General Discussion

Donald Trump was in no mood to hear from another female reporter asking about his administration's failures during an interview with Politico’s Dasha Burns.

Politico posted a 45-minute video Tuesday showing the president sitting down with Burns, in which he gave rambling answers that went far off the topic. But he took real offense when she asked him about the upcoming end of the Affordable Care Act subsidies — and responded with a sneer.

Burns asked, “In the meantime, I mean, two weeks, Mr. President, people will see those premiums go up. So will you tell Congress to extend those Obamacare subsidies while you work out another deal?”

“I don’t know. I’m gonna have to see. I’d like to get better health care. I’d like to have people buy their own health care, get much better health care, and what I want to do, for example, I want to give the money to the people, not to the insurance companies,” he replied, at which point she interjected. “So right now, people are buying their holiday presents. They’re planning for —.”

“Look, don’t be dramatic,” Trump sneered as she protested, “No, no.”

“Don’t be dramatic,” he repeated.
