Trump To Female Reporter: 'You're Not Thinking. You Never Do'

President Trump made a remark to a reporter on Monday that raised some eyebrows.
President Trump on Monday went after ABC News reporter Cecilia Vega during a press conference on the revamped NAFTA deal with Canada and Mexico, notes Bloomberg. Trump called on Vega, who didn't respond immediately.
"She's shocked that I picked her," Trump said. "She's like in a state of shock."
Vega responded: "I'm not, thank you, Mr. President." Trump appears to misunderstand what she said, replying: "That's OK. I know you're not thinking. You never do." Vega went on to ask about the FBI investigation into Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh, which Trump declined to answer, saying he'd prefer to stick to trade-related questions at that time.
However, he did come back to her and answered the question on Kavanaugh after discussing the new deal.
