“You’re Sick to Ask That Question!” President Trump Slams Reuters Reporter - 10/29/26

Asked whether skipping Kansas was related to being sick of traveling, Donald Trump responded by criticizing the reporter rather than immediately explaining his itinerary.

"Oh, you're sick to ask that question," Trump said. After asking which outlet the journalist represented and hearing Reuters, he attacked the news agency and made personal remarks about the reporter's appearance.

The president then offered his reason for leaving Kansas off his schedule: "You know the reason is? I don't feel I have to go to Kansas." He also discussed campaign travel plans for Florida. Earlier in the exchange, he had predicted a strong election night.

Right Side Broadcasting Network's excerpt reached roughly 66,000 views in seven hours, already well beyond its usual full-day audience for a Short. The channel posts clips alongside its extended coverage of Trump's appearances; this upload concentrates the confrontation into a brief tarmac exchange.

A separate RSBN video featuring the Marine Band playing spooky music while Trump and the first lady handed out Halloween candy also drew an unusually fast start. The channel posted both full-event coverage and a replay of the White House celebration, alongside the shorter musical excerpt.
