You may have heard this before: Donald Trump confronted a female reporter after she asked a reasonable, nonprovocative question.
The thin-skinned bully got in the face of ABC’s Rachel Scott after she asked him a question about his national midterm voter bribe:
“Mr. President, on the checks: The U.S. is still $40 trillion in debt. If your economic policies are working, why do you need an incentive for people to turn out to vote?”
I am a blogger, not a professional reporter, and I would have asked the question more bluntly:
“Mr. Trump, on your illegal and unethical bribe: The U.S is still $40 trillion in debt. Your economic policies are a disaster. Your tariffs and your senseless war on Iran are spiking inflation. If you honestly think the economy is booming, why do you need to bribe people to turn out to vote?”
As usual Trump pivoted to blaming Biden, when Scott countered:
“But you also offered checks through—”
“Not you. Not you!” Trump screamed his orange face turning red. He leaned in threateningly close to Scott, close enough to smother her with his toxic breath. “Hey, not you,” he yelled again. “Your network … you’re the worst.”
White House correspondents should receive combat pay, imagine if you will face-to-face with an evil entity with a mouth that looks like sphincter and a neck that resembles a vagina.
I commend Scott for her professional demeanor and for having the tenacity to hold the president accountable for his unethical behavior.
