Trump in Hot Water: Abby Phillip's Snappy Crack to His ‘3rd Rate’ Insult

President Donald Trump criticized CNN anchor Abby Phillip for her remarks on the stock market during a recent episode of “NewsNight with Abby Phillip,” while simultaneously asserting that few viewers still watch the network. On June 27, Phillip referenced an economist's view on the stock market's recent highs, suggesting the upswing was partly due to Trump’s potential delay of tariff increases. Earlier this year, the White House indicated that new tariffs would take effect on July 9, allowing for ongoing trade negotiations.In a roundtable discussion, Phillip cited a Wall Street Journal piece, noting differing perspectives on the stock market's performance. She underscored that while some interpret Trump's actions as mere negotiating strategies, the evidence suggests he is indeed easing pressure, resulting in market stability.Trump reacted to her analysis with a disparaging post on TruthSocial, calling her “3rd rate.” Phillip gracefully responded, “Thank you for watching, Mr. President,” drawing significant engagement on social media and sparking mixed reactions from supporters of both figures.
