Trump's new insult to a journalist: 'Stupid'

The journalists he considers hostile to his presidency Donald Trump attacks all of them and always has. But, lately, the tycoon has indulged in a series of insults specifically aimed at female reporters, mostly sexist and misogynistic. The latest, in chronological order, at the address of Nancy Cordes of CBS. After the attack on two National Guard soldiers in Washington, the commander-in-chief accused Joe Biden's administration of failing to properly vet Afghans who had arrived in the US after the withdrawal of American troops.

During a press point at Mar-a-Lago on Thursday in the aftermath of the assault, the journalist pointed out to the tycoon that his 'Justice Department had reported that the FBI and the Department of Homeland Security had conducted thorough checks on the Afghans brought to the United States'. At which point Trump snapped and told her, "Are you stupid? Are you a stupid person?" "They arrived on a plane with thousands of other people who shouldn't be here, you only ask these questions because you are a stupid person," he insisted.

A few days ago, however, it had been the turn of Katie Rogers of the New York Times, 'guilty' of writing an article questioning his energy and health condition. It is an 'enemy of the people paper', attacked The Donald. And then addressing the reporter: 'She's a third-rate journalist, ugly both inside and out'. Ten days ago, a video had gone viral in which the president shushed Bloomberg's Catherine Lucey, who had asked him why he would not publish the documents on the Jeffrey Epstein case. "Quiet, quiet piggy. "Quiet, quiet piggy," had been Trump's response, which used a sexist, bodyshaming and even anti-animalist slur if you consider the term "piggy", "fat as a pig", in a derogatory sense.
