White House Responds to Trump’s Controversial Insult
The White House spokesperson defended President Donald Trump’s recent insult directed at a female journalist, claiming it reflects the bluntness that helped Trump secure a second election victory, according to the English section of webangah News Agency citing Rosia al-Youm.
During a press conference, the spokesperson said the president interacts with everyone in the room with frankness and honesty. “You have seen this. I believe this is one of many reasons why the American people chose him again,” he added.
Last week, President Trump called a reporter asking about cases linked to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein “shut up, pig.”
In response to questions regarding emails released last week-including those related to Department of Justice directives and Epstein’s correspondence suggesting presidential knowledge of human trafficking-Trump said, “I don’t know anything about that.”
This is not the first time Trump has insulted journalists; he has repeatedly used crude language especially toward female reporters.
