  • On November 27, 2025, President Donald Trump called a female reporter a `stupid person` and cut off the exchange during a press availability at Mar‑a‑Lago, Palm Beach, Florida.
  • On Nov 26, police arrested 29-year-old Afghan Rahmanullah Lakanwal, who came to the U.S. in 2021 and was granted asylum earlier this year, after a shooting near the White House left one Guard member dead.

  • Amid widespread online ridicule, President Donald Trump's insult adds to a pattern targeting women journalists in recent weeks, while some conservatives blamed the Biden administration's immigration policies for the D.C. attack.
  • The dispute frames a larger policy fight over vetting and resettlement, as officials say Afghans were vetted while President Donald Trump insists many entered without screening, and his administration claimed deportations of 527,000 migrants this year.
