White House Edits Trump Insult to Reporter Out of Official Transcript

After President Trump was caught on-camera telling a reporter she “never” thinks during a Monday afternoon press conference, the White House moved to retroactively fix the president’s blunder by changing a word in the official transcript. While the president told ABC News reporter Cecilia Vega, “I know you’re not thinking. You never do,” the White House transcript reads, “I know you’re not thanking. You never do.” While Vega did thank the president for calling on her to ask a question before Trump made the remark, his comment prompted her to ask “I’m sorry?” before the president dismissed her. “No, go ahead. Go ahead,” the president said in response, urging her to move on and ask her question.
