"insubordinate?" The reporter doesn't work for Trump, he works for her. Politicians are public servants, not kings.

I feel like Trump saying "You're a bad reporter" is a badge of honor for real reporters

When Trump insults you personally and professionally, you know you're doing something right.

So much respect for that reporter, she has such unshakable courage in the face of so much misogyny.

Those reporters who are verbally abused are true professionals. I would clapback - "Insults aren't answers. Let's try the question again."

Trump called the reporter insubordinate. Doesn’t he understand that she doesn’t work for him. He is supposed to work for her.

"It's not the question it's your attitude...." "You ask such a terrible question...." So it was the question?

I love the irony of Trump, sitting next to MBS, calling Mary Bruce a terrible person. She stood her ground in there and that’s more than most people present at that news conference can say
