Catherine Lucey insult doesn't make sense

Trump called Bloomberg Reporter Catherine Lucey "piggy".

According to Wikipedia, Ms. Lucey in 5' 8" tall and 115 pounds.

WTF. what kinda insult is that? It just doesn't make any sense to me.

I was unfamiliar with Ms. Lucey, so I was expecting to see a picture or description of an overweight woman. Finding out that she is tall and thin and he is a fat fucking piece of shit makes the insult even more. ludicrous

But if you picture him as a 5-year-old trying to express his anger that someone has dared to tell him something he doesn't like or ask him something he doesn't want to answer, it clicks into place.

He couldn't come up with one of his usual insults quickly, and his addled brain still knew he couldn't get away with calling her a bitch, so he reached for any childishly cruel word that popped up.

It would not be warranted. However, it would make sense. It's like calling a white man the N--word. It's not only unwarranted, but it makes no sense.
