President Donald Trump took a dig at senior White House correspondent Jacqui Heinrich.
During the Fox News broadcast of The Sunday Briefing on May 10, host Heinrich, 37, spoke with her guest, Democratic Representative Ro Khanna from California. The two discussed President Trump‘s upcoming state visit to China, where he will meet with President Xi Jinping on May 13. Khanna hoped the president’s visit will “get a better deal for our soybean farmers.”
Following the interview, Trump blasted Khanna and Heinrich in a harsh post on Truth Social. This comes after the president ranted against reporter Niall Stanage of The Hill during a press briefing two days ago, on May 8.

Before bringing up the president into the discussion, Khanna initially said, “Our soybean farmers are hurting. Our corn farmers are hurting. We need to have more export markets open in China and around the world. China has been bringing in investment into the United States and having some of these factories open up that are hiring people who are undocumented, abusing hours.”
He continued, “The president needs to make it clear to China that they should not be opening up manufacturing in the United States instead of subsidizing it and violating the law.”

Trump then took to Truth Social and called Khanna a “sleazebag.” He wrote, “Radical Left Congressman from the failed State of California.
He claimed that Khanna “should not be allowed on Fox News” anymore before taking a swipe at Heinrich, demanding that there needed to be an “‘anchor’ who is capable of disputing his lies, one after another, and closing down his FAKE (bulls–t) narrative.”
Trump railed about how Khanna was “similar, but worse than Hakeem Jeffries, only with a somewhat higher IQ.”
Heinrich is not the only female reporter that Trump has ranted against this past week.

On May 8, the president got into a tirade against ABC News senior political correspondent, Rachel Scott, who challenged him on prioritizing Washington, D.C. renovations over the Iran war.
Near the Lincoln Memorial, Trump unveiled his vision for transforming the historic landmark. Scott asked him about the skyrocketing oil and gas costs amid the fragile ceasefire between the U.S. and Iran.

Trump fumed, “Such a stupid question that you asked. This is one of the worst reporters. She’s with ABC fake news, and she’s a horror show.”
He continued, “She’s saying, ‘Why would you bother fixing this up?’ Why would I bother taking 11 or 12 truckloads of filth out of the water in front of the Lincoln Monument? That’s what made our country great. Beauty made our country. People made our country great.”
Trump sounded off on her question as a “disgrace to our country.”
