First 'piggy,' now 'ugly': Trump continues attacks on female reporters

The New York Times produced a detailed, data-driven report on President Trump showing signs of aging. The president, 79, responded by calling the female reporter who co-wrote the story “ugly.”

Trump responded on Wednesday morning by saying, “The Creeps at the Failing New York Times are at it again.”

He did not mention the male reporter who co-wrote the story, Dylan Freedman, who is on the newspaper’s AI initiatives team, but he personally attacked the female reporter, Katie Rogers, who is a White House correspondent.

“The writer of the story, Katie Rogers, who is assigned to write only bad things about me, is a third rate reporter who is ugly, both inside and out,” Trump wrote.

There will be a day when I run low on Energy, it happens to everyone,” Trump said, “but with a PERFECT PHYSICAL EXAM AND A COMPREHENSIVE COGNITIVE TEST (‘That was aced’) JUST RECENTLY TAKEN, it certainly is not now!

Diddling Donny's dementia is being expressed through "disinhibition" of language. He's losing his ability to be diplomatic.

How much longer are you journalists (because I know y’all read DU) will stand there in stunned silence while that pig insults your female coworkers? Silence implies consent or fear, or maybe both!

Anyway, if that was the pig calling your female significant others by those vile names, would you feel the same way, or just brush it aside? Grow a pair or even two pairs and SPEAK UP! to that pig!
