President Trump Snaps at ABC News Correspondent Rachel Scott During Press Briefing

President Trump dismissed ABC News correspondent Rachel Scott as "the worst" during a press interaction on Thursday. The exchange occurred on the tarmac before the president departed from Dallas, where Scott questioned the rationale behind his proposed stimulus payments and tariff refund checks. Scott asked how the federal government could afford the checks given the national debt exceeds $40 trillion, and why he needed to offer incentives if his economic policies were already working. President Trump replied that the payments were a reward for enduring the previous administration's policies. As Scott attempted to continue her question, President Trump leaned in and snapped, "Not you. Not you. You’re the worst," referring to both Scott and her network. This interaction highlights a recurring pattern of President Trump's combative relationship with female journalists. He has previously clashed with several other female reporters, including Kristen Holmes and Kaitlan Collins. White House spokesperson Olivia Wales stated that the president calls out liberal reporters who ask biased questions to deliver his message without apology.
