Emily Maitlis’s A++ dissection of Donald Trump’s outrageous ‘quiet, piggy’ comment will surely not be bettered
It was the week in which Donald Trump expertly limboed under the record breaking low bar he had already set himself.
Okay, so he didn’t limbo – he slithered – but it was this ‘quiet, piggy’ comment that taught right-thinking watchers everywhere that it’s impossible to underestimate the president of the United States.
SHOCKING: In a disgusting moment, Trump shouted personal insults at a reporter asking him about incriminating evidence in the Epstein files, shouting “Quiet! Quiet Piggy.”

His entirely on-brand outburst prompted no end of comment and reflection but we’re not sure any went more viral than Emily Waitlis, the former Newsnight presenter turned Newsagent podcaster.
And it’s so totally on the money, it hurts.

Nailed it!
And here are just a few of the comments it promoted.
1.
Maitlis nails exactly why the “Quiet Piggy” insult is so uncomfortable.
A must watch. https://t.co/bXkY58GrZe

Lets not forget the Farage “Listen love” interview with Mishal Husain. Its the same approach.

The only reporters that Trump likes are the ones who kiss his fat ass. https://t.co/vNYFZukYTl

I think there’s only one valid response to being called “piggy”. pic.twitter.com/RDBTJMCbZ3

Oh it’s so vile, so demeaning…
But Trump is a portly little fat pot.

Why the heck won’t anyone stand up to him though?
Yesterday, he called someone a terrible reporter. Why not just respond with, ‘better than being a terrible President.’
I just cannot stand that bully. When will he get his comeuppance? https://t.co/95hJs1qYxB

Just in the interests of balance and all that, it should be pointed out that not everyone appeared to agree with it.

They were just wrong, obviously.
