When it comes to mistreating women, the president is who he appears to be.

A year later, the carnival continues. My MS NOW colleague Clarissa-Jan Lim reported on what happened when a female reporter pressed the president on his Jeffrey Epstein ties. From the report:
During a press gaggle on Air Force One on Friday, the reporter asked the president about one of the emails Epstein wrote about him that Democrats on the House Oversight Committee released last week. When she tried to follow up with a question about potentially incriminating details in the Epstein files, Trump pointed and said, Quiet. Quiet, Piggy.
The White House made no effort to deny the accuracy of the quote, which was captured on video, telling MS NOW in a statement that the presidents target deserved the rebuke after engaging in inappropriate and unprofessional conduct......
Complicating matters, however, is the familiarity of the circumstances.
Meidas News Ron Filipkowski put together a video montage that highlights examples of Trump insulting, berating, demeaning and attacking female reporters just over the past few months.

There were so many examples that Filipkowski soon after released a sequel.

Trump is, in other words, exactly who he appears to be. Hes the man in the E. Jean Carroll case. Hes the one on the Access Hollywood recording. Hes the Republican who suggested some of the women whove accused him of sexual misconduct werent attractive enough to attack. Hes the politician who vowed to protect women from the White House whether the women like it or not.
Hes also the one who didnt hesitate to shut down a reporter asking a reasonable question by calling her piggy.
