Big day in news, but which story is the most viral?
A video clip where President Trump reportedly says “Quiet, piggy” to a reporter.
I mean, we really do live in the best timeline, right?
The President of the United States got so fed up with these disgusting fake news journalists that he finally just said, “Shut up, piggy!” This is one of the best things I’ve seen in a long time.
The only thing that could have been better was giving him a big “shhh” like you would give to a baby who keeps crying at you.
I hope it’s real.
I want it to be real…
But is it so?
First let’s watch the clip:
So there you have it, that clip.
Personally I’ve heard her say “Shut up, Peggy”, but I think I’m in the minority on this matter.
Here’s a longer version of the clip shared by the NY Post, captioning the video “Quiet, Piggy”:
During this time, Guardian The report states that the video is real and the quote is accurate and that they believe he was referring to Katherine Lucy (so not “Peggy”):
Donald Trump, who has a history of making extremely personal attacks on female journalists, called a Bloomberg News reporter a “piggy” during a scuffle aboard Air Force One on Friday.
Although the comment initially did not get much attention, it gained some traction on Tuesday and prompted reactions from fellow journalists, including some who had previously been attacked by Trump himself.
Bloomberg’s White House correspondent Katherine Lucy took advantage of a press opportunity with the president — known as the Gaggle — to ask a question about the unfolding of the Jeffrey Epstein scandal and the possibility of a House vote to release all files related to his case, which now appears possible.
As Lucy began to ask “why is Trump behaving this way if there’s nothing incriminating in the files”, Trump pointed at her and said: “Quiet. Quiet, Piggy.”
CBS News reporter Jennifer Jacobs was the first to report that Trump called the Bloomberg News reporter a “piggy,” though she did not specify who it was.
“Disgusting and completely unacceptable,” CNN anchor Jake Tapper wrote on Twitter, sharing a clip of the incident. Former Fox News anchor Gretchen Carlson also called the comments “disgusting and offensive.”
Okay, so we can’t see Katherine Lucy in the video clip, but that leads to the next obvious question: Is she as fat as a pig?
All I could find was, no, he isn’t.
Here he is in a recent video:
If he actually said “Piggy” instead of “Peggy” I think it could be that he was referencing her behavior as piggish.
Pigs are disgusting creatures, they force their way into things. They keep slipping here and there in the mud.
It seems to me that “piggy” in that example would be more about his behavior and perceived lack of decorum rather than his physical appearance.
And I wouldn’t be doing my job if I didn’t end this article with another famous Trump-piggy quote.
One of my all-time favorites, actually a Top 10 Famous Trump Moment:
Many of you remember the infamous debate moderated by Kelly in 2015 and the equally infamous answer given by Trump to Kelly’s question.
remember this?
What an incredible moment.
“Only Rosie O’Donnell”
The moment went viral, but it created a rift between the two, leading to a sour relationship for years.
It seems like they both are ready to move on as they discussed that moment, now 8 years later in 2023.
