Trump Calls ABC's Rachel Scott 'the Most Obnoxious Reporter' in the White House for Asking About Pentagon Scandal
people.com

... President Donald Trump's attacks on female journalists in the White House press corps continued on Monday, Dec. 8.

The president held a roundtable in the Cabinet Room to begin the week, sharing an update on a long-awaited farm aid package. At the end of the planned remarks, he took questions from the press, including from ABC News' Rachel Scott.

Inquiring about the controversial recent military strike on a Venezuelan boat that was said to be carrying illegal drugs, Scott asked if the Trump administration planned to release the full video of the attack.

"Are you committed to releasing the full video?" Scott, 32, asked.

Trump, 79, grew irritated by her question. "Didn't I just tell you that?" he fired back.

"You are the most obnoxious reporter in the whole place," the president continued. "Let me just tell you, you are an obnoxious-- a terrible reporter. And it's always the same thing with you. I told you." ...

... Congress is using its marquee defense bill to force the Pentagon into turning over videos of strikes against suspected drug-smuggling boats off the coast of Latin America.

Lawmakers plan to withhold a quarter of Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth's travel budget until the Pentagon provides them with the videos.

The demand, quietly tucked into the final draft of the annual defense policy bill, calls for "unedited video of strikes conducted against designated terrorist organizations in the area of responsibility of the United States Southern Command" to the House and Senate Armed Services Committees. ...

... Tariffs on steel and aluminum have once again sparked tension across U.S. manufacturing throughout 2025. President Trump's 25% duties on metals and global imports have raised costs for equipment makers nationwide. Farm machinery manufacturers face some of the steepest exposure, with higher input prices squeezing margins.

The result is billions in added costs that are already flowing through to producers, dealers, and ultimately farmers. ...



Yet, Pres Turmp is trying to deflect away from that and trying to blame the increased cost of farm equipment upon ~pollution standards.~
