President Trump shushed a female reporter on Air Force One on Sunday, before branding her as a "very obnoxious person."
The exchange took place during a press gaggle, during which Trump took questions about the Iran War.
The reporter had asked the president about a picture of him at a dignified transfer ceremony of soldiers killed in the conflict with Iran. The image had been used in a fundraising email for his political action committee.
When asked whether the use of the image was appropriate, Trump said, "I do."
The journalist followed up by questioning whether Trump was raising money from the fallen troops. Then, the president changed tack and said that he "didn't see" the email.
"I mean, somebody puts it out," he added. "We have a lot of people working for us."
He went on to claim that "there's nobody that's better to the military than me."
Eventually, Trump turned back to the reporter and asked her which news outlet she worked for. She responded by saying ABC News.
"One of the worst, most fake, most corrupt...you know what, ABC News, I think it's maybe the most corrupt news organizations (sic) on the planet," he said. "I think they're terrible."
"You're much better," he said, addressing a male journalist.
During the press gaggle, Trump raised a finger and shushed the ABC reporter as she tried to ask another question.
"You're a very obnoxious person," he added.
In yet another exchange between the pair, the ABC reporter asked Trump whether he had any comment on the 6 U.S. service members killed in an Iranian drone strike on a base in Kuwait.
While being asked the question, Trump stared intently at the journalist. When they finished, he abruptly turned away.
"Go ahead," he told the other reporters. "Who else?"
Later on Sunday, the president posted multiple lengthy Truth Social posts, attacking the media for its coverage of the Iran War, the Supreme Court justices who voted against his tariffs, and championing Fox News host Mark Levin.
Trump has repeatedly boasted about the United States military successes in the conflict with Iran.
Yesterday, he claimed that an Iranian oil facility had been "totally demolished" but that the U.S. could continue to bomb the site "just for fun."
Last week, he said that there is "practically nothing left to target" in Iran.
Meanwhile, questions have continued to be raised over the cost of the war.
The U.S. allegedly used $11.3 billion worth of munitions in the first week of the war, sources told The New York Times.
The sources claimed that Pentagon officials confirmed the figure in a closed-door briefing last week, with the huge sum not including the cost of the United States' huge military buildup in the Middle East.
Oil prices have spiked as a result of the conflict, too, putting pressure on Trump domestically after he promised to lower energy prices during his presidential campaign.

Trump had absolutely nothing to say about the service members he sent to die, showing total disrespect for them and their families.
It would be interesting to hear the defense of Trump by his supporters who say they are American military veterans.
MAGA supporters are presently stress-testing good-ole J. D. Vance's response that a 'few eggs loss in service of a greater good' or Spock's famous quote, "The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few" for its effectiveness at neutralizing dissent against the recent loss of seven servicemembers and other lives upcoming.
I remind certain MAGA supporters that they DAMNED Biden for ending the Afghanistan war when 13 servicemembers died in an explosion. And, this very site was heavily propagandized by MAGA supporters over something the Biden administration did not or could not foresee during an exit out of the country.
Clearly, when one fires rockets and drops bombs on an adversary it provokes retaliation which one can expect in one or several forms and fashions!
Addendum:
It is strangely "poetic" how nature, fate, and karma can hold a circumstance in stasis and bring it back to our remembrance.
good luck
No different than almost any other day.
He does use the word "obnoxious" with reporters a lot. (I have been watching "many" videos of such happenings on Youtube today.) Anyway, The "Bloated Head" does not like anybody yelling questions into his monologues.
