White House Spews Sick Slur After Trump Falls Apart in Oval

Andrew Harnik / Getty Images The White House used an anonymous X account to lash out at a reporter who questioned Donald Trump in the Oval Office on Tuesday, calling him a vile slur for people with Down Syndrome.

The insult appeared on the “Rapid Response” account used by multiple White House officials, and came during Down Syndrome Awareness Month, which Trump had previously recognized with a presidential proclamation.

It came a day after Trump used an antisemitic slur at a rally, and as Ohio’s MAGA gubernatorial candidate Vivek Ramaswamy’s use of an ad featuring an accused child rapist’s wife to attack his Democratic opponent was widely condemned.

The insult was deploted after Trump snapped at the Independent’s Andrew Feinberg, who was among a group of reporters in the Oval Office on Tuesday afternoon.

“Wait a minute.

Wait, wait.

Quiet.

Quiet!” the 80-year-old fumed, as Feinberg appeared to be asking about the president’s plans for a golf course at East Potomac Park in Washington.

But Trump had apparently called on someone else.

“What’s wrong with you? Are you a sick person?” Trump asked, prompting Feinberg to reply: “Not that I know of, sir.” Trump shot back: “No, I actually think there’s something wrong with you.” The White House’s rapid response account took it further.

“@POTUS absolutely roasts Mongoloid Moron @AndrewFeinberg for his disgraceful behavior: ‘What’s wrong with you? Are you a sick person? I actually think there’s something wrong with you,’” the account wrote .

The insult against Feinberg used a slur which referred to a discredited Victorian belief that people with Down Syndrome had similarities to East Asian people, who were seen as racially inferior to whites.

The World Health Organization deleted the term in the 1960s, because it was so offensive to all concerned.

But the attack on the reporter was then carried on by the devout Catholic convert Vice President JD Vance, with his official X account piling on.
