From Fox News: President Donald Trump scolded an ABC reporter on Monday, telling her she should be embarrassed for asking about accepting a luxury jet from the nation of Qatar, and that it would be “stupid” to turn it down.
“What do you say to people who view that luxury jet as a personal gift to you?” ABC’s Rachel Scott asked him at the White House, as he signed an executive order urging pharmaceutical companies to reduce prices on key drugs.
“You’re ABC Fake News, right?” Trump asked. “Let me tell you, you should be embarrassed asking that question. They’re giving us a free jet. I could say, ‘No, no, no, don’t give us. I want to pay you a billion, or 400 million, or whatever it is.’ Or I could say thank you very much, you know?”
