President Donald Trump on Sunday insulted a female reporter aboard Air Force One who questioned him about releasing the results of a recent MRI.

When asked by a reporter what part of his body the MRI had been looking at, Trump said, “I have no idea. It was just an MRI.”

“It wasn’t the brain because I took a cognitive test and I aced it. I got a perfect mark, which you would be incapable of doing,” Trump told the female reporter.

Directly before this exchange, he clashed with another female reporter from NewsNation after she asked a question about the MRI.

“Do you want to have it released, NewsNation? Failing, failing NewsNation. NewsNation is doing lousy by the way,” he told the reporter.

In recent weeks, the president has drawn attention after slinging insults at several female journalists, telling one “quiet, piggy" and asking another "are you a stupid person?"

This is a developing story and will be updated.
