Nolte: Hypocrites Feign Outrage over Trump Telling Reporter ‘Quiet, Piggy’

John Nolte 18 Nov 2025

The left, which obviously includes the corporate media, is now outraged that President Trump told a reporter who was badgering and interrupting him, “Quiet, piggy.”

Yes, the very same people who call Trump a Nazi, Hitler, fascist, a racist, a rapist, and mock his looks, are feigning outrage over … “Piggy.”

If you watch the video, you will see that…

Trump is obviously answering questions. Trump is obviously leaning into a particular reporter. Trump is obviously trying to hear that reporter’s question so he can answer it. At the same time, this piggy is yap-yap-yapping in his ear—interrupting and being a selfish, dare I say piggy, when he’s trying to interact with someone else.

If you don’t want to be called a “piggy,” don’t act like one.

Here’s Jake Tapper white knighting as usual. The same Jake Tapper who once did an entire CNN segment about Trump’s penis is worried about decency, or something…

Well, Jake...just don't vote for him in 2028!   

[DefiantMassRINO]

It could have been worse.  The Orange One could have called her a 'sow'.

[catfish1957]

If I was Trump, I'd have one of the Nine Inch Nails  Pig songs/videos on continuous loop for a few hours on the Media screen.

Like W did with their songs to torture the terrorist at Gitmo.

[verga]

Po ting, Po, po wittle ting. At least he didn't tell her to "Shut F^#K up!". She should be grateful for that.

[mountaineer]

That he was talking to Peggy Collins from Bloomberg News may be relevant. He said, "Peggy."

Remember when Joe Biden called Peter Doocy a “Stupid son of a bitch”!

Never mind.

Both good points. I didn't realize the reporter's name was Peggy, although I do think he said "piggy". I don't mind him slapping down the press. They need it. But I still don't like the remark as I didn't like Biden's.

Hmph... and of course the media lies about it.

Catherine Lucey, Bloomberg’s White House correspondent, had taken advantage of a press opportunity with the president – known as a gaggle – to ask a question about the unfolding Jeffrey Epstein scandal and the possibility of the House voting to release all of the files related to his case, which now appears likely.

And Leavitt and others didn't deny but defended the remark

Trump was out of line.  He should have said Miss Piggy

Peggy from "USA Prime Credit," ?

[dfwgator]

Ha ha charade you are!

[Weird Tolkienish Figure]

So was it Peggy or Piggy? It wasn't this Peggy person?

[LMAO]

It wasn't this Peggy person?

It appears not

And the White House is defending the "Piggy" remark

The claim he was saying "Peggy" is patently ridiculous

[Cyber Liberty]

It doesn't matter to me.  She (whatever her name was) was hogging the time in the gaggle with stupid questions, and that pisses Trump off.  Hence, "piggy."

[LMAO]

Trump has a history of hurling insults at women who confront him so this doesn't surprise me and it shouldn't surprise anyone else

You want to beat me up?

So back in the 80's. I remember Reagan was at a table in a meeting or something and the press was interrupting him and he called them "assholes" for interrupting. I distinctly remember it, but could not find proof it happened. My mom was not then nor now a big Republican fan so she wasn't happy about it.

It was "W" calling a reporter that on a hot mic

Utter bullshit...that's not why you got popped.  Pick on @Wingnut all you want, he's tough.  It's like scrapping with me, I don't care either.  But, when you get into it with the whole forum....you get time out.

And it wasn't just my decision, the Mod Team discussed it first.  Personally, I hate dealing out ban hammers.  It's abhorrent to me.

Nope. That’s not what happened

You let him call my autistic son retarded over and over and only got after me for responding. You said nothing to him. Why is that? Rhetorical question. I know the reason why.

 That's when you suspended me.

I guess I was raised differently. I don't believe in attacking the handicapped or calling women "pigs" especially a female reporter just doing her job. But the president does so I guess it's fitting many of his supporters do, also

BTW, that particular poster has gotten away with also calling a female poster "Jew hating bitch" without so much as a warning

[mountaineer]

That he probably said PEGGY doesn't matter at all, then?

