Trump snaps at female reporter in furious outburst: “Be quiet, piggy”
What exactly Lacey was accused of doing to fellow reporters remains unclear. But critics note that this kind of deflection is entirely in line with how the Trump team typically responds to press controversies—and mirrors the president’s long-running hostility toward the media.
“I think the license should be taken away..”
This isn’t Trump’s first public clash with reporters. Over the weekend, he also fired a sharp four-word rebuke at a journalist who interrupted one of his impromptu briefings: “You are the worst. I don’t know why they even have you.”
He suggested that his ally, FCC Chairman Brendan Carr, should consider taking action against ABC over its reporting.
“I think the license should be taken away from ABC because your news is so fake and it’s so wrong,” he said.
The latest incident has reignited concerns about how Trump engages with the press, drawing condemnation for his choice of words and his targeting of a female journalist in particular.
