Donald Trump is making another derogatory remark towards a female reporter.
On Thanksgiving (Thursday, November 27), the 79-year-old President was taking questions from the White House press corps at Mar-a-Lago in Florida when he snapped at CBS News reporter Nancy Cordes.

Suspect Rahmanullah Lakanwal, 29, an Afghan national, drove from his home in Washington state to DC, where he allegedly shot the two troops just blocks from the White House.
At the press conference, Nancy asked Trump about the suspect, who previously worked with the CIA as a member of a “partner force” in Afghanistan.
“U.S. officials say the suspect worked very closely with the CIA in Afghanistan for years and he was vetted and the vetting came up clean,” Nancy said.
Trump replied, “He went cuckoo. He went nuts and that happens too, it happens too often with these people.”
He then held up a photo of Afghans stuffed on an airplane and said, “Look, this is how they come in. They’re standing on top of each other.”
“There was no vetting or anything,” Trump continued. “They came in unvetted. And we have a lot of others in this country and we’re going to get them out. But they go cuckoo. Something happens to them.”
Lakanwal was among hundreds of Afghans allowed into the U.S. under the Biden administration’s “Operation Allies Welcome” program in 2021, during the withdrawal from Kabul.
Trump became visibly irritated when Nancy challenged him about Lakanwal‘s vetting.
“Your DOJ IG just reported this year that there was thorough vetting by DHS and by the FBI of these Afghans who were brought into the U.S.,” Nancy said, “so why do you blame the Biden administration?”
“Because they let ‘em in. Are you stupid? Are you a stupid person?” Trump fired back.
“Because they came in on a plane along with thousands of other people that shouldn’t be here, and you’re just asking questions because you’re a stupid person,” he continued. “They were unvetted. They were unchecked. There were many of ‘em. And they came in on big planes, and it was disgraceful.”
He then insisted that once they are here, “it’s almost impossible” to get people to leave.
Questioning Nancy‘s intelligence is just the latest derogatory remark Trump has made against female reporters in recent weeks.
Earlier this week, he called a female writer “ugly” when she wrote a piece in the New York Times about allegations that he’s losing energy.
He also called another female reporter “Piggy” when she asked him a question about the newly-released Epstein files.
If you missed it, Trump called for this late-night talk show host to be fired.
