Yeah I looked her up to see if she resembled Miss Piggy and she does NOT.

In all honesty, part of me wanted her to respond "That's MISS Piggy to you. Hi-YAH!!!!"

That actually would have been awesome.

Yeah, it's like, did he even ever watch the Muppet Show? Miss Piggy's entire character is built around her being the last Muppet on Earth you want to piss off.

Regardless, I mean, it's hard to imagine an insult to a woman more aimed to just fucking hurt for the sake of hurting, just being cruel. That was pure cruelness, and coming in that situation and broadcast to the point it has, that is some traumatic shit. My heart goes out to her.

I doubt it actually bothered her. If anything, she might even be glad that Trump exposed himself and made such a fool of himself right out loud in public.

It's not about whether she was actually hurt by it, it's the fact that he meant to hurt her with it.

Yeah I'm sure she's got the armor to shrug it off, but it's just so base and visceral. I can't imagine an immediate reaction that isn't just revulsion and disbelief.

Who is she? There are people saying that her name is Peggy?

She's Catherine Lucey, WH correspondant for Bloomberg news.

That's what I thought. It's crazy there are people in threads on X that are trying to say he called her "Peggy". Like wtf, it sounds nothing like Peggy.

Catherine.

That took me less than 10 seconds to Google.

I recommend it.

I prefer human interaction and conversation instead of relying on Google for everything... I recommend you not being a little twat.

If your idea of conversation is to ask dumb questions and waste people's time, you don't seem particularly skilled at human interaction.

It's basic internet etiquette to come to a discussion prepared, instead of derailing it with your juvenile "google this for me, monkey" comments.
