President Donald Trump does not hold back when speaking to the media. Recently aboard Air Force One, the president had some choice words for reporters questioning him about the results of his recent MRI results. He told one particular female reporter that she would be “incapable” of passing a cognitive test when she asked him a question.
Donald Trump said he aced the cognitive test and would be willing to release MRI results
Last October, the president shared that he got an MRI and that the results were perfect. He shared this before his trip to Asia. As the oldest president in US history, Trump’s health has always been a hot-button topic.
Recently, reporters continued to ask questions about the MRI and his recent health checkup. He mentioned that his results were “perfect” but didn’t share any further information.
A female reporter asked him what part of his body the MRI was looking at, and he answered her by saying, “I have no idea. It was just an MRI. It wasn’t the brain because I took a cognitive test and I aced it. I got a perfect mark, which you would be incapable of doing.” He looked at another reporter and added, “You too.”
He was also quick to claim that another news outlet was doing badly. When asked to release his MRI results by NewsNation, he responded with, “Failing. Failing NewsNation. NewsNation is doing lousy, by the way.”
This is hardly the first time the president has spoken to female reporters in a nasty way. He previously told New York Times columnist Katie Rogers that she was ugly, among other things. This was on the heels of her writing a piece suggesting that Trump was fatigued and not in good health.
After that, another female reporter asked about his government’s vetting process, and he replied with, “Are you stupid? Are you a stupid person?”
A White House spokeswoman told Newsweek in an email statement that the president has “never been politically correct.” They mentioned he doesn’t hold back, and it’s this transparency the American people voted for. The statement went on to add that it wasn’t about gender and more about the president’s declining trust in the media.
