President Donald Trump became the focus of another breaking news alert on Fox News, as he addressed a new health concern while on air.
Trump was stationed in the Oval Office, taking questions from reporters, when he was asked about why his voice appeared “hoarse,” prompting worry from one journalist.
“The health of the president is always news – your voice sounds a little rough, are you feeling all right?” the reporter queried, with the 79-year-old responding, “I feel great. I was shouting at people because they were stupid about something having to do with trade and a country, and I straightened it out. But I blew my stack at these people.”

The reporter joked, “Well, it sounds like there’s a follow-up there,” before continuing, “But can I ask you about Venezuela?” However, Trump apparently misunderstood him as he asked, “It sounds like there’s a what?” prompting the reporter to repeat the comment.
Laughing, the president made another crack about his own health, joking, “I thought you said there was a polyp! I don’t want to hear that!” reports the Express.

This follows Trump revealing he had “no idea” why he underwent an MRI scan earlier this year. He informed journalists during a press conference on Air Force One, “It was part of my physical. Getting an MRI is very standard. What, you think I shouldn’t have it? I had an MRI.
“The doctor said it was the best result he has ever seen as a doctor. That’s it. But I had an MRI as part of my standard yearly, or I think they do it every two years, but I have the physical every year. And the result was outstanding.
“I have no idea what they analyzed. But whatever they analyzed, they analyzed it well and they said that I had as good a result as they’d ever seen.”

Trump has also been in the press lately after he was recorded telling a female reporter, “Quiet, quiet, piggy,” last week. During a press conference on Air Force One, the president insulted the unnamed female journalist after she asked him about the Jeffrey Epstein files.
In a video released by the White House, which was taken on November 14, the 79-year-old appeared to step towards the off-camera Bloomberg reporter before waving his finger at her. She had just started to say, “Sir, sir, if there is nothing incriminating in the files…” before President Trump cut her off sternly, insulting her in front of numerous other journalists.
Social media users reacted to the moment, with one writing, “Trump is the epitome of a misogynist. No context can justify this,” and a second person adding, “To a woman reporter, of course. Can you imagine any previous president talking like that?”
