Why did it take several days for Trump’s “Quiet, Piggy” insult of a female reporter to gain traction in news coverage? Because it happened on a Friday night, when many journalists had started their weekend. And because, sadly, he's trained the media to think accepting his insults is part of the job.

  2. Sexism and they surround Trump with stolen golden training wheels.

    Trump is also the most jaundice looking, out of shape person in America. He called her a piggy with his coat filled with crushed sudafed and Big Macs

  3. I grew up in an abusive household. Abusers train you to think it is your fault so you can't hold them accountable.

    This is nothing great. AAMOF, abusers are weak, uninteresting, and imbecilic. This would be Trump if not for The Apprentice bs and poorly educated Americans.

  4. The Nuzzi thing has the journalism industry fixated with fascination and embarrassment.

    But seriously - this "Piggy" utterance is of a very different tone and character. I think it's a clear sign that he's losing it.

  5. Pathetic there is no solidarity amongst her journalistic colleagues to ask the same question over and over until finally answered.

  6. Work hard to finally be amongst the elite reporters asking the President of US questions.....only to be treated this way. Thinking...there has to be another reporters job out there that is more rewarding or maybe call the President out for being an asshole.

  7. He trained the media? Well sort of but I see a far more nefarious vein in all of this. Has any of these journalists backed him in corner and took him to the mat? Those that still have a spine and sharp teeth aren't allowed close to him.

  8. What would have happened if she had replied with, “listen, Piggy….?”

    I realize it would take someone with incredible courage for someone who just snapped .

  9. And People magazine had to be the outlet to break it. And yet it’s still not being covered on any network morning show. The NYT isn’t covering it. It’s beyond sick. The entire press corp let him say that to a female reporter and not one asked him how it’s okay to speak to her like that.

  10. Also, on Friday night all we were talking about was Trump testing his gag reflex with Bill Clinton’s dick.

  11. The damage he has done to our norms and civility and to truth itself cannot be overstated.
