A woman reporter’s nuclear button question totally stumped Trump and he took it just as well as you’d imagine he would
Donald Trump’s war on Iran shows no sign of coming to an end just yet, despite the American president confidently telling anyone who will listen that America has totally, absolutely, 100% destroyed the country’s military capability.
And one person who was listening was this particular reporter who asked him if he would be prepared to use the nuclear option.
Trump appeared to be totally stumped by this and took it just as well as you’d imagine he would.
Trump was just asked whether he would use NUKES on Iran:
“I would never say that but the answer is yes. There is no reason for that. What a stupid question.”
So he literally answered the question he said he would never answer in the same breath. The guy is a complete JOKE! pic.twitter.com/OupkQXHFqM

And these people surely said it best.

Nothing screams ‘stable genius’ quite like screaming insults at a female reporter in the Oval Office because a basic nuclear policy question hurt your brain.

Always a female reporter. And, of course, not a male reporter In site to take up the question. Ball-less punks.

“I would never answer that. The answer is yes. Also that’s a stupid question.”
That’s not strategy. That’s a man arguing with himself in public and losing both sides. If the goal was to sound unpredictable, mission accomplished—nobody can predict which clause he means before the…— Roland (@roland58033) August 31, 2026

Trump gets one question he doesn’t like and immediately turns misogynistic.

Seems like he thinks calling reporters demeaning names must poll well with whatever base he has left. He loves to humiliate people. Can’t wait for the end of this story – he will lose in the end.

When will the reporters stand up for each other???? It is inexcusable that he is allowed to talk that way. Period.

Someone reckoned they spotted this …
Whatever you think about the men standing behind Trump, none of them looked comfortable as he viciously attacked a female reporter for asking a legitimate question about whether he would rule out using nuclear weapons against Iran.
Many of those men have daughters around her… https://t.co/g5SMRrkQDX

Not quite so sure about that.
WTF. A confused Trump wakes up, turns to RFK Jr and asks if he is ok.
TRUMP IS NOT OK. https://t.co/l4sIbJCWzW pic.twitter.com/3XrGRPwDL7
