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.
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.
Also calling someone a pig is a pretty strong insult in many circumstances. Calling a girl or woman piggy is another level of both insulting and heavily condescending.
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
It’s just his fat little goblin 3rd grader mentality bubbling to the surface.
Bold move when 3/4 of your base is overweight.
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.

Don’t flick the blade

About sums it up. Thank you for reading our minds.
“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.
The irony of a fat piece of shit who pisses himself calling someone else “piggy”
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.
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.
This camel has an adamantium spine.
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.

Most people haven’t been kidnapped and kept in a cage. Everyone remembers how a personal insult has made them feel, or the shame of standing by and doing nothing when someone else was bullied near them.
He bragged about “grabbing them by the pussy” and got elected. This scandal isn’t even going to move the needle.
“Quiet piggy! Now leave me alone while I eat my filet o’ fish, quarter pounder, Big Mac and fries.”
Mmm, that reminds me, I haven’t had lunch yet oink oink
A fine example of abuse of power. I would expect the woman to slap him, but she can’t because of POTUS security.
I’d settle for a shouted, terse “Fuck you!”
If I met Trump, I’d tell him to go to jail
Unforgivable
I’ve been there for a long, long time.
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.
You know someone called him that like 5 hours before he used it.
My guess is he was talking to bubba and spoke out of turn.
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.
