President Trump in no uncertain terms told a Bloomberg reporter what he thought about her question regarding his tariffs and the stock market.
The reporter asked the president aboard Air Force One on Sunday whether there is “pain in the market at some point you’re unwilling to tolerate?”
“I think your question is so stupid,” he told her. “I don't want anything to go down, but sometimes you have to take medicine to fix something — and we have been treated so badly by other countries because we had stupid leadership that allowed this to happen.”
