Presidents in glass houses…

Donald Trump’s verbal attacks have always carried an especially sharp edge when aimed at women, particularly female journalists who dare to challenge him. His latest outburst—calling a Bloomberg News correspondent a “piggy” during an exchange aboard Air Force One—fits a long and deeply troubling pattern.

What remains astonishing is Trump’s fixation on mocking others’ appearance when he is, by any measure, hardly an Adonis himself. His constant belittling of weight, age, and looks isn’t strength—it’s insecurity. And it underscores an old truth he seems determined to ignore: people in glass houses shouldn’t throw stones.

But the damage goes beyond one insult. When a president reduces women to their appearance, he sends a clear message that scrutiny and accountability are threats to be met with schoolyard cruelty. It’s petty, it’s misogynistic, and it’s unworthy of someone who occupies the highest office in the nation.
