“Shut up, piggy”.

It always amazes me how fat, ugly men like Trump still feel qualified to attack a woman’s physical appearance. Like they believe they, as men, are allowed to be unattractive but not women.

The hypocritical misogyny.

And he is the most unpresidential, unprofessional president the USA has ever had. I don’t see how he has fans here in the UK. He’s so crass.

Are you not getting a bit mixed up and conflating whataboutisms here.

The UK is a free country still, and if the KSA want to do sportwashing, then the UK government can't stop people from taking the money and participating.

You can ask away and ask any copper anything about his job.

Post office, what morning sickness drug.

We can point fingers all we want.

At the moment I am pointing my finger at Trump, and calling him a sexist bully twat.

Some people have voted for both. Obama and Trump. The very same people.

Similar to the situation we are in the UK really. Dumb people voting in Labour, not because Starmer was going to be a great leader, but because they wanted the useless Tories out. And now here we are with a government who is slowly bringing our country to its knees, with its main players exiting left stage due to fiddling/corruption (one currently who has escaped due to other big news story saving her arse) and we’re left with someone who is of no use because every time he tries to vote through anything of significance, his lefty back benchers vote against it, so we’re left with a leader who is not fit for purpose.

I mean, it's no surprise that Trump is one of the very cuntiest cunts ever to walk the earth.

His supporters don't care, mostly because they are as thick as he is, so stuff like this doesn't bother them. The rest of the world just have to look on and hope he hasn't completely fucked things up by the time he gets thrown out - assuming he hasn't basically become a dictator by that point and refuses to leave.

I don't understand your point, sorry.

People here are saying he called her fat. She is very slim so that imo appears unlikely. How is it unreasonable to point that out.

Also, I don't have an argument, I'm just gossiping about something saw in the news.

You are not making your argument sound any better with a comment about her appearance.

Well so has the UK ignored all the human rights abuses and murders, via Saudi because we want their money poured into our sport. It's actually worse than Trump's political motives. We protect the worse people imaginable. We don't ask for individual explanations from police officers and leaders why they've ignored child sexual abuse. There never was the prosecutions over Hillsborough/the Post Office scandal and now the morning sickness drug scandal etc. We can't point fingers.

I meant unknown as in her name hadn't been released (it hadn't when I first read about this incident).
I've googled her and she's very slim so him calling her piggy as some sort of fat insult is even more bizarre now imo.

The journalist is not unknown, she is vetted and has a press pass and she was just doing her job asking him about the Epstein files.

Just because im putting forward an alternative view doesn't mean I'm a Trump supporter fgs 😂

Double post sorry.

Always a " but" somewhere.

That is very very wrong indeed. But the 'piggy' incident isn't more acceptable for it (two wrongs and all that). I mean, it just paints a dismal picture. It's beyond me how that man can be in office and speaks volumes about the actual puppeteers enabling this shit.

What utter nonsense. Which media are you referring to specifically?

How is Bloomberg corrupt?

For someone claiming to love free speech, he certainly likes to silence media outlets.

Because he is just like the people who support him. They see themselves in him and that he legitimises this type of behaviour.

It is not how I was brought up. I blame the parents.

I don't think there's any need to be so snarky. I didn't realise the name of the journalist was known. I do think what he said comes across as rude but I was just voicing an alternative opinion to the he's racist, misogynistic etc because he said this. I was trying to understand why he said it and putting theories forward.

I don't hold Trump in high regard but neither do I rant about him for the sake of it.

Also what he said put me in mind of the journalist pigs in Spitting Image 😂

Edited to add: I've just looked up the journalist. She's very slim so him calling her piggy makes even less sense now!!

Lazy, stupid, coward, thick.
And yet he's the most powerful man on earth. Seems to work very well for him doesn't it.

I saw a video but can't fully make it out...he's having a conversation with a reporter, is it another reporter who interrupted mid conversation that he said "quiet piggy" to or was he shutting down the conversation with the person he was talking to? At the point he says it, it just seems to be a few voices talking at once and I can't quite make it our, it just turns into noise.

He is being brought to account. The event itself took place on his aeroplane. Very difficult for anyone to stand up to the most powerful man in the world in a confined space. Particularly when that confined space is a plane that's in the air at the time. Nowhere for the challenger to go if it gets nasty.

Its not a very nice thing to say but lets face it the media are pure poison, they cause so very many problems in today’s society!

Well, the current POTUS is clearly losing it. As a tactic, if I were in charge of any kind of news outlet now, the reporter I would be sending to presidential briefings would be female, messy hair, no make up, frumpily dressed and asking him awkward questions incessantly, simply to provoke more of this mad behaviour.

Whether or not people see through it or not, it's an approach that has worked pretty well for him to date.

Trump is a vile, misogynistic man who cannot tolerate scrutiny or criticism. However, these traits were well known to the American public when they elected him, so it was already priced in.

What Americans will make of Trump defending the Saudi prince, I don't know. They may not care much about that either.

It will be interesting to see how the Epstein files change anything. I think it's very likely that they won't.

What we've learnt from this presidency is that the American people don't actually give a shit about the character or moral values held by their president.

It seems that the only thing they do care about is the dollar in their pocket. And that isn't going too well for Trump right now.
