„Quiet, Piggy!“ Just think about that for a minute, and what it means to live in a time when a President can assault a woman in public like that without any consequences.
It‘s quite a testimony to the age of regression we live in.

“When an off-camera female reporter… began to ask if there was anything ‘incriminating’ in the Epstein emails, Trump pointed a finger in her face. ‘Quiet. Quiet, Piggy,’ he said menacingly.”
Tell me again how it’s women who are ruining the workplace?
@smpl62.bsky.social:
Trump is a vile, disgusting human being. He should look in the mirror before calling anyone “piggy”.
@spacegoatc2c.bsky.social:
Leavitt says the ‘quiet piggy’ comment was Trump being ‘frank & honest’, so here’s me being frank & honest.
Karoline Leavitt is an ignorant, trash-talking pig in lipstick, married to a guy older than her mother, making a living defending a piece of shit child rapist felon.
She’s the pig.
@ronfilipkowski.bsky.social:
An important part of the job for any WH Press Secretary is to clean up remarks made by the president or offer explanation/context or apology when warranted. But Leavitt never does that. She always crafts a response that makes it even worse by adding her own toxic twist.

Karoline Leavitt was asked about Trump calling a female reporter “piggy.” Her response? “Look, the president is very frank and honest.”
These people are lost souls.

Trump’s deployed the word ‘Piggy’ against a woman reporter. Here’s why that shows he’s getting scared

He’s clearly terrified of strong women.
He hates them too
Trump deployed the word ‘Piggy’ against a woman reporter. Here’s why that shows he’s getting scared by Elizabeth Renzetti, Nov 19, 2025, Toronto Star
Elizabeth Renzetti is a journalist and author of “What She Said: Conversations About Equality.”
Imagine if the CEO of your company called you “piggy” during a meeting. He’d be holding a tin cup on the corner the next morning, with HR’s bootprint on his behind. If you’re the president of the United States, however, it’s just another day at the office.
In this case, the office is Air Force Once, and the CEO is Donald Trump. While taking questions from reporters this week, Trump became upset at a question from Bloomberg’s Catherine Lucey. Wagging a stumpy digit in her face, he snapped: “Quiet. Quiet, piggy.”
Like many of you, I immediately had questions. How did a raging misogynist become president, not once but twice?because the misogynistic patriarchy still rules the world, namely the hatefilled raping catholic church, and many humans hate women and girls making pedophile and rapist woman-hating Trump their heroWhy did the other members of the press pool not speak up for their colleague? And can we revive Spy Magazine, which famously nicknamed Trump “the short-fingered vulgarian?”
Trump hates journalists, especially if they’re women. Although I would rather be doing something more pleasant, like having my bunions shaved without anesthetic, let me provide a brief recap of his loathing of female journalists. A decade ago, long before he became president, PBS fact-checked his litany of insults against women, which included telling NYT columnist Gail Collins that she had the “face of a dog.” He called her New York Times colleague Maggie Haberman “Maggot Haberman.”
He has a particular contempt for Black women journalists and their legitimate questions. In 2019, he snapped at CNN’s Abby Phillip about her “stupid” questions. He called the veteran reporter April Ryan “a loser” and “nasty.” Yes, he has the limited vocabulary of a five-year-old on the naughty step — but the five-year-old doesn’t have a nuclear arsenal at his fingertips.
Let’s not forget that Trump was found liable in a civil trial for sexual assault against journalist E. Jean Carroll in the 1990s, and for defaming her afterward.
In his mind, Carroll was a “nut job” and “mentally sick.” He insisted she was “not my type,” which Carroll then used as the title for her recent book.
Trump’s legal team is trying to have the Supreme Court examine the ruling, and you know it’s been eating at him.
He despises — and, I would argue, fears — women who hold him to account. We saw the evidence this week when Trump was meeting in the White House with Mohammed Bin Salman, Saudi Arabia’s crown prince, and ABC’s Mary Bruce asked a question about the Saudis’ involvement in the murder of journalist Jamal Khashoggi. The president exploded, saying the question was “insubordinate” and calling Bruce “a terrible person and a terrible reporter.” He also threatened to pull ABC’s broadcast license.
The other journalists in the room did nothing.most humans are misogynists, and most humans are also cowards No one had Ms. Bruce’s back, as no one defended Ms. Lucey. This was alarming to see, but again not unusual. Many journalists are still stuck in a mindset that says calling out the president would mar their neutrality. A more sinister reading suggests that their bosses, the CEOs of corporate media, have been showing their bellies to this president since the beginning of his second term. They’ve settled bogus lawsuits time after time, and have no appetite for a fight.
The good news is that these outbursts indicate that Trump is finally beginning to understand the pickle he’s in. This is more than just his aides forgetting to put valerian in grandpa’s Ovaltine. The world’s attention continues to be focused on the crimes of his former friend, the sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein. The hounds of justice may be nipping at Trump’s heels (not the hounds of the Justice Department, which are now toothless).
Who’s calling him to account and bringing the heat? It’s reporters, many of them women, doing their jobs even though they know they’ll be publicly insulted and demeaned. They are doing the invaluable work of revealing this man’s character when the mask drops. And, through their calm professionalism, showing the world what a hysteric actually looks like. It’s not a woman with a microphone.
