52° and Sunny

Earlier this week, two women threw down the gauntlet in direct challenge to the president—pressing him on the Epstein files and the sadistic murder of Jamal Khashoggi, the Washington Post journalist.
The first confrontation came aboard Air Force One, when a Bloomberg reporter asked about the Epstein documents. The president dismissed her with the remark, “Quiet, piggy.”
The second moment unfolded in the Oval Office. Mary Bruce of ABC questioned both Trump and Mohammed bin Salman regarding Trump’s business ties in Saudi Arabia, the Epstein files, and the brutal killing of Khashoggi. Trump responded by calling ABC “fake news” and attacking Bruce personally, saying she was a terrible reporter—and a terrible person—for daring to ask such questions.
What must be noted is this: in both cases, many male reporters were present. And they stood mute.
