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.

    An opportunistic psychopath who looks like a wax neanderthal got too close to a furnace, melted a little bit, then came to life, put on a suit and walked out of the museum and into the oval office: “You’re ugly inside and out.”

    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.

    I find it supremely funny that Trump is calling women ugly.

    Does he not own a mirror?

    The next reporter needs to fucking forgo their question and either ask:

    • Why do you think calling a woman ugly is appropriate?
    • When was the last time you shit your pants, Sundowner?

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

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

      Just read the article, apparently she asked if he was tired and able to keep working as president. Empirical evidence shows him dosing off on camera during meetings and him not sharing the raw health information. He claims he has never worked harder in his life which tells more about his work ethic than his work output.

      Remember during Covid when he was given a softball question for Trump to respond to the public who might be afraid. He did the same thing. He couldn’t even give a bland, Hollywood President level answer. He attacked the reporter asking it.
