Trump Insults Reporter's Appearance when Asked About Canceled Rally
Trump cut off the briefing after calling a Reuters reporter sick and disgusting, as he defended his health and said he had just finished a perfect physical.
- On an airport tarmac, President Donald Trump abruptly ended a press gaggle after a Reuters reporter asked about his decision to cancel a Kansas rally scheduled for Saturday, calling the reporter "sick" and "disgusting."
- Trump has reportedly grown frustrated with his demanding midterm rally schedule, questioning why he continues traveling while not on the ballot despite complaining about travel requirements since he was 80 years old.
- Visibly drenched with sweat during the briefing, the president dismissed health concerns, insisting he "just finished a perfect physical at Walter Reed" and telling the reporter, "Put yourself in shape, you look like hell."
- This pattern of hostility reflects Trump's documented history of attacking journalists over health inquiries; in July, he wrote on Truth Social that New York Times reporter Maggie Haberman "will pay the price" after questioning his fitness on NOW.
- Polling shows Marshall trailing Democratic challenger Adam Hamilton in a state Trump carried by 16 points in 2024; Trump warned that if Democrats win, the country faces a 1929-style economic depression.
