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.
I really wish the reporter had the balls to either tell him to go fuck himself, or retorted “I know you are but what am I?” Just like children do, because that’s what Trump is. An 80 year old child with a fragile, projecting ego
Same. No way I could let that slide. I’m almost more upset that no one else in that room had the dignity to stand up on her behalf. At a certain point, the job can get fucked in favor of principals. There’s some things you don’t compromise on or justify your way out of.
I agree but I also don’t think people with principals they stand up for are allowed to rise to this level of success (if white house oress corps can still be called that).
