This is Jennifer Jacobs, the reporter Trump barked quiet, quiet, piggy at for asking about the Epstein files.
Stop normalizing a president abusing reporters, especially women, because hes terrified of a question.

(8,326 posts)It was Catherine Lucey, a Bloomberg reporter
https://www.telegraph.co.uk/us/news/2025/11/18/trump-female-reporter-piggy-epstein-questions/
The US president was travelling to Mar-a-Lago in Florida on Friday when Catherine Lucey, a Bloomberg reporter, asked why he did not want to release the remaining Epstein files.
Ms Lucey said: If theres nothing incriminating in the files, sir, why not act?
Mr Trump singled her out, pointed in her face and told her: Quiet, quiet piggy.
Jacobs pointed out it was the Bloomberg reporter. It was not her.

She wrote that Trump on Friday told a Bloomberg reporter, Quiet, quiet, piggy after the journalist asked why, if theres nothing incriminating in the files, hes acting like there is, in Jacobs words.
It was a reporter from abc the he called fake news for her question to the Saudi prince today

They keep saying access, access. Well, he NEEDS media just as much. With no coverage of his lies, he will be done.
Personally I would love to see left leaning media to stop airing his crap. MS NOW should have had live fact checking today, or just cut him off.
Who needs ACCESS to him, he plasters his BS everywhere.

Let his press pool be not there.
No point anyway. He doesn't answer questions properly. He abuses reporters who do their jobs. F*ck him.

Call him out .... Mr President, no one is impressed. Grow up.
Or go dramatic ... OMG, that finger smells like a diaper! (and pinch your nose to keep out the stink)
Or just go for the carotid. Look him square in the eye and ask .. "Do you use that finger when you rape little girls?"
I mean yeah, you'll never be allowed near him again, but you won't be in a jail for touching a POTUS. And if you are going to do it, don't grab the finger - Instead say "215 pounds?" and poke the belly like he's the pillsbury dough boy and do the giggle.

(1,190 posts)Would he have called a male reporter "piggy"? Given the history, no as he mostly refers to women by appearance. But some other name? Absolutely.
ShazzieB
(22,001 posts)He'll insult anybody, but he goes after women for their appearance more than anything else, especially those who don't meet his personal standards for female attractiveness. I think it says a lot about how he sees women. To him, women exist to be decorative and to cater to the needs and desires of men, period. Any woman who asks him a question he doesn't like is falling down on the catering to his needs part, and very few women who haven't had a ton of plastic surgery are able to measure up in the personal attractiveness area. A woman who asks him a question he doesn't like or challenges him in any way AND doesn't look the way he thinks women should look will quickly find herself in the doghouse with him (pun intended). I suspect projection plays a major role as well. Underneath all the bluster, he is extremely insecure, and a fat man calling a woman "piggy" screams insecurity to me.
The only physical trait I can recall him mocking non-disabled men for is being short (as he defines that). Michael Wolff has said that he has a thing about being the tallest guy in the room and that one of the things he hates about Comey is his towering 6'8' height. Trump likes to use his size to intimidate people, and he can't do that with a man who towers over him, lol. With men who are shorter than him, he can lord it over them and call them names like "Little Marco."
The closest thing I can recall to him insulting a man for his weight is saying JB Pritzker needed to "hit the gym" (more obvious projection and hilarious coming from a guy who probably hasn't set foot in a gym since his high school p.e. classes).
If he has ever mocked any aspect of a man's appearance other than height or weight, I must have missed it and would like to be filled in!

(6,451 posts)And there wasn't any member of the media who had the guts to say anything on her behalf? Damn it, they are her colleagues! And by the way, showing a photo of the reporter as if to say "she's not fat, why did he say that?" implies that it would have been okay had she been overweight.
Thank you for pointing that out. Weight is the last bastion of "acceptable" discrimination in this country. Those of us who have struggled know that first hand.
I was once denied a promotion in favor of two men who had no work experience AT ALL, just a BA in a totally unrelated field, and D- reviews in the three months and six months, respectively, they each had in the (very low-level) position we shared. This was despite my having two years in the current role with A++ reviews, 15 years of work experience prior to that job, and a degree with a 4.0 GPA in the exact field for which the spot was open.
My boss was livid and demanded answers from the higher-ups. In response, one of those managers sent her a newspaper article about why fat people don't get promoted and suggested she share it with me "because it might help her."
(Living well is the best revenge though - both dudes flunked out of the spot almost immediately, I ended up getting the promotion after a partner intervened, and have now been doing this work for nearly 30 years...the manager had to resign from her last firm amid a cloud of scandal. Karma is my kink!)

(138 posts)My current firm is really enlightened and when I tell this story to the baby attorneys I'm training (especially when we have office roundtables about things like unconscious bias), they literally can't even believe it happened to me. All they've ever known me as is their knowledgeable, experienced mentor - that they would never have had if this awful manager had gotten her way back in the late 90s. Millennials and Gen Z just seem to take it for granted that women and POC and LGBTQ+ will be treated with respect in the workplace and it's one of the things I love about their generations.
Hear ya on the struggle. It's something that, if it gets talked about at all in public discourse, often gets mocked or dismissed as if it's a choice ("Just do some pushups and eat less" they crow). As if we haven't tried everything (though I refuse to do the GLP-1s - no thanks to going blind or never enjoying food again). Sending you hugs in solidarity!

What a broken, horrible, miserable excuse for a man that lump of nothing is. His parents really damaged him beyond repair. It's too bad they never had to atone for it.

White House Tries to Defend Trumpâs âPiggyâ Insult

Trump, 79, drew outrage when he snapped at Bloomberg White House correspondent Catherine Lucey for asking him a question about the notorious Jeffrey Epstein files on Friday.
If theres nothing incriminating in the files, sir, why not Lucey began to say as the president took questions aboard Air Force One.
Before she could finish, however, Trump pointed his finger at her and barked, Quiet! Quiet, piggy.
The remark was roundly blasted as disgusting in a torrent of criticism, including from CNN anchor Jake Tapper and former Fox News host Gretchen Carlson, but the White House seems unfazed.
This reporter behaved in an inappropriate and unprofessional way toward her colleagues on the plane. If youre going to give it, you have to be able to take, a White House official told the Daily Beast.......
The testy exchanges are par for the course for Trump, who has a long history of hurling demeaning insults at women.
In 2017, The New York Times columnist Gail Collins recalled that Trump had sent her copies of her columns that he disliked, calling her a dog and a liar with the face of a pig.
In 2016, Latina beauty queen Alicia Machado, who won the Miss Universe title at age 19 when Trump co-owned the organization, recounted how he would call her Miss Piggy and Miss Housekeeping.
