President Donald Trump unloaded on reporter Andrew Feinberg in the Oval Office, calling him a "sick person" and suggesting something is mentally wrong with him. The exchange, captured on video and shared by the White House's Rapid Response account, shows Trump turning on Feinberg after the reporter pressed to ask a question.
"What's wrong with you? Are you a sick person? I actually think there's something wrong with you," Trump said in the video posted to social media.
Feinberg Interrupts as Trump Tries to Answer
The confrontation came as Feinberg attempted to interject while Trump was speaking. In the short video clip, Trump can be heard saying, "You won't want to go away, won't you, why it's quiet? It's wrong with you." Feinberg then says, "Mr. President, I think there's something wrong with you. I want to ask Mr. President."
The White House Rapid Response account, which shared the clip to its social media followers, described it as the president "absolutely roasts Mongoloid Moron @AndrewFeinberg for his disgraceful behavior."

The post from @RapidResponse47, which has already drawn significant engagement, framed the exchange as Trump pushing back on a reporter who would not let him finish. The account's blunt characterization signals the administration's view that Feinberg crossed a line during the Oval Office availability.
Trump has made no secret of his disdain for what he calls the "fake news" media, and this latest exchange shows he is willing to call out individual reporters by name when he feels they are being disruptive or disrespectful.
