Andrew Feinberg, a reporter for The Independent, asks Trump about his golf business. Trump cuts him off: "I don't know who the hell you are, but you better be careful... Are you a sick person?" Feinberg says he was then pulled from the traveling press pool for a Sioux City, Iowa rally for Republican Senate candidate Ashley Hinson, by an unsigned White House press office email that gave no reason.

Can you use the telephone? Listen to you. Hey. I'm not putting you better. You better. I don't know who the hell you are, but you better be careful. You own a lot of golf. Wait, wait, wait. Quiet. Quiet. What's wrong with you? Are you a sick person? I know. Mr. President, on the business... I actually think there's something wrong with you. Go ahead. I thought that was the end of that, but apparently it wasn't. Today, I was supposed to be traveling with the president to Sioux City, Iowa, where he's having a rally in support of Republican Senate candidate Ashley Hinson. But last night, I got an email from the White House Press office. Wasn't signed by anyone, but it told me that I would not be traveling with the president as part of the traveling press pool. They didn't give a reason, but my guess is there's still sore about what happened the other day. And that's okay.
