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.
It always surprises me what people think is the final straw. He’s making his own personal army, kidnapping people off the streets, he’s taxing everyone, he’s taking bribes like it’s hamberders, he’s lying about absolutely everything, he’s demolishing the American government, he’s raping people, always revolving around whether this involves children, which seems more and more likely… But him calling a reporter a bad name is surely what’s going to fell him.
A couple of weeks ago, they were replying “your mom did” when reporters asked who had suggested Budapest as a good city to meet Putin. They’re morons, and this is just going to be another moronic thing they did that no one remembers in a week. Absolutely nothing they say will ever be enough to fell them.
I always thought that Americans would react when their government would start to turn all of the tools and tactics they developed torturing brown people inwards towards the US population. However, I had not accounted for white America only considering white Americans to be real Americans. So as long as the ones suffering are non white Americans, it seems to be fine. Let’s see if that changes once the tactics start targeting white people as they inevitably will.
There’s also the estimated 600,000 people killed by his withdrawal of aid so far, which is projected to rise to 22 million dead. He has killed more people than Idi Amin and is on his way to matching the most deadly dictators in history, killing almost as many as a world war. Add in the dead from his COVID policies in his first term and immigration policies in the second term and he’s one of the deadliest leaders ever.

This camel has an adamantium spine.
Most people haven’t been kidnapped and kept in a cage. Everyone remembers how a personal insult has made them feel, or the shame of standing by and doing nothing when someone else was bullied near them.
