It's easy to be numb because it's par for the course nowadays, but repeatedly calling a reporter who asks a reasonable question "stupid" is conduct unbecoming for a small-town mayor, let alone the President of the United States.
The press exists to play a watchdog role, not be a supplicant.

This is exactly the sort of thing that is going to require people to go to jail for a very long time if we are to avoid this ever happening again. We're going to be told we need to move on. We've been told that every time since ~1865. Which is why the crises keep happening.

Nobody, I repeat…nobody should be surprised by this. Steve Witkoff works for Donald Trump. Donald Trump works for Vladimir Putin. So of course Witkoff works for Putin as well. It’s despicable, it’s traitorous, but it sure the hell isn’t surprising.

Witkoff Advised Russia on How to Pitch Ukraine Plan to Trump
US presidential envoy Steve Witkoff, fresh from the triumph of the Gaza peace deal, held a phone call last month with a senior Kremlin official to suggest they work together on a similar plan for Ukraine — and that Vladimir Putin should raise it with Donald Trump.

- Tried to block the release of further evidence he sexually abused children
- Encouraged the execution of Congressional Democrats
