Donald Trump hurls brutal three-word insult to reporter who tried to ask him a question

President Donald Trump lashed out at a reporter at the Oval Office as she attempted to ask him a question.

Trump has had quite the reputation with journalists since his first rodeo in Office in 2016. The POTUS regularly remarks that journos who ask questions he doesn’t like are part of the ‘fake news’ cycle, slamming them and the companies they are representing.

But this time, he’s gone after a woman for simply trying to do her job.

During an Oval Office press conference last month, Trump was left seething at a particular reporter amid his question time.

A video of the moment posted on social media shows Trump speaking as reporters were all trying to get in their own questions. However, one woman who was later identified as American Urban Radio Networks reporter Ebony McMorris, can be heard asking him about his plans to send National Guard troops to Memphis, US.

“Quiet,” Trump then said in the video, apparently addressing the journalist. “You’re really obnoxious.”

“I’m not obnoxious, but I’m trying to ask you, what about your plans for Memphis?” McMorris replied to him.

Again, Trump said to her: “You are really obnoxious.”

This led to McMorris repeating: “I’m not obnoxious, but I am asking, what are your plans for Memphis? Many people wanted to know―”

Trump cut her off and then adamantly stated: “I’m not going to talk to you until I call on you.”

He then went on to take a question from a different reporter.

This comes after news broke that a judge blocked Trump’s request to send troops to Chicago to help with immigration enforcement and to battle allegedly high crime rates in cities in the US. McMorris is part of the Washington Association of Black Journalists, which posted its response to the clip on her behalf.

“Asking difficult questions you don’t want to hear does not make her ‘obnoxious,’” the WABJ wrote on X. “Ebony is just doing her job, like everyone else in the room.”

This is by far not the first negative interaction Trump has had with the press, as in May of this year, he berated a reporter for querying something known as the ‘TACO trade’.

A reporter asked: "They're saying 'Trump Always Chickens Out' on the tariff threats and that's why markets are higher this week. What's your response to that?"

The nickname of calling it the ‘TACO trade’ is apparently something that was made to mock the POTUS.

Initially, PEOPLE reported the president was confused, until it clicked and he responded: "Six months ago, this country was stone-cold dead. We had a country, people didn't think it was gonna survive. And you ask a nasty question like that?"

He warned: "Don't ever say what you said. That's a nasty question."

In another instance of clashing with journalists, Trump said something to a reporter on Capitol Hill.

A journalist from NOTUS asked: "Andy Harris said that you didn’t adequately convince enough people to vote for the bill?"

Trump replied by asking which publication he worked at, and he replied that it was NOTUS.

The president then responded with a deep burn: "Who? I don't even know what the hell that is. Get yourself a real job."
