Grumpy Grandpa Trump called a female journalist ‘quite piggy’ because age hasn’t brought him wisdom

Donald Trump is not particularly recognised for his respect towards women. Throughout his second term as President of the United States and before that, he has made a series of derogatory, offensive, and concerning remarks about women.

Recently, Trump made it clear on two occasions how he perceives women: as individuals who are beneath him and whom he can always insult. A resurfaced video showing Trump expressing frustration over a question from a female journalist while aboard Air Force One is gaining considerable attention on social media. In the footage, after Bloomberg’s Catherine Lucey inquires about his reluctance to release the controversial Epstein Files and asks if there is “nothing incriminating in the files,” Trump points at her in an aggressive manner and says: “Quiet. Quiet, piggy.” His remarks towards Lucey have received widespread backlash, with many pointing out a recurring pattern in his treatment of women.
