Gavin Newsom mocks Trump with wild ‘piggy’ pic after president insults reporter
California Governor Gavin Newsom has used AI-generated images to mock former President Donald Trump. This comes after Trump called a female reporter “piggy” during an in-flight confrontation.
The incident occurred on Air Force One when reporter Catherine Lucey asked about newly released Jeffrey Epstein emails. Trump interrupted her, saying, “Quiet. Quiet, piggy,” a clip that quickly went viral.
Newsom’s press office responded by posting a series of altered images on social media. One depicted Trump as a pig showcasing gold renovation plans for the Oval Office.
Another image superimposed Trump’s face onto a pig’s body. A separate post featured a real photo of Trump with Jeffrey Epstein, captioned “piggies.”
The White House later defended Trump’s remarks. An official statement claimed the reporter had behaved unprofessionally toward her colleagues.
In a related development, Trump announced he signed a bill to release documents related to the Epstein case. He claimed credit for pushing the legislation through Congress.
This exchange highlights the increasingly personal and meme-driven nature of modern political conflicts. It demonstrates how public figures now use social media for rapid, visual retaliation.
