"Donald Trump recently pointed at Bloomberg reporter Catherine Lucey during a press gaggle aboard Air Force One and snarled, "Quiet. Quiet, piggy." The insult came after she asked a follow-up question about Jeffrey Epstein's files, a chillingly symbolic moment, but... not exactly shocking coming from a man who's repeatedly demeaned women in public. When Lucey asked why Trump wouldn't release Epstein's files if there was nothing incriminating in them, he cut in like a bratty child and dropped that "insult.""
"Portland has reclaimed the frog as a symbol of its resistance to Trump's efforts to militarize the city. Perhaps women should claim the glamorous, sassy Muppet Miss Piggy, a known diva with a fierce karate chop, as their own symbol. Call a woman a piggy, and see how that goes for you, Mr. President. Enough demeaning of women. Signing the Epstein Files bill when it hits his desk, which Trump has promised to do, won't be"
Donald Trump interrupted a follow-up question about Jeffrey Epstein's files aboard Air Force One and snarled "Quiet. Quiet, piggy" at Bloomberg reporter Catherine Lucey. The remark aligns with a documented pattern of public gendered insults and was framed as either a lapse of decorum or a deliberate distraction. The exchange inspired a proposal that women reclaim Miss Piggy as a symbol of resistance because she represents glamour, confidence, and a combative spirit rather than meekness. Reappropriating the insult is presented as a way to push back against demeaning rhetoric and to demand accountability, including release of files.
