In a Truth Social post, the president lashed out at journalist Katie Rogers after an article questioned whether he was slowing down

Donald Trump lashed out on Wednesday against a New York Times reporter, calling her “ugly inside and out” in his latest personal insult against female members of the media after last week calling another “piggy”.

In a Truth Social post, Trump criticized the newspaper for an article suggesting he was running low on energy in his 80th year, insisting he had “never worked so hard in my life”.

When you’re an orange, demented, chronically ill fat fuck, I bet even wiping your ass might feel like the hardest work you’ve done in your life.

    When he makes these insults I always look at what it was in response to as it’s nearly always a hard truth.

      There is hard physical work, and obviously Trump never did that, because he is shying away from any kind of physical effort.
      There is also hard mental work, but that too Trump is shying away from, and has never really tried, because he is really not very smart, so his biggest effort is about hiding that, to satisfy his narcissistic personality.

      He will however boast about anything and everything without merit.

    Says the guy that, despite money, only managed to peak at a generous 5/10 for a very brief moment long before most of us were born.

    Even gussied up and in his 20s, he still always looked like Mr Toad.

    Every insult applies to him so completely that it really just seems like a textbook self defense mechanism, make fun of others for the things you’re insecure about so they can’t do the same to you.

      He’s probably been surrounded by gold digging women and hanger-ons and other dumbass rich assholes for all of his life, so I’m quite sure he has no real idea of where he really ranks without his (alleged) wealth.

        I mean there’s defintely a high amount of generic spoiled rich kid self-important indoctrination in the foundation bricks of his identity. But he’s also a classic clinical narcissist. He can never acknowledge the flaws, for sure. But he copes with them still. He compulsively deflects any criticism, accusation, or insults onto others. He pathologically boasts about anything and everything with absurd distortions and lies. And he surrounds himself with opportunists who will kiss ass for a bit of his power and influence as well as genuine sycophants, not just to have a legion of yesmen, but also to be flanked on all sides by people propping his ego against the very justified and real hatred of him from the entire world.

        If he weren’t so insecure, he wouldn’t be throwing insults at people. They’re a direct compulsive reaction to someone making him have to see a flaw in himself. And his favorite insults just so happen to be things that he’s demonstrated himself. Ugliness, fatness, being unintelligent, nastiness, etc. He is incapable of seeing and of accepting those flaws, so it’s not like he consciously thinks he’s fat, ugly, or whatever, because he can’t. But those are the things that hurt him most subconsciously, so he uses them on others.

    It is the typical Republican projection. He is fat and ugly and he knows it deeply. He knows he is ugly because he does the make-up, high heels and the fake hair. He knows he is fat because he can barely lug his fat ass around and needs a golf cart.

    He’s like my kid when he was 7. He fully believes “Ugly” is the worst thing you can say about someone, a real cutting remark.

    Let’s hope he doesn’t learn other words.

    If trump was really this big of an issue and clearly he is then why is he kept in power

    Obviously rigged so the most incompetent more easily controlled elderly person gets to be president regardless if they prefer red or blue

    Can’t fathom the ins and outs but something rotten stinks and it is not coming from Denmark

      The folks behind Project 2025 realized that in order to be done most effectively, lots of laws would need to be broken, and the President would need to appropriate powers that aren’t really his. They created a perfect scenario to circumvent this:

      • a President who doesn’t give a shit about laws
      • a Supreme Court who says the President can break all the laws he wants to, and impeachment is the only remedy
      • a Congress who will not impeach the President for breaking the law, as long as he is doing it for reasons they approve of.

      So, the net effect is that he was put there, on purpose, to remake the Federal Government to be so small it can drown in the bathtub, in spite of laws to rhe contrary. He has the government by the pussy, abd Republicans let him do it.

      Even if Gavin wins in 2028, he will inherit an executive branch that is eviscerated and has no ability yo do anything. Moderates will tag him as “ineffective” and run to the next Republican in 2032. Then all bets are off…

    It reminds me of when Amanda Bynes had her mental health episode and publicly was calling celebrities and many people “ugly”
