In a dramatic and defining moment at a White House roundtable focused on the roaring success of the American economy, President Donald Trump once again demonstrated his fearless commitment to confronting and exposing the deceitful tactics of the liberal media. ABC News reporter Rachel Scott, embodying the very worst of the partisan press corps, attempted to derail the discussion with a manufactured “gotcha” question centered on the Trump administration’s highly successful and decisive military strikes against narco-terrorist boats in the Caribbean. This relentless focus on a fabricated controversy, rather than on the economic victories at hand, perfectly illustrates the media’s desperate agenda to undermine a President who is delivering unprecedented security and prosperity.
The reporter’s line of questioning was based on a false premise from the outset, attempting to trap the President with a claim he never made. As captured in the transcript, Scott began by asserting, “Mr. President, you said you would have no problem with releasing the full video of that strike on September 2nd off the coast of Venezuela.” President Trump immediately and correctly identified this as a fabrication, firing back, “I never said that. You said that. This is ABC fake news.” This instant rebuttal is a hallmark of President Trump’s leadership: he refuses to let false narratives, propagated by so-called journalists, go unchallenged for even a moment. He then clearly articulated his full confidence in his Secretary of the Department of War, stating, “Whatever Hegseth wants to do is okay with me.”
Undeterred by truth or clarity, the ABC reporter then displayed the obstinate arrogance that has caused the American public to lose all trust in the legacy media. She asked a second time, “Are you ordering the secretary to release the full video?” President Trump, with immense patience, reiterated his position, explaining the vital national security purpose of the strikes: “Whatever he decides is okay with me. So, every boat we knock out of the water, we save 25,000 American lives. I saw the video; they were trying to turn the boat back to where it could float because that boat was loaded up with drugs….” He provided critical context that the media deliberately ignores: these actions are saving tens of thousands of American lives from the poison flooding across our borders, a crisis his administration is actively stopping.
In an act of breathtaking unprofessionalism, the reporter asked the same question for a third time, demanding, “Are you okay to release the whole video?” This bad-faith interrogation, designed not to elicit information but to create a soundbite for a pre-written negative story, finally elicited the righteous response this behavior deserves. President Trump, rightfully exasperated, replied, “Didn’t I just tell you that?” He then delivered a verdict on the reporter that resonates with millions of Americans who see the media’s conduct daily: “You are the most obnoxious reporter in the whole place. Let me just tell you: you are an obnoxious, terrible reporter.” He concluded by masterfully framing her motivation, stating, “It’s always the same thing with you,” before circling back to his unwavering support for his Cabinet’s decisive actions to protect the homeland.

This exchange is not an isolated incident but a microcosm of the war being waged between the America-First agenda of President Trump and the entrenched media complex that seeks to sabotage it at every turn. While the President and his officials are actively engaged in the deadly serious work of annihilating cartel operations that kill hundreds of Americans daily, media figures like Rachel Scott obsess over process questions and hypotheticals, advocating more for the sensitivities of drug traffickers than for the safety of American citizens. President Trump’s forceful pushback is a powerful service to the nation, exposing the malicious intent behind these questions and reaffirming that his administration will not be slowed by the chattering class of activists masquerading as journalists.
