US EditionTrump Snaps At Reporter In Oval Office: 'You Are Really Obnoxious'
President Trump criticized reporter Ebony McMorris during a press conference after she questioned his National Guard deployment plans to Memphis, highlighting tensions over federal intervention.
- On September 19, 2025, President Donald Trump confronted reporter Ebony McMorris in the Oval Office after she inquired about his intentions to send National Guard forces to Memphis, Tennessee.
- At the request of Tennessee Governor Bill Lee, Trump authorized the establishment of a federal task force in Memphis to combat crime, building on his previous efforts deploying forces in Washington, D.C., and Los Angeles.
- The task force includes the Tennessee National Guard, FBI, U.S. Marshals, and other agencies, while Memphis Mayor Paul Young opposed the troop deployment and said the city has no choice but will try to limit its impact.
- Trump called McMorris "really obnoxious" and said, "I'm not going to talk to you until I call on you," asserting the task force will handle crime in Memphis and other cities step by step.
- The deployment plan faces criticism amid reports that Memphis's crime rate hit a 25-year low in August, but Trump's team insists the effort is popular and necessary to maintain safety.
