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.

Oh, that's rich coming from someone who posted the following:

It's fucking hilarious how anti free speech and anti rule of law the grand old party have become

Is that what GOP stands for? There was I thinking that it was Gathering of Paedophiles...

"Quiet. Quiet, piggy."

Vile words to a (female) journalist simply doing their job .. spoken by an alleged 'World leader'... in full view, ultimately, of the rest of the world Would he have been so disrespectful if the journalist had been male? Possibly - that man has absolutely no saving graces and every time he opens his mouth, we are assured even further of his fragile mental state and his complete lack of finesse.

What shocked me even more was that none of the assembled journalists on Air Force One appeared to defend their colleague, either at the time or afterwards ... equally shameful behaviour.

I'm sick of American politicians saying there's no free speech in the UK.
The dept of war only allowing pre approved articles.
The White house press office more of the same ,any awkward questions and it's ridicule and banned from the press office.
America land of the free...aye right.

I assume you have evidence of Obama being on 'the list'?

Labelledelune · 24/11/2025 11:21

No Obama wasn’t on the list. But I think it’s a a good example of bots pushing false information to destabilise government.

Also, see ‘pizzagate’ and the pizza restaurant basement child abuse conspiracy is another example of a completely fictitious rumour flooding the MAGA heavy sites of the internet.

Pizzagate. It’s an old article but still interesting reading

I don’t think we know yet, do we? But if he is, and he raped girls/women, then he should go to prison.
What’s that got to do with Trump being a rude misogynist?

Trump is a pig of the first order -

Guess which ones tend to be armed to the teeth and have no conscience...

Yup.

Remember when she harassed David Hoog, a school shooting survivor in the street?

She said of him, quoting CNN, " “He’s a coward,” Greene says at the end of the video as Hogg walks away, claiming his activism was funded by billionaire philanthropist George Soros, who is often the subject of far-right conspiracy theories, and other liberals. “He can’t say one word because he can’t defend his stance.”

And now she claims she is a victim, of the exact same gun mad group she was cheerleader for.

Video of Republican Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene confronting Parkland shooting survivor David Hogg before she was elected to Congress went viral Wednesday amid an uproar over newly surfaced comments she made in 2018 and 2019 as reported by CNN’s KFile.

He has a wife. He has daughters. He has grand daughters. What must they think of him,

His wife and daughters publicly support him so they think it is fine. I’d say they think the same way. I think his granddaughters are a bit young to have come to a full realization of who their grandfather is.

I know his niece Mary thinks he’s a horrible human being. A bully and a coward who tries to wrestle the spotlight whenever he can, and tells ridiculous meandering stories no one is interested in. Yet dangerous - only because people allow him to be so. A creation of his father.

The most shocking thing is that NONE of the other journalists said a thing.
I’d just been teaching my class about being an Upstander, not a Bystander, and I was horrified.

If a British PM behaved like that to a journalist - or excluded any outlets that criticised him - the rest of the lobby would walk out in solidarity.

MGT has spent years being hated by the Left. 24 hours of being hated by the Right and she needs full security. It must be a bitter pill to swallow.

Good point.
