false — Trust Score 10/100

This content is refuted by 6 sources including AP, CBS News, and MEAWW. While Donald Trump did call reporters 'terrible' during confrontations in November 2025, the claim that a journalist—specifically Catherine Lucey—responded by calling him a 'terrible president' is a fabricated social media myth that originated in May 2026.

Claims analyzed (3)

  1. false: A news reporter responded to Donald Trump's 'You're a terrible reporter' comment by saying 'You're a terrible president'.
    Extensive news coverage and fact-checks from June 2026 confirm that this verbal retort never occurred. The claim is a viral fabrication based on real confrontations in November 2025 where Trump insulted reporters, but they did not respond with this specific phrase.
  2. false: The news outlet Daily Pulse reported on a specific verbal confrontation between a reporter and Donald Trump.
    The 'Daily Pulse' graphic is a fabricated news card. There is no reputable news organization by that name that reported this event as fact; the logo appears on various viral memes and satirical posts.
  3. false: The woman in the photo is the reporter who made the retort.
    The woman in the photo is Catherine Lucey, a White House correspondent for Bloomberg. While she was insulted by Trump in November 2025, Bloomberg confirmed she did not respond during the exchange, and she has never been recorded making the 'terrible president' comment.
