Donald John Trump, who never wastes an opportunity to act like a jerk, has a history of referring to women as pigs. A brief stroll down memory lane will remind you that Alicia Machado, a former Miss Universe, was called “Piggy” by statesman Trump when he felt that she had gained too much weight after winning her pageant; he referred to Rosie O’Donnell as a pig after she mocked him on a daytime talk show; and quite recently, aboard Airforce One, Bloomberg News reporter Catherine Lucey was told, “Quiet, Piggy,” after she dared to ask a question about the Epstein files.
Pigs are not the only mammals stabled in Trump’s insult barn. He has called other women “dog,” “horseface,” and, more generically, “disgusting animal.”
But “pig” is a favorite epithet, so let us consider that epithet in light of each of the aforementioned definitions of “pig.”
1. A swine of either sex, especially a domestic hog, weighing less than 300 lbs.
Trump is a home-grown hog who tips the scale at about 250 lbs. Therefore, Donald Trump is a pig.
2. Any wild or domestic swine in the genus Sus, within the family Suidae Old World pigs.
Trump is descended from Old World pigs. His grandfather was an Old World pig who emigrated from Germany during the Gold Rush to open a house of prostitution in the Yukon. Therefore, Donald Trump is not just a pig, but an heirloom pig.
3. the flesh of swine; pork.
Trump has plenty of flesh on his bones. He is a porker of notable girth. Therefore, Donald Trump is a pig.
4. a person of piggish character, behavior, or habits, as one who is gluttonous, very fat, greedy, selfish, or filthy.
Trump is a fat, selfish, gluttonous, greedy individual. Legend has it that he passes gas incessantly and smells like a barnyard. Therefore, Donald Trump is a pig.
5. a police officer.
Trump continually refers to himself as the chief law enforcement officer of the United States. Therefore, Donald Trump is a pig.
6. an extremely rude, ill-mannered person, especially one who is sexist or racist.
Trump is clearly rude and ill-mannered, along with being a life-long sexist and racist. Therefore, Donald Trump is a pig.
7. an immoral woman, especially a prostitute.
Trump has prostituted himself all over the planet, selling himself to the highest bidder on an ongoing basis. He is as immoral as the day is long. He is a serial adulterer. He is promiscuous and lewd. Therefore, although he is not a woman, Donald Trump is a pig.
As for Catherine Lucey of Bloomberg News, she conforms to none of the definitions of “pig.” She is a reporter whose job it is to ask pointed questions of greasy politicians.
Therefore, Ms. Lucey is a journalist.
Quiet, Piggy.
