The exchange drew hundreds of thousands of views and renewed criticism of Trump’s clashes with female reporters.
- On Thursday, President Donald Trump aggressively dismissed ABC News senior political correspondent Rachel Scott at a Dallas airport tarmac after she questioned his proposed $5,000 "Trump dividend" for voters.

- When Scott attempted to ask about unfulfilled tariff rebate promises, Trump interrupted her, telling her "Not you" and repeatedly calling her and her network "the worst."
- Thursday's confrontation follows a pattern of clashes with at least 10 female journalists during his second term, with Trump often mocking their intelligence or demeanor.
- Critics including independent journalist Aaron Rupar condemned the behavior, while others praised Scott's persistence, demonstrating ongoing tension between the administration and the press corps.
