Former President Donald Trump spoke of throwing dirt in journalists’ faces while groundbreaking work on a new golf course at his resort in Aberdeen, Scotland, on Monday.
“And we throw it to the press, right in their face. We’re throwing it right in their faces,” the 2024 GOP presidential candidate said as he held a shovel of dirt in a video shared as an Instagram story by Margo Martinhis deputy director of communications.
The clip was posted to Twitter by the PatriotTakes account.
Laughter erupted at Trump’s comment.
It came during his first trip abroad following his indictment on the Stormy Daniels hush money case and amid his civil trial over allegations that he raped former magazine columnist E. Jean Carroll in a New York department store in 1996.
And it is the latest in a long line of Trump attacks on the press.
Trump has repeatedly labeled journalists and media outlets who write unflattering stories about him as “fake news” And “enemies of the people.”
