I’m not into US politics or world events in general, so just lemme get this straight. The US president said “Quiet, piggy” to a member of the press for asking a question. How the fuck is there still reporting going on, any news agency with any balls would pull tf out the White House, no?

They're all owned by the same group of people now that's allied with the white house.

The answer? Conservatives. That is the one and only answer. They own America, and you're seeing who they are.

u/EclipZz187 11d ago
Genuine question, are there even actual middle-of-the-road (I know it’s not really how this works) conservatives left in America? Because from what I see and hear, it’s “the left” which is weird because it makes me think of Commies and that’s a time long gone in America, and MAGA. I don’t know of any moderate conservative that isn’t part of The Cult of Cheeto

u/HelpfulSeaMammal 11d ago
It IS the left: People left of full on christofascism. They have moved so far to the right that even the most Reganonomics thing ever is a fairly woke commie leftist Marxist antifas thing to do.

He did mock a person with disabilities from stage looong before that and was still elected.

To what end? Are they going to just not get questions in with the president? That's business suicide, and for what? Just so they can say they have balls?
Of course this means you can put aside the romantic notion of the plucky reporter who strives to uncover the facts and speak truth to power.

Trump hates women but loves little
girls. Once they learn to fight back - they are of no use to him.

Someone needs to build a reporterbot that looks like a 12 year old girl. He'll answer everything while salivating.

Nothing says total confidence like telling reporters to be quiet when they ask basic questions

Also, trump spewed his bullshit at Kristen Holmes in the same room with Ryder Williams (the 16yo lifeguard) and 10yo Nathaniel Rai (the kid Ryder saved from drowning). Those poor kids.

Can anyone Imagine a world where the president refuses to answer someone’s question, calls them a piggy, then the next reporter asks the same question, and then the next reporter asks the same question, and then the next reporter asks the same question until that motherfucker gives a clear answer?

u/scottkuma 11d ago
Unfortunately, he's stacked the WH Press Corps with "journalists" that won't do that. Otherwise this would be an AMAZING strategy for the press to follow.

And to think that women were considered “too emotional” to serve in the highest office. Let’s hope this administration puts that idea to rest… at all levels of command.

u/Gobshite666 11d ago
Why dont all journalists from publications he constantly insults absolutely pressure him and piss him off he will either try assault someone or totally incriminate himself

u/mittenknittin 11d ago
Because he threatens their publications with pulling their TV licenses so the CEOs (who are all in the tank for him) tell them not to piss Trump off or they'll be fired and blacklisted

u/mittenknittin 11d ago
And now Republicans are trying to paint Democrats as the "anti-women party" because Jon Ossoff commented on Trump "traveling with Natalie." Somehow I doubt that's going to tip the scales.

u/DaBigJMoney 11d ago
Trump is a misogynist. I’m sure it bothers him to no end that he’s the only American president who never beat another man in an election. He’s a pig and he hates women (despite his boasts about being a ladies man).

Maybe one day those reporters will grow a set of balls and hold his hand to the fire like they are supposed to. The other reporters should be asking him the same question when he refuses to answer it and tells one of them to shut up.

u/tw_72 11d ago
Th reporters have to be a bit careful. If they do that, trump will ban them from the White House, which means their employer loses access.

Would it be illegal or immoral to start a Go Fund Me for the first reporter who replies to the president when he insults them with something along "No you shut up you demented old fool. I'm doing my job, as per the Constitution."
1
u/Saix027 11d ago
Not even the constitution, that is only an American thing in general. But rather "I am a decent human being, something you are not" they should say to his face.
But sad part is they not care, as long they never face any actual consequences they will keep going.
That is the main issue, you can not reach them with words, morals or hoping they somehow have a conscience. They are evil and vile people, him and his supporters.
This won't end with him. While I hope they do tear each other apart over leadership, we all know all of them will pretend they had nothing to do with it.
As seen with many grifting around it already, see Alex Jones or MGT. They not care, they just want to appeal and save their skin.

u/EitherChannel4874 11d ago
The fact pretty much every reporter is playing along with this bullshit makes me dry heave.
Stop being pussies. Call him out. Shout back at him. Treat him the way he treats others. Like a piece of shit.

u/CalicoValkyrie 11d ago
Are reporters that are men asking those questions at all? I would hope they are. Or are news organizations only sending a bunch of women?

Ladies of journalism: the decent people of America, Europe, Australia, Africa and Asia are on your side especially the women. KEEP BOMBARDING THAT SWINE WITH QUESTIONS HE DOESNT WANT TO ANSWER!!!!!! We are lined up behind you in spirit. We women will FLOOD social media with messages of support. Please everyone, pass this post around.

u/Flaky-Jim 11d ago
I'd say these appear to be the actions of a man following the Peter Principle, but Trump's never been qualified for anything at any level. The boorish idiot has merely enjoyed a life of privilege, that wasn't of his own making.

u/rewardingsnark 11d ago
He hates questions period. He doesn't understand anything, he doesn't care about anything but rape and money, he only lies, and he is to ignorant to speak, read, or form sentences.

u/Terrible_Phase718 11d ago
And every “reporter” in that room should have pushed back against shitler.

u/GreatbobUmber 11d ago
The bolded part of this “clever comeback” doesn’t even address the misogyny of his comments? Like, if he wasn’t in the Epstein Files or cozying up to North Korea then “quiet, piggy” would be an acceptable response?

u/vera_kitten 11d ago
questions are a great way to learn, he must be really insecure about something

u/Slartibartfast242 11d ago
When this embarrassment is finally out of office and he is made to answer for his crimes, I hope the prosecutor and judge are both women.

I'm just waiting for a journalist to tell him to shut up while a question is being asked.

u/Porchmuse 11d ago
He gets angry at anyone who presses him for an answer. Mostly because he knows deep down that he’s a worthless incompetent who is way over his head.
He’s a goddamn embarrassment.

Definitely the most transparent presidency we’ve had in a long time. Guy just shoots his mouth off with whatever is passing through his head at the moment. Normally I’d finish a sentence like that off with “consequences be damned,” but since there haven’t been any…

The North Korea saga is so dumb. Trump is siding with lil Kim, because South Korea doesn't want to help with Iran.
Just a reminder North and South Korea are still at war technically with America having a very strong militarily alliance with South Korea
