US President Donald Trump has sparked controversy with his recent comment on a Bloomberg reporter aboard Air Force One. The incident occurred on Monday when a reporter, Catherine Lucey, asked Trump about the Epstein files. However, Trump interrupted her, saying 'Quiet, piggy.' Some of Trump's supporters have claimed that the President was saying 'Peggy,' but evidence suggests otherwise. The real Margaret Collins, also known as Peggy, is the Washington bureau chief at Bloomberg News, but she was not on the plane. Social media users have pointed out that the audio clearly shows Trump saying 'Quiet, Peggy,' referring to Catherine Lucey. Trump's comment has been defended by the White House, which claims that the reporter behaved unprofessionally. However, Bloomberg representatives maintain that their journalists perform a vital public service by asking tough questions without fear or favor. The controversy highlights the ongoing tension between the President and the press. As the debate rages on, one thing is clear: Trump's comment has sparked a heated discussion about the role of the media in a democratic society.
