"The first incident happened on November 14, when Trump was taking questions from reporters on Air Force One. Bloomberg correspondent Catherine Lucey asked what Epstein meant when he wrote that Trump "knew about the girls." Trump dodged by raising questions about Bill Clinton's relationship with the late sex offender (interesting strategy) and dismissing the contents of the newly released Epstein files. When Lucey tried to ask a follow-up question, Trump snapped, "Quiet. Quiet, Piggy," while waving a finger at her."
"referring to Megyn Kelly having "blood coming out of her wherever," etc.) was a major theme of the 2016 election. He toned down the nasty remarks about women while in office but never fully stopped (see: much of his case against Kamala Harris). And of course, his agenda, aesthetics, and general vibe are all steeped in misogyny. But in recent days, Trump has been displaying his disrespect for women, and female journalists in particular, more openly than usual."
Between major Republican election losses and renewed attention to the Jeffrey Epstein files, Donald Trump has returned to publicly attacking women who question him. He previously made derogatory comments about female critics during the 2016 campaign and softened those remarks while in office but continued to target women. Trump recently insulted Bloomberg reporter Catherine Lucey on Air Force One after she asked about Epstein, and told her "Quiet. Quiet, Piggy." He later berated ABC reporter Mary Bruce for asking about hosting Saudi crown prince Mohammed bin Salman despite U.S. intelligence linking the prince to Jamal Khashoggi's murder. Trump defended the crown prince and dismissed criticism as "fake news."
