"When it comes to the public utterances of Donald Trump, the outrageous, barely believable moments come thick and fast."
"And just when you think the US President can scrape no lower, he manages to do just that."
"In a breath-taking moment, Trump wagged a finger in a female journalist's face as she attempted to ask him about the release of the Jeffrey Epstein files and said: "Quiet, piggy.""
President Donald Trump publicly insulted a female journalist by wagging a finger in her face and saying "Quiet, piggy" while she tried to ask about the release of Jeffrey Epstein files. The remark mirrored previous instances of comparing women to swine, reinforcing a pattern of demeaning gendered language. The incident raises concerns about normalization of verbal attacks against female reporters and the erosion of respectful political discourse. The exchange highlights tensions around accountability for powerful figures and the chilling effect such conduct can have on journalists seeking information about high-profile investigations.
