WATCH: 'Are you a sick person?' Trump snaps at reporter in the Oval Office

A reporter starts asking about owning golf courses, but Donald Trump interrupts before the question is finished. Seated behind the Resolute Desk, he shushes the journalist: "Quiet. Be quiet."

The PBS NewsHour clip then captures a personal rebuke. "What's wrong with you? Are you a sick person?" Trump asks. The off-camera reporter answers, "Not that I know of, sir."

Other journalists call out to the president. Trump adds, "I actually think there's something wrong with you. Go ahead," pointing to someone else to speak. The golf-course question goes unanswered in the excerpt.

That short exchange drew roughly 56,000 views in eight hours, a much faster start than PBS NewsHour's usual Shorts. The upload keeps its focus on the interruption and response, rather than a policy announcement or the fuller event.
