US President Donald Trump has faced widespread criticism after calling a female reporter 'piggy' during a press interaction aboard Air Force One. The reporter, identified as Catherine Lucey, a senior White House correspondent for Bloomberg News, was asking about the ongoing controversy surrounding the Jeffrey Epstein files. Trump cut Lucey off, saying 'Quiet, piggy' as he pointed at her. The incident has sparked a heated debate, with many in the media community condemning the President's behavior. This is not the first time Trump has faced criticism for his treatment of female journalists. Lucey, a veteran journalist with over 20 years of experience, has worked for several top media outlets, including the Associated Press and the Wall Street Journal. She has reported on major political stories from across the US and internationally. The incident has drawn comparisons to a previous incident where a Trump administration official called a female pageant winner 'Miss Piggy' and asked her to lose weight. CNN's Jake Tapper and Fox News' Gretchen Carlson have both condemned Trump's behavior, calling it 'disgusting' and 'completely unacceptable'.
