During Monday’s roundtable discussion on the U.S. economy, President Donald Trump unloaded on another White House reporter he humiliated as “obnoxious” and “terrible.”
The journalist taking the heat this time was Rachel Scott, senior political correspondent for ABC News, who was asking the president if he were committed to releasing the entire video of a U.S. military strike Sept. 2 on a suspected narco-terrorist ship.
“Whatever [War Secretary Pete] Hegseth wants to do is OK with me,” Trump said.
“So are you committed to releasing the full video?” Scott pressed.
“Didn’t I just tell you that?” an incredulous Trump responded. “You are the most obnoxious reporter in the whole place.”
“Let me just tell you, you are an obnoxious, a terrible, actually a terrible reporter. And it’s always the same thing with you. I told you, whatever Pete Hegseth wants to do is OK with me.”

This is the second ABC News reporter torched by the president in three weeks.
As WorldNetDaily reported on Nov. 18, Mary Bruce was verbally shredded by Trump when she asked him why he himself just didn’t release the Jeffrey Epstein files without Congress getting involved.
“It’s not the question that I mind, it’s your attitude. I think you are a terrible reporter. It’s the way you ask these questions,” Trump told Bruce.

“You start off with a man who’s highly respected, asking him a horrible, insubordinate, and just a terrible question. And you could even ask that same exact question nicely. You’re all psyched up. Somebody psyched you over at ABC. You’re going to psych it. You’re a terrible person and a terrible reporter.”
“I think the license should be taken away from ABC because your news is so fake and it’s so wrong,” Trump added.
“You’re a radical left network, but I think the way you ask a question with the anger and the meanness is terrible. You ought to go back and learn how to be a reporter. No more questions from you.”
