'You're really obnoxious': Trump waves away Black reporter asking about Memphis takeover

A reporter in the White House press pool tried to ask President Donald Trump in the Oval Office on Friday about his plans to send a military force to keep order in Memphis, Tennessee — and Trump waved her off, calling her "obnoxious" and refusing to answer any of her questions.

"Mr. President, what are your plans for—" the reporter began. Her name wasn't immediately known.

"Quiet. You're really obnoxious," said Trump.

"I’m not obnoxious, but I’m trying to ask you what about your plans for Memphis," said the reporter, as Trump continued to talk over her. "Many people want to know what the numbers are going to be like. What are your plans for Memphis, Mr. President?"

"You are really obnoxious," said Trump. "I'm not going to talk to you until I call on you." He then proceeded to direct his attention to other reporters.

Trump announced his plans to deploy the National Guard to Memphis on Monday, in an event with Republican Gov. Bill Lee. He has already made a similar deployment of troops to Los Angeles following protests against his immigration raids, and completely federalized law enforcement in Washington, D.C., with another contingent of guardsmen.

It's the latest salvo in Trump's apparent attempts to legitimize the use of the military to execute his domestic agenda. He has made numerous threats to send soldiers into Chicago, which Illinois state and local officials have stood firm against.