[LMAO]

That he probably said PEGGY doesn't matter at all, then?

Because he didn't

Not even the WH is claiming that. They're defending the "piggy" comment

When is this denial when it comes to Trump going to end? When Mamdani types control all branches of government? I understand that denial is a defense mechanism but as some point reality has to hit

And this goes beyond him calling reporters "Piggy" or crying  "fake news" when they  ask legitimate questions

The economy isn't working for most people, their costs of living is going up despite the president claiming it isn't, we get several spins or excuses when it comes to Trump's relationship with Epstein and the investigation to the point that most Americans aren't buying the Trump administration's story, he smooches up to MBS and Putin to the point of making excuses for the former and willing to surrender to the latter, he's suggesting a "tariff dividend" which will blow up the deficit and accelerate inflation and further accelerate the debt faster than it already is under his watch, he's bailing out other countries,ect ect  and it all came to a head earlier this month when republican office holders throughout the country were voted out   which is a trend that will continue into 2026

I've been called left of center, a liberal, a democrat. and Kamala Harris(admittedly, this one made me laugh) on this forum for pointing all  this out here, along with other things Trump has done that we wouldn't tolerate from a Democrat,  but I can guarantee that Mamdani and I don't agree on much unlike the president

When you are a Moderator, I'll consider your opinion valid.  Now you are just calling me a liar with no basis in fact.  I guess you were raised differently.

This is true, and I think the "piggy" slur was classless and uncalled for.  I do expect a minimum standard of decorum from our Presidents and this ain't it.

When reporters don't get the answer they like, they repeat the question in a different way until they get the sound bite they can take out of context.  Trump is wise to that and he hates that.  Piggy had it coming for wasting the other reporters time.

I get that.  Reporters are inconsiderate and rude and always have been since newspapers has been in business.  But Reagan is my role model in such things, and even though he has had his moments, I don't think he would ever have to a female reporter to "quiet, piggy".  He was too much of a gentleman, and that's the standard I subscribe to with our leaders.

I can see your point, but Trump has to be Trump, and if it pisses off hostile reporters so much the better.

Well, I went back to that thread and I see that you or your comrade in arms deleted some of his posts calling my disabled son a retard but the ones were I quoted him are still there. And not one instance in that thread did you chastise him. And I know why. Bros gotta stick together, I guess

But if attacking women and disabled people brings you and he joy, well, that’s more a reflection of you two than me

I sleep well at night. Perhaps someday you and he will as well

One of the first things I learned at Moderating School was we always get accused of "uneven Moderating" whenever somebody gets butthurt from being moderated.  The accusations have no effect.

The problem with this nonsensical post is the thread is there for all to see. You didn’t warn us both. You just did it to me for defending my disabled son from being called a retard by another poster. At no point, not once, did you even say a word to your bro


So spare me your nonsense.

I thank you for proving my point.  Since you always have to have the last word, here's your chance....

Yep, baseball has always been the uniting topic, no matter your opinions or POV.  Takes a special kind to screw that up.

The reason  why this administration unraveling is because they/re not good at spin

The best administration in my life that were good at spin was the Clinton administration. Not that they were honest. It's they stuck to one spin

Here's the Trump administration and their supporters

1)"He didn't call her Piggy. He called her Peggy(something the WH isn't even claiming) but calling her PIggy shows the president's frankness and she had it coming"

2) "Tariffs don't raise costs but we will get rid of tariffs on some items because of cost and don't any of you business pass these non existent cost increases onto consumers"

3) The Epstein files are on our desk but they're a hoax invented by Biden and Obama but we are going to pressure the GOP in Congress to vote against releasing the hoax and now we are opening a new investigation into this hoax

4) Prices are down and the economy is the "hottest in the world" but if they're not, it's Biden's fault

None of this is selling to the general public, of course. But everyone is off on their own in this administration. They need to pick one lie and stick to it
