Trump verbally abuses a female journalist again.
Donald Trump lashed out at a reporter in the Oval Office yesterday who asked him a question about his $1.8 billion fund that he had the Department of Justice approve to disburse money to people he believes were unfairly targeted by the criminal justice system under President Joe Biden, including the Capitol rioters of January 6, 2021.
CNN’s Kaitlan Collins asked Trump whether the fund was “dead or is it on hold,” and Trump said he would check with his lawyers, then started rambling about how the fund is “a beautiful thing.”
It’s a very ugly thing. It’s not “unfair” to arrest and prosecute people who make a violent attempt to overthrow an election.
Collins tried to press him on her original question when he snapped, “Wait a minute. Be quiet!”
He told her she should be “ashamed” of herself. He then turned to the room to talk about her as if she weren’t there and said, “She used to be a conservative from Alabama, can you believe it?”
…
That’s when Trump started to ramble about her and her employer, calling CNN “a very corrupt organization” and her “a corrupt reporter.”
“Never smiles. She’s a young, beautiful woman, never smiles!” he said about Collins, not explaining why she should smile as he berated her for trying to get answers about the legal status of his slush fund.
“I never see a smile on her face. I see her standing there with hatred in her eyes.”
Women are supposed to smile radiantly at him at all times. He can snarl and bark and insult and sneer all he wants, because he has a dick, but women must smirk and simper and placate, because they have no dick.
Anderson Cooper defended Collins, saying on CNN, “That’s the president of the United States, a nearly 80-year-old man who has no problem commenting on her physical appearance and telling her she needs to smile… That doesn’t happen to men. No one’s ever said that to me in an office setting.”
“She was there like every other journalist doing her job, standing around with a bunch of nonsmiling men, by the way, all behind her,” Cooper added. “She gets singled out.”
Because Trump thinks women are inferior and subordinate.
