Donald Trump’s hostility toward journalists has been on full display multiple times this week.

But his latest outburst at a female Bloomberg reporter may have crossed the line, according to his critics, who say it was one of his most extreme attacks lately.

“Quiet! Quiet, piggy!”
Just days before reversing his stance on releasing Jeffrey Epstein’s files, President Donald Trump found himself in yet another explosive clash with the press — this time calling a female reporter “piggy” after she asked about his name appearing in emails from the late financier and convicted sex offender.

According to BBC, the confrontation occurred on Air Force One on November 14, as Trump faced questions about recently released emails from Epstein, who died in prison in 2019.Trump dismissed the inquiry, saying he knew nothing about the messages and insisting the focus should be on others named in the files — including former President Bill Clinton.

When a Bloomberg reporter, Catherine Lucey, attempted a follow-up, Trump abruptly turned to her and said: “Quiet! Quiet, piggy.”The brief exchange was caught on camera and quickly went viral, sparking outrage online. The footage shows Trump leaning in, pointing his finger, and delivering the remark in a sharp, unusual tone.

The reporter had begun asking: “If there’s nothing incriminating in the files, sir, why not…” before Trump cut her off.

Trump’s remark comes amid growing calls for the Justice Department to release all records related to Epstein. Over the weekend, he reversed his position, urging Republicans to back a bill demanding the release of the files.
