President Donald Trump has hit back at a White House reporter after she asked him what he thought about a Wall Street phrase being used: “Trump Always Chickens Out”.
Megan Casella of CNBC, noted that analysts have used the term and asked: “What’s your response to that?”
Trump asked for clarification on the phrase, and he then said he had “never heard that,” before he told her: “You ask a nasty question like that.”
After several minutes he moved on but not before he looked at her and said: “But don’t ever say what you said. That’s a nasty question.”
It comes amid a tough time for the President who has been criticized for a series of pardons for loyalists and allies failed attempts to freeze billions in fundings to Harvard University,and the ire of Swifites after he took to social media to claim Taylor Swift was “no longer hot”.

Trump has also attempted to revoke the school’s tax-exempt status, and has attempted to deny thousands of international students, including Princess Elisabeth, the heir to the Belgium throne, the ability to study at the Massachusetts college.
