Most people, liberals and conservatives, will stipulate that Donald Trump is a misogynist pig. The sexist sociopath has a sordid history of comparing women to animals, he has called them “fat pigs”, “dogs”, and “disgusting animals.” Famously, he called 1996 Miss Universe winner Alicia Machado of Venezuela “Miss Piggy” when she gained weight after winning the crown.

Which is why, when Trump matter of factually said, “Quiet, piggy” to Bloomberg reporter Catherine Lucey, after she had the temerity to ask him a question about the Epstein files, the reaction from colleagues, pundits, and politicians was subdued. Trump has normalized misogyny, the next time a female reporter asks a tough question, I will not be surprised if he silences her by shouting, “Bitch, please.” And I likewise will not be surprised if he gets away with uttering the sexist expletive without suffering any dire consequences.

The White House correspondents should have demonstrated solidarity with Lucey, by demanding that Trump apologize, or else they would boycott all future press conferences.

Trump is the last person on Earth who should be calling anyone a pig, considering he is as fat as a pig, ugly as a pig, and dirty as a pig.

Whenever Trump’s ugly mug appears on a TV, millions of people shout at the screen: Quiet, piggy. Just STFU!
