It’s one outrage in days full of outrageous material.
“Quiet, piggy,” Donald Trump told a female reporter in a press gaggle, pointing his finger at her angrily.
It wasn’t the first time – not even the hundredth time – the US president has attacked the media. And it’s hard for any storyline to break through the administration’s “flood the zone” strategy, much less one like this. Nothing seems to stick. But the “quiet, piggy” clip has taken off, several days after the admonishment occurred on Air Force One last Friday, and without much help from the media itself.

It always surprises me what people think is the final straw. He’s making his own personal army, kidnapping people off the streets, he’s taxing everyone, he’s taking bribes like it’s hamberders, he’s lying about absolutely everything, he’s demolishing the American government, he’s raping people, always revolving around whether this involves children, which seems more and more likely… But him calling a reporter a bad name is surely what’s going to fell him.
There’s also the estimated 600,000 people killed by his withdrawal of aid so far, which is projected to rise to 22 million dead. He has killed more people than Idi Amin and is on his way to matching the most deadly dictators in history, killing almost as many as a world war. Add in the dead from his COVID policies in his first term and immigration policies in the second term and he’s one of the deadliest leaders ever.

“quiet piggy” is unacceptable, but the country was totally chill with “grab her by the pussy,” or mocking a disabled reporter.
Don’t get me wrong, I’m glad America seems to be waking up, but c’mon. If this bothers you, but the previous incidents didn’t, maybe you should be re-evaluating your opinions.
The difference is all the MAGAts are starting to be inconvenienced by Trumps America. They have no problem violently deporting people, but god forbid something relatively minor by comparison affects their life.
That’s true, but I also think there is a stark difference between a low quality ‘off the record’ recording and standing at the official podium taking questions from vetted journalists to a live feed on every news network.
Anyone paying the slightest bit of attention has known he is, at best, an odious man-child for years. But a lot of people actively try to avoid paying attention because they’ve been trained that it’s “just politics” instead of the infrastructure that impacts every aspect of their lives.
trump said “Quiet, piggy” and angrily poked his tiny rapist finger at her. And that’s when she flicked out the blade hidden in her pen and stabbed him in the fucking face.
She went on to be a two-and-a-half term president, noted mainly for decimating the oil industry and saving the earth.

About sums it up. Thank you for reading our minds.
I can’t figure out the reason why he chose “piggy” as the insult. The reporter is quite thin, and not loud or obnoxious. Projecting, maybe?
Always projecting
No, I think his mind is perpetually stuck in the late 70’s and 80’s. Right around the time when the Muppet Show was big. So he’s really saying she is annoying like Miss Piggy.
I refuse to believe he ever watched the Muppet Show. It was far too intelligent and cultured to keep his attention.
I grew up in the 70s and 80s when it was acceptable for parents to physically beat their children, and when when I saw this clip of Trump it shocked me because the look on his face, the finger pointing, and the sound of his voice was exactly how my father looked and sounded right before he would take off his belt to beat us with it. I can’t be the only one who has these memories.
Also using the word “piggy” is revealing of how he sees people. Pigs are associated with slaughter and murder in nearly all of our stories. We kill and eat pigs. The upper classes see the rest of us as pigs to harvest and slaughter and consume. In their eyes how dare a lowly pig meant for their dinner plates question them and talk back to them. What Trump did and said revealed all this horror.
I agree. But also piggy usually is “fat, ugly” too when referencing a woman.
Of course you’re right, and I would argue that calling a woman a “fat, ugly pig” stems from the associations I point out.
The pig insult is so common, I think we’re all trying to understand why such a common and known insult would be so much more shocking to us. It isn’t just because it comes from a sitting US president. Trump is known for his viscous insults and we’ve all heard them.
Saying, “quiet, piggy” was a mask slip more revealing than many of us can even consciously comprehend.
Oh definitely. It’s how he considers women. Beneath him.
I can’t be the only one who has these memories.
In my case, Trump and my own father might as well have been clones. My father was even a wealthy narcissistic authoritarian who was obsessed with his hair and image and was incapable of telling the truth. He was surrounded by sycophants and the vilest people imaginable who were tripping over each other to fellate him until he ran of money, and was abruptly abandoned by everyone but his debt collectors.
He died (alone, of alcohol poisoning) right about the same time Trump became president. For me, my brain has been scrambled since 2016, I feel like he went from terrorizing my family to running the country, and on some subconscious level I keep thinking I have to go to the White House or something on the holidays and listen to him make rambling nonsense speeches about himself.
The irony of a fat piece of shit who pisses himself calling someone else “piggy”
I really wish the reporter had the balls to either tell him to go fuck himself, or retorted “I know you are but what am I?” Just like children do, because that’s what Trump is. An 80 year old child with a fragile, projecting ego
Same. No way I could let that slide. I’m almost more upset that no one else in that room had the dignity to stand up on her behalf. At a certain point, the job can get fucked in favor of principals. There’s some things you don’t compromise on or justify your way out of.
I agree but I also don’t think people with principals they stand up for are allowed to rise to this level of success (if white house oress corps can still be called that).
He bragged about “grabbing them by the pussy” and got elected. This scandal isn’t even going to move the needle.
Bold move when 3/4 of your base is overweight.
Not to mention 3/4 of yourself.
Ahh but you see they also revile fat people.
The walls are closing in. This is the beginning of the end. It’s the worst thing he’s ever done… At that exact moment.
I was thinking wild animal that has been cornered and is very scared
well dementia’s a bitch
This is over 9 years ago btw.
Would have been amazing if the reporter had said what we all are thinking. “No, you fucking lardass.”
People should start pushing up their nose when they see fat boy. Maybe making hog noises.
A person with honour and civility would have stood up for her. Everyone is too worried about their job money.
Shit do be like that
They could not only lose their income, but also be sued by someone with deep pockets –the deepest, if Mr Piggy resorted to the DOJ– and become unemployable.
Breaking news: Trump hates women.
Stop with the theatrics and release the files you misogynist fuck face. We know that you don’t care if everybody knows you’re a pig.
You can remind us all what a piece of shit you are after you let everybody see the stuff you don’t want them to think about you.
Rubbish, he loves women…he loves them so much that even if these women don’t want him to touch them he would never listen and would grab and ‘forcefully love’ them anyways.
Oh, and he realllllyyuy loves children. You’d be surprised at what he would do to be able to be near kiddies. Some people are saying that he even used to traffic the little ones to an island just so he could ‘love’ them whenever he wanted to…
For me personally it wasn’t the name calling that irked me. Trump is a crass piece of shit and honestly I expect nothing less from his behavior. What’s really irritating me is him and all the other Maga circus freaks aggressivly pointing their fingers in people’s faces. It’s such a small, “white man” form of micro aggression that aims to make the target feel inferior. And for some fucking reason it works psychologically because whenever I see one of them do it I immediately want to start throwing hands.
I think it’s the principle that he’s a fat, bald, smelly failure slinging lukewarm insults at people better than himself that people are tired of. If someone called him out on camera, even in tepid, plain insults that are objectively provable, he might just expire from the shift in blood pressure.
