Leavitt: Trump’s “Piggy” Insult Shows “Honest” Insults are Respectful
White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt defended Donald Trump’s use of the term “Piggy” towards a female reporter, claiming it demonstrated the president’s “frankness and openness.” Leavitt emphasized that Trump’s behavior, including his direct engagement with reporters and his criticism of “fake news,” reflects a level of transparency unseen in the previous administration. According to Leavitt, Trump’s approach is more respectful than past administrations. The White House had previously defended the comment, stating the reporter’s behavior was “inappropriate and unprofessional.”
