President Donald Trump insulted two female reporters on Tuesday, calling one a “dumb person” after she asked about the controversial White House ballroom project, and another a “stupid person” after she asked about inflation.
Speaking outside the White House, Trump responded to MS NOW reporter’s Akayla Gardner comment about the cost of the ballroom doubling, making the perplexing statement that it’s “on budget, under budget” and also “ahead of schedule.”
“I doubled the size of it, you dumb person,” Trump told Gardner. “Double the size. You are not a smart person.”
Another female reporter asked Trump about rising inflation and whether his policies were working.
“They’re working incredibly,” Trump said. “If you go back to just before the war, for the last three months, inflation was at 1.7%. Now, we had a choice. Let these lunatics have a nuclear weapon — if you want to do that, then you’re a stupid person.”
