00:00Trump labels reporter Piggy over Epstein files, echoing past Miss Universe insult.

00:06While still dealing with the Jeffrey Epstein saga, Donald Trump revived a controversial

00:11moment with a comment to a reporter. The exchange took place aboard Air Force One

00:16on a flight to Mar-a-Lago on November 14th. When a question about the Epstein files irked him,

00:21he fired back, quiet, quiet, Piggy. While discussing Epstein, Trump told a female

00:27reporter to go ahead, then called another woman interrupting him Piggy, repeating a term he had

00:32used previously in a similar context. Former Miss Universe Alicia Machado accused Trump of calling

00:38her Miss Piggy in 1996 after she gained weight, a remark later highlighted by Hillary Clinton during

00:44the 2016 campaign. He was overwhelming. I was very scared of him. He'd yell at me all the time. He'd

00:51tell me, you look ugly or you look fat. Sometimes he'd play with me and say, hello Miss Piggy.

00:57Hello Miss Housekeeping. The former beauty queen claimed, Trump infamously invited reporters to

01:03film Machado working out to lose the excess weight, noting she weighed 118 pounds or 117 pounds,

01:10and she went up to 160 or 170. So this is somebody who likes to eat. After those ads, Trump called

01:17Machado the worst Miss Universe we ever had. The worst. The absolute worst. She was impossible. He said

01:26she had a massive amount of weight gain and criticized her attitude. He argued that Hillary

01:30Clinton elevated Machado like she was Mother Teresa. Trump's Piggy remark gave him a brief respite

01:37from Epstein coverage, as he finally yielded to pressure to release DOJ files on Epstein,

01:43previously dismissed as a Democrat hoax. As I said on Friday night aboard Air Force One to the fake news

01:50media, House Republicans should vote to release the Epstein files, because we have nothing to hide.

01:56And it's time to move on from this Democrat hoax perpetrated by radical left lunatics

02:00in order to deflect from the great success of the Republican Party. He added in a separate post,

02:07it's a Democrat hoax for purposes of deflection, just like the Russia, Russia, Russia scam.

02:12They had the sleazy relationships with Epstein and should be prosecuted.
