Once again, President Donald Trump has infuriated viewers of ABC World News Tonight.<\/p>\n

The long-running ABC News<\/a> show welcomed back David Muir, <\/a>52, after he took his usual weekend break, but with him came a slew of breaking news stories and updates, including one on President Trump.<\/p>\n

Addressing viewers at home from the studio in New York, David announced, “President Trump touring a Ford factory in Detroit amid new inflation numbers this evening, showing the prices of coffee, beef and candy up, the president declaring an economic boom and tonight, the images of the President at that factory also making headlines.<\/a>“<\/p>\n

“What President Trump did when he was heckled by a worker at the factory, what the worker said, and how the President responded, the gesture the President made. Here’s Mary Bruce,” the ABC journalist concluded as he passed on to his colleague.<\/p>\n

Mary then began her report, telling viewers, “Tonight, President Trump touring a Ford factory in Michigan, painting a rosy picture of the economy,” before a clip played of the president declaring, “The Trump economic boom is officially begun.”<\/p>\n

The ABC correspondent then pointed out that “new numbers out today show inflation up 2.7% since this time last year.” She continued to put the facts straight, adding, “Gas prices are down, but household staples like coffee up nearly 20% ground beef up more than 15% candy up 10% the typical American household now spending $184 more a month to purchase the same goods and services as a year ago.”<\/p>\n

Mary continued, “The President, blaming Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell for not further lowering interest rates… Trump’s Justice Department has launched a criminal investigation into Powell and renovations of Fed buildings. Powell says, ‘It’s part of the President’s pressure campaign.’<\/p>\n

“And tonight, JP Morgan, CEO, Jamie Dimon sounding the alarm, saying everyone we know believes in Fed independence, and anything that chips away at that is probably not a great idea. Top Republicans also skeptical.”<\/p>\n

She then shared, “Today, I asked the president, ‘So he either is incompetent or is crooked,'” to which the president responded, “I don’t know what he is, but he does. Certainly, he doesn’t do a very good job.”<\/p>\n

Mary then turned her attention to a more recent incident involving the president, saying, “As he toured the factory today, Trump heckled by a man who shouted, ‘pedophile protector,’ the president responding with what seemed to be an expletive, then appearing to give the man the finger.<\/p>\n

“The White House tonight saying the man was quote, ‘in a complete fit of rage, and the President gave an appropriate and unambiguous response.'”<\/p>\n

The journalist concluded her report, saying, “The President making his economic pitch there in Michigan after spending the last several weeks focused on foreign affairs. But Trump and Republicans know well that the midterms are quickly approaching and that the economy is the top issue for voters.”<\/p>\n

Mary’s segment on Trump’s latest shenanigans was shared to ABC World News Tonight’s Instagram account, where fans weighed in on the developments.<\/p>\n

\u201cHow much longer, people? This s–t is beyond absurd now,” one user asked, with another commenting a GIF of Jimmy Fallon saying, \u201cEmbarrassing!\u201d<\/p>\n

A third chimed in, “People watch him slowly become unhinged!! This is unacceptable and he needs to be held accountable for his actions!!”<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, someone else joked, “I don\u2019t believe the bar for a US president could go any lower,” and someone else echoed, “The least professional person in the world.” A sixth user joined in on the chatter, declaring, “Give that worker a raise!!!!!!!!!! He told the truth.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"David Muir has made his return to ABC World News Tonight after a brief hiatus but he was…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":283766,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[265],"tags":[48262,2854,356,18,117,19,17,128],"class_list":{"0":"post-283765","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-tv","8":"tag-abc-network","9":"tag-david-muir","10":"tag-donald-trump","11":"tag-eire","12":"tag-entertainment","13":"tag-ie","14":"tag-ireland","15":"tag-tv"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/283765","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=283765"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/283765\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/283766"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=283765"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=283765"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=283765"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
