“When asked for comment about Trump’s remarks on Air Force One, a White House official told The Guardian, “This reporter behaved in an inappropriate and unprofessional way towards her colleagues on the plane … If you’re going to give it, you have to be able to take.” The White House did not provide any evidence of inappropriate behavior. “Giving it” is doing one’s job, apparently, and “taking it” is being called a pig by the president for asking him a question.”

A pig is drawn trotting towards the viewer with a face like trump, replete with blonde wig and sucky tubular little mouth.
