Trump Attacks Female Journalists, Calls One 'Ugly' Again
Trump Attacks Female Journalists, Calls One 'Ugly' Again
Former President Trump's latest attack targets a female journalist, calling her 'ugly, both inside and out' as questions about his energy persist.
Donald Trump sparked fresh controversy by directing a personal attack at a female journalist, calling Katie Rogers 'ugly, both inside and out' and labeling her 'third-rate'. The remarks came a few days after he used a similar insult against another female reporter, calling her 'piggy', following media coverage that questioned his energy and stamina. Observers note a pattern in his rhetoric that targets women in journalism, a move that has drawn sharp criticism from press groups and many colleagues who say such language poisons public discourse. Supporters, however, contend the attacks are a response to what they see as biased reporting and sensationalized headlines. Media watchers say the cycle of personal remarks and counter-accusations underscores the charged climate surrounding the presidency and raises questions about the impact on coverage and newsroom culture. As the controversy unfolds, experts warn about normalization of personal insults in political debate and urge reporters to stay balanced and resilient.
