We're used to Donald Trump flipping out on reporters in the White House, but he got particularly nasty with one journalist on Tuesday.

Sooo, Trump was holding one of his usual Dr. Evil-esque press conferences when a reporter asked him a question he really didn't like!

Here's the clip:

Trump: Quiet! Quiet! What's wrong with you? Are you a sick person?

Reporter: Not that I know of

One funny part, if you didn't catch it, was when the journalist responded, "Not that I know of," after Trump asked if he was sick (lol).

So then JD Vance decided to post the clip himself, calling the journalist an "imbecile."

But the "sick" journalist, Andrew Feinberg of The Independent, had the best response:

And then he took it one step further and added "sick person" to his X bio.

Oh, and "imbecile," too.
