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 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.
