BREAKING: Trump Rails At Reporter Who Asked About Cancelled Midterm Rally

"Because I think he's doing well. We're going to do a telerally for him instead."

That is Donald Trump's initial explanation for not visiting Kansas, delivered to reporters at Joint Base Andrews on Thursday. Later in the exchange, a Reuters reporter asks whether the decision has anything to do with being "sick of travel." The president responds with personal insults and criticism of the news agency before returning to his campaign schedule.

The sequence matters: Trump had already offered a reason for skipping the visit before the confrontation began. Afterward, he says he does not feel he needs to go to Kansas and points to a planned trip to Florida the following day. The clip provides his explanation, but no further detail about the decision to replace the visit with a telephone rally.

Forbes Breaking News's upload drew roughly 47,000 views in seven hours, an unusually fast start for the channel's Shorts. The exchange ends with Trump walking to an awaiting vehicle while reporters continue calling out questions.
