@grrlscientist This meme has been going around for some months now, but apparently the interaction never happened (sadly)...
Who is Megan Cassella, the reporter who infuriated Donald Trump with 'Taco' trade jibe?

A White House press briefing witnessed a tense exchange when CNBC's Megan Cassella questioned President Trump about the 'Taco trade,' a Wall Street term suggesting he often retreats from tariff threats. Trump, visibly annoyed, denied the claim, referencing reduced tariffs on Chinese goods. The 'Taco trade' describes Trump's pattern of tariff threats followed by policy reversals, impacting market rallies.

@paulmelis @grrlscientist I was wondering. Thanks for saying something.

@grrlscientist https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/reporter-trump-questions-permission/

That conversation never happened. We shouldnt go on that level and spread fake news ourselves.

Reporter told Trump 'I ask questions, not permission'?

Widely shared posts claimed a CNBC reporter snapped back at Trump, saying, "Sir, you are the president, not God."

@Turr1caN @grrlscientist True! I wish someone would simply use these words in real life.
@Turr1caN @grrlscientist Yarp, good catch. The account that posted the meme (GrrlScientist) seems to be a spam account, so that's an easy block for me.

The guy himself is a fake! And so fakes about him contain a deeper truth!

@bernardgollas @grrlscientist

I prefer "conman", but yeah

@TCatInReality @grrlscientist

... And so fakes about him contain a deeper truth!

@TCatInReality @grrlscientist

Yes, he was raised to cheat from a young age. He knows nothing else.

@bernardgollas @grrlscientist

Yes

And raised in the bizarre "power of positive thinking" which encourages living in a fantasy world

(Which works great if you're rich, or beautiful, and people are trying to get on your good side bc they want something from you)

@grrlscientist - I am proud to say that Megan Cassella - CNBC Correspondent is a Rock Star for standing up to trump. 👍

@grrlscientist

Wasn't she the one #Trump criticized for "not smiling" enough?

Bet she's smiling now!

@grrlscientist "Hat CNBC-Korrespondentin Megan Cassella Präsident Trump während einer Pressekonferenz gesagt: "Sir, Sie sind der Präsident, nicht Gott? Dafür gibt es keine Beweise: Keine Nachrichtenartikel erwähnen das Zitat und auch die eigene Website von CNBC nicht. Laut einem Posten von Cassella auf X befindet sie sich seit dem 19. September 2025 im Mutterschaftsurlaub."

Fact Check: NO Evidence CNBC's Megan Cassella Told President Trump He Is 'Not God' During Press Briefing -- She Is On Maternity Leave

Did CNBC correspondent Megan Cassella tell President Trump "Sir, you are the president, not God" during a press briefing? There is no evidence for that: No news articles make any mention of the quote and neither does CNBC's own website....

@grrlscientist

I love her already.
Just what the moment requires.

The girlier the better.

@grrlscientist

What? Is this a fake?

You made me smile and then broke my heart without buying me a drink or anything in between.

@grrlscientist Megan Cassello is a freaking boss.

@grrlscientist What they should all say.
@grrlscientist Fact checks say this never happened and I can’t find any article saying she did. Something like this would’ve been widely covered.
@grrlscientist if their side says reality is fake news and they also say this quote is fake news then either reality is this quote, or nothing is ever real. either way I fucking love this and I want it to be real. so now it is. it’s simple logic.
