“Shut up, piggy”.

[EddyF]

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.

You're being unreasonable because people are not accepting it. It's a major news story with a lot of condemnation.

Most people are scared of him, and they weren’t raised to stand up to evil. Or else they are in denial that he’s evil.

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.

International media is condemning it left, right and centre. The White House has been asked to comment - it's not being accepted. In fact people are using it to draw parallels with other crappy stuff he has said. I don't know where you get the impression that no one is bothered about it?

I saw it as misogyny, not racism.

Also, it was " Quiet, piggy"

As with everything with trump, it’s so outrageous normal people struggle to place WTF is going on and what they could do about it

I have seen a lot of comments from people along the lines of this is hilarious people are too sensitive these days. If it were Biden even who came out with this everyone would be aghast but because it's blithering Trump, who I saw a video of earlier saying 'I like fish' and then hissing, it seems that for some anything goes.

Why is he never brought to account for anything?

I just read it and felt shocked then totally depressed because its this kind of thing is now just accepted and tolerated from a countrys leader so its just another unremarkable news story.

20 years ago that would end your career and you would have to resign as your party would make you.

Its just grossly unprofessional and wrong and unacceptable. No one shpuld be able.to vehave luke this without consequences or reprimand

The US have an elected dicator. I am just embarassed by our degeneration as a society.

And yet if someone said ‘Quiet Piggy’ to Melania…

He’s a vile pig himself.

What is shocking is that I’m not shocked anymore. I doubt there’s anything that man could do that would lead to any consequences for him. Which is also a shocking state of affairs.

What does “I like fish” and then hissing mean?

This!!
Who is accepting it?

Lots of people liked Obama, lots of people criticised him.

Thats politics. Politicians and world leaders are hated, despised, loved and worshipped in equal measure.

It’s barely been mentioned.

He is untouchable. He would have been cancelled after pussy gate in the UK, no self respecting UK politician would have been able to continue after that, I think people have been so desensitised by him now that he’s untouchable.

I suspect he will survive whatever horrors exist in the Epstein files. And Hillary Clinton was defeated by sending emails insecurely. Her biggest crime was being a woman.

Trump sycophants will accept anything
As would Obama sycophants

But most people are not just accepting that Trump said that. They just don't know what they can do any more, it's so low down on the list of things that man is getting away with (it's not even the worse thing he's said yesterday/today!)

I’m never shocked at how low he will go

he has been condemned by the majority of the press but his supporters will continue to support him

but the press need to just stick to reporting on his politics he feeds off this and it’s a good distraction and very convenient for us to be distracted right now

Well, the guy has rape accusations, hooker accusations, KKK links via his father, grab em by the pussy boasts, Epstein accusations…It’s not that he’s white - it simply is nothing new, coming from a man with form like him. We already know he’s a trash talking, sexist pig. What could he say that really surprises us? I feel like the bar for what’s acceptable from him is on the floor.

Lord knows. It was just a bizarre tangent in a speech. I don't think Trump knows what anything he says means.

I haven’t seen this reported anywhere?!

He recently shared an AI video of him literally dumping shit on the American people from a plane.
It makes you feel you’re going insane or in some weird dream.

Yes indeed. Flood the zone, to quote Bannon, so we just can’t keep up. We’re now all anaesthetised to this stuff.
