President Donald Trump on Thursday demanded that a reporter stop asking about the group messaging scandal involving members of his Cabinet and other high-level officials.

While traveling on Air Force One, a reporter asked Trump if he wanted to weigh in on the inspector general investigation into Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s use of the Signal messaging app to discuss highly sensitive military plans.

At first, Trump was unclear on the question. “What is it?” Trump said.

“There’s an IG investigation into the secretary of defense’s use of the Signal app,” she said.

Trump got irritated.

“Oh, is that? You’re bringing that up again?” a miffed Trump fired back. “Don’t bring that up again. Your editor’s probably, that’s such a wasted story.”

He's having that reaction because he is using it. Jfc, he's chatting it up on signal.

"Absolute fit?" A headline should describe what actually happened, or otherwise it's just click-bait. Trump expressed frustration. That's it.

That parallels how he reacted when given a softball question about what he would say to scared US citizens in light of a growing pandemic. He avoided being Presidential and a leader and attacked the reporter for asking a nasty question. Personal attacks is all he knows, should have stayed in the wrestling business.

This is someone who not only made Hillary's emails a core part of his 2016 campaign, but still will not shut up about it in 2025...
