Democrats are furious (when are they not?) because President Donald Trump is rightfully calling both ‘journalists’ and their questions ‘dumb.’ We’ve discussed before how Democrats have nothing on Trump, so they are recycling all their old attacks. Apparently, this week is ‘being mean to the free press.’
Trump is right to call out 'journalists' who ask stupid questions. (WATCH)
TRUMP: We have a ballroom that's under budget. It's going up right here. I've doubled the size of it because we obviously need that.

REPORTER: The price doubled
TRUMP: I doubled the size of it, you dumb person. You are not a smart person. pic.twitter.com/6f4acQshov
When did we normalize this? When did it become okay for a president to tell a female reporter she’s a ‘dumb person’ for asking a totally legitimate question about his contradictory answers? Was there a specific date and time it become okay? Normal? Normalized? https://t.co/iv1ydBN1tR

You have to love how Democrats keep pretending history started with Trump and how they always conveniently forget what members of their team have done.
A good example of this selective amnesia is President Joe Biden. (WATCH - LANGUAGE WARNING)
Here's Joe Biden calling a reporter he didn’t like “a stupid son of a bitch."

Normalized like that? https://t.co/dJK68wFNUP pic.twitter.com/pMSgGjr3Vm
Always so respectful of the press.

With few exceptions, Biden and 'journalists' (aka fellow Democrats) were on the same side.
Here's another instance of Biden cussing at 'journalists'. (WATCH - LANGUAGE WARNING)

He seems to only be angry at Fox News

Hmm, I wonder why?
Posters say the usual suspects didn’t lose their minds when Biden had choice words for non-cooperative members of the legacy media.
Wait. So @TheView , did the banshees completely lose it too when Biden called a reporter names? 🤔🤨🙄

They didn’t care when Biden insulted reporters.
— Matthew Newgarden (@a_newgarden) May 13, 2026
They care now because it’s politically useful.
That’s the difference between standards and narratives.
Well, it was (D)ifferent when Biden did it. Biden probably would have had more blowups (not an adult diaper reference) if he spoke to press members as much as Trump does. You'll recall that nap time took precedence.
