Trump was heading to Michigan, where he was expected to give an address about the economy at the GM Proving Grounds in Milford. He was furious after the journalist asked him a question about the Senate and the SAVE America Act, which he has pressured Republicans to support as part of his broader push for stricter voter ID.
“On the Senate, on the SAVE Act, why do you want the U.S. Senate to stay in town?” she asked. “Shouldn’t they be out across the country campaigning?”
“What a stupid question,” Trump said.
Critics and political commentators responded to the president’s remarks.
“Just listen to @realDonaldTrump. He’s utterly incoherent. He can’t follow the questions, can’t maintain a train of thought. He couldn’t run a lemonade stand at this point,” conservative attorney turned anti-Trump activist George Conway wrote on X.

“Trump is incoherent, delusional and dangerous,” White House columnist for Raw America, Brian Karem, wrote on X.
“When someone tells you Trump is super transparent and talks to reporters more than any other president, show them this. He simply doesn’t answer questions. He is the LEAST transparent president,” Zeteo’s Mehdi Hasan wrote on X.
“He absolutely hates strong women, what an insecure pathetic piece of human waste,” progressive political commentator Robert Scannell wrote on Bluesky.
