Trump fires latest insult at female reporter as he says he will release MRI results
  • Donald Trump insulted a female reporter on Air Force One after she questioned him about his MRI results on Sunday, claiming she would be “incapable” of acing a cognitive test he had taken.

  • Trump reiterated his claim that he had “aced” a cognitive test and stated his MRI results were “perfect”, despite not knowing what part of his body the scan examined.
