A grumpy President Donald Trump scolded a reporter aboard Air Force One on Tuesday night as he flew to Pennsylvania for his first public rally in months.
The president was headed to Mount Pocono to deliver remarks on the economy. While aboard the flight, he took questions from huddled reporters.
A livestream captured one reporter quizzing Trump, 79, on whether he planned to hold another round of interviews this week for Fed chair.
During the stream, an object repeatedly clangs against Air Force One.
The president said he plans to look at a couple of people for the position, but teased he has a "pretty good idea" of whom he wants.
But the president's focus shifted to the reporter in question, and he pointed a finger.
"Hey, you're going to have to take it easy with that thing," he scolded. "It's a government plane, but I like to take care of it.
Trump has repeatedly clashed with reporters in recent weeks, particularly women journalists. About a month ago, Trump snapped at Bloomberg reporter Catherine Lucey on Air Force One after she asked the president about the Jeffrey Epstein files. He responded by calling her a "piggy."
Just before Thanksgiving, the president also called New York Times reporter Katie Rogers "ugly" in a Truth Social post.
