President Donald Trump snapped at another female journalist on December 8, calling her “obnoxious” after she asked him about the administration’s boat strikes. The outburst took place during a White House roundtable, where Trump appeared tired and worn out as he announced a $12 billion relief package for farmers affected by his own trade policies.
The boat strike against an alleged drug boat in the Caribbean has become the center of controversy. Americans first learned of the strike when he announced in the Oval Office that the military had shot down a drug-carrying boat that was coming from Venezuela.
It was first in the series of attacks, leaving more than 80 people dead across the Caribbean and the Eastern Pacific. As per The Daily Beast, the incident has drawn significant criticism after two survivors clinging to the overturned, burning vessel were killed by U.S. forces, prompting allegations of possible war crimes.
BREAKING: In a shocking moment, Trump crashes out on ABC reporter Rachel Scott who asks him if he approves releasing the boat strike video. “Let me just tell you — you are an obnoxious– a terrible reporter.”

Meanwhile, Trump spoke to ABC reporter Rachel Scott, who asked whether he would direct Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth to release the complete video of a September 2 “double tap” strike on a suspected drug boat.
Even though Donald Trump previously said he was fine with the footage being released, he reversed himself yesterday and said, “I didn’t say that,” he insisted. “You said that. I didn’t say that. Whatever Hegseth wants to do is fine with me.”
When reporter Scott tried to clarify his comments, he yelled at her. “You are the most obnoxious reporter here,” he snapped. “You’re an obnoxious, actually a terrible, reporter. And it’s always the same with you. I told you, whatever Pete wants to do is OK with me.”
Just weeks earlier, in November, Donald Trump called Bloomberg correspondent Catherine Lucey a “piggy” during a brief exchange aboard his Air Force One. Lucey began asking, “If there’s nothing incriminating in the files, sir, why not—” before Trump cut her off, shouting, “Quiet! Quiet, piggy!” and waving his finger.
After his exchange with the reporter, Trump’s long-time critic, Mary Trump, called him out, saying, “Donald is a lifelong, hardcore misogynist, so he really doesn’t like when women ask him tough questions. This actually happened yesterday.”
Trump’s repeated insults at female reporters have now become a pattern that many lawmakers and critics have called out. Over the weekend, he also targeted CNN’s Kaitlan Collins.

In a Truth Social post attacking her, he misspelled her name. He called her “Stupid and Nasty” for noting ballooning costs of White House’s new million-dollar ballroom project. Many psychologists and health experts have claimed that the 79-year-old’s behavior is deeply concerning and suggests he may be unfit for office.
Former Johns Hopkins psychologist Dr. John Gartner, a former Johns Hopkins psychologist, says Trump is showing what he calls a ‘massive increase’ in signs consistent with dementia, which he says is worsening the president’s “malignant narcissism.”
How bizarre that the media is silent as the world watches Trump’s cognitive decline. I would under if history will see them as having failed America?
Take a listen to Clinical Psychologist John Gardner trying to understand the sane washing going on.

Speaking on The Daily Beast Podcast, Gartner said Trump’s confused speeches, memory lapses, and nonsensical remarks reveal “immense cognitive decline,”
Yet, the administration, alongside his physician, Capt. Sean Barbabella confirmed that he’s in excellent health after POTUS underwent two health checkups since he began his tenure.
