President Donald Trump appeared offended when a reporter questioned him about his health after he canceled a campaign rally.
On Thursday, October 29, Trump, 80, spoke with reporters after returning to Joint Base Andrews in Maryland from a rally in South Carolina.
During the exchange, Reuters correspondent Jacob Bogage asked why he had canceled a rally scheduled for Saturday, October 31, in Kansas.
“Mr. President, you’ve been doing a lot of travel. We’ve been doing a lot of travel with you. How are you feeling? How’s your health?” Bogage asked Trump, per the Associated Press.

“I think very good. I think you see that we had a great rally,” the president replied.
Bogage pressed further, asking, “So, you not going to Kansas has nothing to do with you being sick of traveling?”
That was when Trump appeared to snap at him and asked where he worked.
“Oh, you’re sick to ask that question,” the Apprentice alum lashed out. “You are a sick guy. Reuters is terrible, by the way. Make sure you’re doing well. Look at this guy. He’s way out of shape… I feel perfect. You are disgusting. Put yourself in shape. You look like hell.”

Later, White House’s Rapid Response 47 X account shared a clip of the exchange, with the caption, “@POTUS absolutely DESTROYS Fake News @jacobbogage.”
The account went as far as sharing two screenshots of Bogage in his car, seemingly taste-testing some snacks. “Sloppy!” the caption read.
Aside from Kansas, Trump also canceled a scheduled rally in Iowa, but quickly reversed the decision and rescheduled both rallies for Sunday, November 1, according to NBC News.
