Well, this one wasn’t exactly a weird one, but it reinforces Trump’s behavior yet again. This attitude of his has got to go. He’s incredibly rude, and it doesn’t seem to penetrate his arrogance. He can’t accept being questioned and considers it a personal insult. What is his problem? Thank you, Raw Story:
President Donald Trump raised eyebrows on Sunday night in response to a female reporter’s question about his plans to deploy U.S. troops to fight in the war in Iran. Trump spoke with reporters on Air Force One, where a female reporter asked Trump about reports that as many as 5,000 U.S. Marines and sailors had been deployed to Iran. Trump dismissed the question and told the reporter that she is a “very nasty person.”
WHY does he have such trouble with female reporters? Half his ‘cabinet’ is female, but he doesn’t seem to have any problems with them, except for Noem, of course. Still surprised that he punted her. A female reporter has likely worked longer and harder than any male reporter. Gender bias is alive and well. So why, indeed, does he have trouble with female reporters? He doesn’t say the same garbage about any of the guys.
Trump has a long history of making derogatory and dismissive remarks towards female reporters. For instance, he told CNN’s Kaitlan Collins that she “doesn’t smile often” during a recent press conference. Trump has also snapped at a female reporter, telling her, “Quiet, piggy!” Trump’s response raised the eyebrows of political analysts and observers. “It’s always women reporters he talks to this way,” journalist Barry Malone posted on X.
Why in the hell do they put up with that? It’s abuse. It should be time to push back, even at the risk of losing the press position, because someone really needs to let him have it. Enough is enough. Would someone’s boss not be understanding if one of them popped off? It could make for some pretty interesting ranting from Donnie.
“Donald Trump isn’t fit for office,” comedian Ginny Robinson posted on X. /// “I’ll never understand why the White House press corps put up with this s–-,” Mehdi Hasan, founder of Zeteo News, posted on X. “Have some self-respect. It’s not worth it folks. Also: same folks happily tell everyone how much access they have to Trump versus Biden. Sigh.” //// “Imagine being one of the 5,000 troops being sent overseas, and this is the level of explanation your commander-in-chief gives,” independent media creator Alex Cole posted on X.
“Trump is pissed and refuses to explain that he’s sending 5000 US service members to Iran because he’s the fucking moron who started a war with Iran without an exit strategy,” writer Polly Sigh posted on X. //// “When you hate accountability,” writer and activist Daniel Kurz posted on X. “Republicans don’t care about our people.”
Yes, indeed. Trump isn’t a leader. He’s a petulant child who has no self-respect and screams until he gets what he wants. He doesn’t give a sh!t about women except as attractive tools. But he keeps blurting out stupid things and personal things. And what we do not need to know, too. More on that in a different piece. Really, Trump respects no one and no-thing. Hey MAGA, are you still happy now for putting this moron in office?
See you soon!
Friends, I know everyone begs you for money. I promise that among all those asking for spare change, we are the smallest and the hardest-working. We’re a group of old, disabled people, except for one writer in his mid-50s. The rest of us are in our sixties and seventies, and this is a labor of love. All we’re asking for is the chance to keep telling the truth about Trump and help ensure democracy survives. If you can help, please do. Thank you. Ursula
