“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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

And let’s be clear Obama could not get away with a lot of things Trump has. He could not get away with calling female reporters “pigs”, he would never have been elected had he bragged about grabbing women “by the p*ssy”. And if Obama had multiple kids for 3 baby mothers (ok, “wives”) like Trump he would never get NEAR the presidency.

But there are certain “privileges” that afford different treatment based on your demographics.

The mainstream media…shit stirring trouble makers who cause division!

How are they causing division by reporting Trump’s words?

Which media do you follow instead?

If you think that that's thinking rationally, you probably shouldn't be allowed anything sharp.

Sounds like the kind of insult that would be used in a Reception class by a 4 year old.

And all that makes Trump’s behaviour acceptable? Your comment is ridiculous 🙄

I genuinely don't know what Americans expect at this point. He has a criminal record. He did the whole "grab em by the pussy" schtick. He is in the Epstein report. He has been bankrupt and has corruption track records going back decades. He always tries to spark division and hate. He has presided over telling people autism is caused by paracetamol and doesn't believe in Climate Change. He banned abortions FGS.

They VOTED for him. It isn't a game, they chose this.

Where do you get your news from?

Oh, you know, X, TikTok, GB News, Fox, Facebook. No shit stirring or division to be found there.

Not to mention not having to worry about any pesky facts.

Perhaps it's because they call him out on his bullshit? The reputable ones do anyway.

I don't think that there has been a free and fair election in the US for a long time. Never mind Elon hacking the polling machines last year or whatever went on in Florida in 2000, the amount of gerrymandering and voter suppression is appalling.

Anything before the ‘but’ can always be discounted…

You are being unreasonable to make this about race.

Sometimes yes, but not always.

It's not really similar at all. We have a government who are a bit useless. The US has a corrupt, perverted, grifting toddler wielding a wrecking ball.
