Donald Trump resorted to his typical tactic of attacking a female reporter who dared to ask him a challenging question during his visit to the Machine Shed restaurant in Urbandale, Iowa. ABC Newsâ Rachel Scott inquired about the administration officials’ description of Alex Pretti, the ICU nurse tragically killed by a federal agent in Minneapolis over the weekend, as a “domestic terrorist.” Trump dismissed her as “ABC fake news” and belittled her by saying she hadn’t asked him a good question in years, despite acknowledging she was a nice woman.
Scott persisted in asking her question, but Trump brushed her off and moved on to another journalist, claiming that ABC is among the worst in the business. Eventually, Scott managed to pose her question, asking Trump for his opinion on whether Pretti was a domestic terrorist or an assassin. Trump responded by expressing his disapproval of Pretti carrying a gun and fully loaded magazines, deeming it an unfortunate incident but clarifying that it was not the right approach.
The White Houseâs rapid response account on X shared a clip of the interaction, highlighting another instance of Trump showing disrespect towards a female reporter. This behavior is not new, as Trump has previously insulted other female journalists, including calling them “stupid” and “ugly.” It’s a pattern of behavior that raises concerns about his treatment of the press and women in general. text to make it more concise:
