Jimmy Kimmel Rips Into Trump’s ‘Quiet, Piggy’ Remark: “Every Time He Gets Asked About Jeffrey Epstein, He Loses His Mind”
Jimmy Kimmel targeted President Donald Trump in his latest monologue after Trump reacted angrily to questions from reporters.
The jokes came shortly after Congress voted to release files related to Jeffrey Epstein. Kimmel joked, “Trump is not a happy little meal right now. Every time he gets asked about Jeffrey Epstein, he loses his mind.”
During the show, Kimmel played a clip of Trump on Air Force One pointing at a female reporter and saying, “Quiet, piggy.”
Kimmel commented, “He called her piggy. He said ‘Quiet, piggy’ to a reporter and it barely made the news… If a man spoke like that to a female coworker in a workplace harassment training video, you’d go, ‘Ah, that’s over the top. Nobody would do that.’ If the pilot on Air Force One behaved like the president, he wouldn’t be allowed to fly the plane.”
Kimmel also criticized Trump’s response to ABC News reporter Mary Bruce at a White House event. Bruce asked Trump about the murder of Washington Post journalist Jamal Khashoggi during his meeting with Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman.
She also questioned him about the newly released Epstein files. Trump called her a “terrible reporter” and said, “Your cr**** company is one of the perpetrators… I think the license should be taken away from ABC because your news is so fake and it’s so wrong. And we have a great commissioner, the chairman, who should look at that.”
Trump was likely referring to FCC Chairman Brendan Carr, who had been involved in a prior suspension of Kimmel’s show. Kimmel responded to Trump’s comment with, “I don’t know, the last time your FCC guy looked at that didn’t go so great for you.”
Kimmel’s segment highlighted his criticism of Trump’s treatment of reporters and his strong reactions to sensitive topics like Epstein. The show used humor to call out behavior that many see as unprofessional and aggressive toward the press.
