Because he was upset with the question, Trump yelled at the female journalist, calling them "piggy" and "terrible," and threatened to revoke their license.

During the White House meeting with Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, Trump became angry at ABC News' female reporter Mary Bruce for her question and verbally attacked her and threatened to revoke her license.

Several days earlier, Trump had also insulted Bloomberg News' journalist Katherine Ruse, calling her a "stupid head," when she asked questions about the sex offender Epstein.

At that time, Ruse asked on Air Force One: "If there is no evidence of wrongdoing in the documents, why don't you release the information related to the disgraced sex offender Epstein?"

Trump pointed at her and said, "Shut up, shut up, stupid head."

On Tuesday, after Bruce asked about potential conflicts of interest between the Trump family business and Saudi Arabia, she also questioned Crown Prince Mohammed about whether he was involved in the killing of dissident journalist Jamal Khashoggi in 2018.

Bruce said, "U.S. intelligence agencies have determined that you were behind the brutal murder of a journalist. The families of 9/11 victims are extremely angry that you are in the Oval Office. Why should Americans believe you?"

Trump angrily interrupted and said, "ABC is fake news, one of the worst in the industry."

He emphasized that he "has nothing to do with the Trump Organization." The company is currently run by his two eldest sons, who announced on Monday a deal with a Saudi developer to build a resort in the Maldives.

Trump scolded Bruce, saying, "You don't have to ask such questions to embarrass our guests."

When Bruce continued asking about the Epstein case, Trump became angry again. He said, "It's not the question itself that I mind, it's your attitude. I think you're a terrible journalist."

Trump insisted that he had "no connection with Epstein" and reiterated that the whole scandal was a "hoax."

He also told Bruce, "Your lousy company is one of the main instigators."

Subsequently, he demanded FCC Chairman Brendan Carr to take action to revoke ABC's license.

Trump pointed at Bruce and said, "You can't ask any more questions anymore." (AP) (Mirror Talk)
