Donald Trump snaps at female reporter in furious outburst

Donald Trump has once again lost his temper with a female journalist after he snapped at an ABC reporter.

On Thursday, Trump took questions from reporters after the Republican National Convention.

During the convention, Trump wildly announced that if his party win both chambers in November’s midterm elections, every American adult would receive $5,000.

The plan would cost over a trillion dollars and Trump gave no indication of how it would be funded.

Speaking on the tarmac before boarding Air Force One, Trump was asked by ABC News’s Rachel Scott why a financial offer was needed to get Americans to vote Republican if Trump’s economic polices were working, as he claims they are.

Trump denied he is incentivising voters, saying the financial sum would instead be “a reward for people having to put up with five years of a horrible situation caused by Joe Biden.”

After Trump rambled on for a bit more, Scott tried to ask a follow-up question. At this point, a furious Trump snapped at Scott, leaning towards her and menacingly saying “not you.”

He added: “You’re the worst.”

Even by Trump’s standards, people were left stunned by his behaviour and clear fury at Scott.

There was also plenty of praise for Scott and her questioning towards Trump.

This is of course far from the first time Trump has shown his true colours in how he talks to and treats women.

In November, the Republican told a female reporter to be “quiet piggy,” whilst there are multiple occasions this year where he has lost his patience after scrutiny from female journalists, including one occasion when he walked out of an interview.
