Trump Continues to Insult Reuters Reporter Over His Weight: ‘One of the Worst’

President Donald Trump continued to disparage Reuters White House correspondent Jacob Bogage for his weight on Saturday, two days after initially insulting the journalist in front of his fellow journalists. Trump tweeted on Truth Social, alongside an image of Bogage, "Reuters (One of the Worst!) Reporter" and the caption, "Put yourself in shape, you look like hell."

This statement is precisely what Trump said during their encounter in front of Air Force One on Thursday. Initially, Bogage questioned whether Trump was canceling a Kansas campaign stop due to feeling "sick of traveling" ahead of the midterm elections. The president labeled the outlet "terrible" and described Bogage as "a sick guy."

In response, Trump remarked, "Can you imagine — look at this dope, look at this guy, he's way out of shape. Look at how badly... He comes to me, 'Sir, you're not going to go to Kansas.' I'm not going to go to Kansas because he's doing very well." He continued, "Tomorrow, I'm doing Florida... He says, 'What's the reason for this, sir?

That you're not going to Kansas?' You know what the reason is? I don't feel I have to go to Kansas. I'm going to Florida tomorrow, and I'll do — if something else comes up — but he said, 'You're not going to Kansas, sir, are you feeling well?' You've been following me for two weeks. I feel perfect. You are disgusting. Put yourself in shape, you look like hell."

Trump's team on X then celebrated their verbal assault on Bogage, asserting that the president "absolutely destroyed" the "FAKE NEWS" journalist. Despite his hectic schedule, Trump finds the time to consistently ridicule journalists for their physical appearance.
