"Obviously, this is far from the first time Trump's been called out for calling women swine. In 1996, during his creepy tenure as owner of the Miss Universe Organization, he reportedly called Alicia Machado (the literal winner of Miss Universe) "Miss Piggy." Around that time, he also sent Gail Collins, a New York Times journalist, a copy of her reporting and wrote in the margins that she had the "face of a pig.""
"And during a dial-in on Good Morning LA in 2006, he called Rosie O'Donnell a "fat pig," which he then defended while speaking to Megyn Kelly in 2016. (In the meanest possible way... has he checked the mirror lately?!) During the presidential campaign in 2016, Hillary Clinton said of him, "This is a man who has called women pigs, slobs, and dogs." If only we knew! (And of course, it's nothing to do with pigs, but that whole "grab em by the pussy" bit wasn't great either.)"
President Trump responded "Quiet. Quiet, Piggy." after a Bloomberg reporter asked about Epstein files, prompting social media reactions and criticism. Multiple historical examples illustrate a pattern of demeaning language toward women, including calling Alicia Machado "Miss Piggy," writing that Gail Collins had the "face of a pig," and calling Rosie O'Donnell a "fat pig." Hillary Clinton noted that he has called women "pigs, slobs, and dogs." The exchange emerged amid renewed scrutiny of Epstein-related records and House Oversight Committee disclosures urging the Justice Department to release related files.
