US president Donald Trump<\/a> was told to \u201cgo f*** himself\u201d after he lost it at a female reporter on the lawn of the White House. Trump was being quizzed on the expansion of the ballroom on the property, admitting he had \u201cdoubled the size\u201d of the project \u2013 but when MS NOW reporter Akayla Gardner assumed that meant double the cost, Trump lost it live on camera.<\/p>\n

He fumed: \u201cI doubled the size of it, you dumb person<\/a>. Double the size. You are not a smart person. Right over here, wait a minute\u2026 based on a lot of things that have happened over the last year, we doubled the size of the ballroom, so we\u2019re going to have a ballroom that\u2019s appropriate for the White House. We doubled the size. The ballroom now is ahead of schedule and it\u2019s a little bit under budget, depending on the finishes that we do.\u201d<\/p>\n

He fumed on air: \u201c\u2018You dumb person.\u2019 I mean, A) how many lies did he just cram in there \u2013 \u2018under budget\u2019, \u2018I had to double it\u2019 \u2013 no choice, sorry America!<\/p>\n

\u201cI know I\u2019ve said this before, but when is a reporter going to snap back and say, \u2018Don\u2019t you f***ing talk to me that way, I\u2019m a goddamned adult. I\u2019m here working. You work for us, a*****e. We\u2019re the ones who elected you, you\u2019re being paid by us. Go f*** yourself.\u2019<\/p>\n

\u201cSomebody, for the love of God! I will buy the Pulitzer for you if you will just tell this man, \u2018How f***ing dare you, do not talk to me that way\u2019.\u201d<\/p>\n

Social media users were divided, however, with some arguing the male journalists should help stand up to Trump when he blasts female reporters.<\/p>\n

One wrote: \u201cWhen will men stand up for women?\u201d<\/p>\n

Another said: \u201cNo reporter has ever spoken to a president the way you\u2019re suggesting. But that\u2019s mostly because no reporter has ever had to.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cPeople, you have to understand. They\u2019re making a living just like you and me. They have mortgages and families. They can\u2019t just tell the president to f*** off and keep their jobs,\u201d someone else pointed out.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"US president Donald Trump was told to \u201cgo f*** himself\u201d after he lost it at a female reporter…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":964724,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[5],"tags":[1594,32,23427,250667,12,1757,269456,269454,133874,269455,269457,26],"class_list":["post-964723","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-world","tag-cnn","tag-donald-trump","tag-fox-news","tag-ms-now","tag-news","tag-trump","tag-trump-age","tag-trump-female-reporter","tag-trump-health","tag-trump-loses-it","tag-trump-torn-apart","tag-world"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/116585367431609759","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/964723","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=964723"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/964723\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/964724"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=964723"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=964723"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=964723"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
