Donald Trump Responds To Reporter Outside The White House In Resurfaced Clip

A clip originally filmed in September 2025 has recently started making the rounds online again after being reposted on March 9th. And it's quickly going viral for the second time!

In the video, Trump can be seen speaking to reporters outside the White House before leaving for the U.S. Open men's finals. During the exchange, he responded to questions about Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., his decision to rename the Department of Defense, and his reasoning for targeting cities like Chicago in his latest crime crackdown.

At one point in the exchange, Trump appeared to snap at a reporter, saying: "That's fake news. Listen. Be quiet, listen. You don't listen. You never listen. That's why you're second rate."

He then added: "We're not going to war. We're going to clean up our cities. We're gonna clean them up so they don't kill five people every weekend. That's not war, that's common sense."

"Who's shocked?" asked one Instagram user. "What he said made zero sense," thought a second, as a third exclaimed: "Sense ain't common nowadays!"

"Audacity must be on sale," quipped a fourth, as a fifth declared: "It's insane." "I can't believe this is our reality," wrote a sixth, as a seventh added: "That's not an appropriate way to speak to people."

"He LOVES talking down to intelligent women!" declared an eighth, as a ninth agreed: "He doesn't do that to men." "He NEVER does it with male reporters," echoed a tenth, as an eleventh chimed in: "I don't care who you are, talking to me like that as an adult is unacceptable!"
