Trump told a female reporter this. How come this behaviour is accepted but if it was former president Obama, people would have lost their mind. Obama had to practically be ‘perfect’. When Obama wore a tan suit, it was such a huge deal.

Racism is a sick illness.

He's worried about what will come out.

I think he said McGee

You think you know better than people who were on the plane? Doesn’t make it much better anyway, to be honest.

He's a POS. But that's his schtick: "Hey, I'm a POS, but it's OK to be a POS". Everybody can see that he's an arsehole, including the millions who voted for him.

What is actually worse is that he is defending Prince Mohammed bin Salman in the White House this evening - defending him over the horrific murder of Jamal Khashoggi in 2018.

😮

Blueskystoday · 18/11/2025 21:40

He is utter scum.
His behaviour is consistent with that.
He's worried.

OrangeCrushes · 18/11/2025 21:36

Sadly, I think you're right.

mumofoneAloneandwell · 18/11/2025 21:35

Oh my god when did this happen?!

Agree re Obama though

weegielass · 18/11/2025 21:35

i don't know the full context - was she being greedy with food or wearing a tshirt with a pig on it or anything that could explain it??

it was a superb put-down of lying media by Trump - as effortless as batting away a circling mosquito 🦟 👌😮‍💨

Could you elucidate us as to Catherine Lucey's lies, in this or other instances? Thanks!

It was in response to OP suggesting Obama wouldn't still get support if he'd said it

Not from me he wouldn’t. Don't kid yourself.

@EddyF How come this behaviour is accepted

Who accepted this?

Republicans. All of them as far as I can see

Well people aren’t powerless, they’re just stupid. People stopped Hillary Clinton getting into power when their prejudices took over. People got Trump into power. They’re not educating themselves. We’re not victims. Just uncoordinated.

Do you seriously believe this?
I can’t believe an adult would think like this.

Susiy · 18/11/2025 21:26

Trump has zero respect for women as we already know but it's sexism not racism.
He looks and acts like a cornered rat - his MAGA fans are rebelling against him and he's rattled.

What did Obama do,? I have a list of bad policies, but did he stoop as low as Trump?

Ah, a world where a primary school insult is a masterful put down. What a time to be alive.

Everyone is still talking about Epstein and the Saudi prince, it's not pushed them out of the headlines at all. It is small fry compared to that, but it's just such a clear example of his total contempt for pretty much anyone who isn't exactly like him. So open, so confident that it doesn't matter. Which it clearly doesn't to him given the position of power he is in.

It’s probably tactical. Say something shocking for headlines to distract from the really harmful stuff.

XWKD · 18/11/2025 21:21

It has nothing to do with racism. Trump is such a shitbag that nothing he does surprises anyone, especially obnoxious taunts. It's what he does. His supporters, including women, don't care.

sisagdhihh · 18/11/2025 21:19

Happyjoe · 18/11/2025 21:14

To be honest, it's quite mild compared to other things he is doing, Epstein, corruption, taking away aid, ICE, bombing boats and killing without due process, the list goes on...
Teflon, don't know why, but he seems to be made of Teflon. I long for the days (inc in the UK) where politicians had to have high standards and quit at first whiff of a scandal.

Trump is literally getting billions from a corrupt Saudi prince. Did he call someone piggy in order to take attention from that? Why is no one talking about the Saudi trump tower?? Trump is quite obviously just wanting to make billions from any corrupt shit he can find and he is doing it in plain sight. Maybe just me thinking that then?

Show quote history

And they are all just laughing at the rest of us. That bloody ‘prince’ or whatever he is just sitting there with a bloody smirk on his face in the White House while trump validates him. I don’t validate him or trump. The people who do should be very ashamed of themselves.
