off on it. He loves it!"
