The president seems to be getting quite annoyed by all the Epstein questions as he appeared to blast another reporter who asked him about it.
Donald Trump has been on a bit of a roll when it comes to clashing with people, including his own Republican colleagues like Georgia Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene, and reporters on the subject of the Epstein files.
Over the weekend, tensions reached a boiling point for the POTUS, who appeared visibly irritated by the situation with members of the press.
While boarding Air Force One on Friday (November 14) to jet off to his Mar-A-Lago resort in Florida, journalists again brought up the situation amid a continued push from Congress to release the documents related to the late financier and convicted pedophile.

A female Bloomberg reporter then asked the president if there was anything 'incriminating' in the latest release of Epstein emails, to which Trump was clearly agitated by.
Pointing in her face, he said: "Quiet. Quiet, piggy."
His outburst comes as Democrats on the House Oversight Committee released three new pieces of email correspondence from Epstein last week, including one between Epstein and his then girlfriend, Ghislaine Maxwell, who is currently serving 20 years behind bars for her role in trafficking minors.
In the exchange, it is alleged Epstein called Trump 'that dog that hasn't barked'.
"[Redacted victim's name] spent hours at my house with him, he has never once been mentioned," he added.
Maxwell reportedly replied: "I have been thinking about that..."
In another email involving Trump biographer, Michael Wolff, Epstein wrote: "Trump said he asked me to resign, never a member ever."
"Of course, he knew about the girls," he continued, allegedly referring to rumors that Epstein and Maxwell used Mar-a-Lago to recruit their next victims, which Trump has vehemently denied.
Speaking to reporters just days after the batch of emails was released, Trump insisted he knew nothing about what they were talking about.
"I know nothing about that," he said. "They would have announced that a long time ago.
"Jeffrey Epstein and I had a very bad relationship for many years."
As for calling a female reporter 'piggy', Trump shares a long track record of making similar harsh and often sexist comments about women, particularly political rivals or when journalists hold him to account.
He has made vulgar comments about Hillary Clinton, Kamala Harris, female House reps, including Nancy Pelosi, comedian Rosie O'Donnell, contestants on The Apprentice, and even his own daughter, to name just a few.
Trump even called former Miss Universe Alicia Machado, who won the title when she was 19 while Trump co-owned the organization, 'Miss Piggy', while threatening to strip her of the crown after she gained weight.
Just last month, he called a reporter 'darling' after ignoring her question and added to Vice President JD Vance: "I just like to watch her talk."
