During a live press conference on Capitol Hill, Donald Trump snapped at a reporter, telling him to “get a real job” after a perfectly ordinary question.
❓ From policy pitch to personal attack The president had just met fellow Republicans to drum up support for his “big, beautiful” domestic agenda bill. A NOTUS journalist asked:
“Andy Harris said that you didn’t adequately convince enough people to vote for the bill?”

“Who? I don’t even know what the hell that is. Get yourself a real job.” He refused to engage further and moved on.
📺 Viral viral viral Footage of the exchange exploded online. Social media users couldn’t believe the president dismissed a reporter by questioning his very career.
📰 A pattern of press‐bashing This isn’t Trump’s first jibe at journalists. In April, he barred the Associated Press from Air Force One after it refused to rename the Gulf of Mexico. The White House also tightened control over which news outlets access the president.
