It’s no secret that Donald Trump has a long history of being disrespectful as hell when it comes to the reporters that are attempting to cover him and his three-ring circus day in and day out.
However, over the course of his presidency, it’s become increasingly clear that Trump has even less respect for those reporters when they happen to be female.
Now, Donald has never been known for treating women well — throughout his entire lifetime, really. In fact, the dozens of rape and sexual assault allegations prove the exact opposite, actually. But his time in the spotlight as president has really highlighted how ill-mannered and downright abusive he is towards people of the opposite sex.
Especially so when you add them to the “fake news media” that he already loathes.

Donald gave us yet another prime example of my point today during a cabinet meeting in the East Room of the White House when he lashed out at a female reporter for no other reason than the fact that she asked a question he evidently wasn’t fond of.
During the White House event, the reporter asked Trump why he hasn’t yet rolled out a plan to get “36 million unemployed Americans back to work” as Trump is “overseeing historic economic despair.”
“Oohhh… I think… I think we’ve announced a plan. We’re opening up our country,” Trump replied as he huffed and sighed before firing off at the reporter, “Just a rude person you are.”
“We’re opening up our country. We’re opening it up very fast,” Trump continued as he spouted off a non-answer about each state opening on its own timeline — seemingly choosing not to mention the fact that it’s blowing up in their faces in several states as nowhere had a real, solid reopening plan to begin with, thanks to Donald skirting the important parts of the CDC’s reopening guidelines.
“When you see the numbers I think even you will be impressed, which it’s pretty hard to impress you,” Trump said, getting in one more dig before cutting the reporter off, saying, “that’s enough of you.”
Frankly, it blows my mind that we live in a day and age where the literal president can get away with this sort of behavior.
