It’s a fair cop – there are so many to choose from, at times several in a day.
It took less than a minute to find online support for the accusations/confessions/Trump theory.

Of course it doesn’t mean jack to his cult members.
It would get a HUGE laugh on one side of the chamber, that’s for sure…
In a shrill Kermit the Frog voice.
Maybe the Quiet Piggy chant can be during the World Cup. Tees in over 30 languages.
People who are gonna support Trump have already priced in his behaviour into his offer. They’re not going to charge their minds over stuff like this.
Miss Piggy has something to say. She sure talks pretty.
My favorite line (among many):
A man who calls a woman “piggy” because he cannot withstand a factual question is not strong. He is not clever. He is not bold.
He is a big, loud, pathetic problem. A problem the size of a collapsing casino.
Wow, that’s great.
Jim Henson’s Kermit would never have said “Quiet, Piggy” yet if they want the “classic” Miss Piggy voice, Frank Oz is still around.
Yet clearly, this is trump quoting Bart Simpson, who is at least paraphrasing (can’t recall a direct quote) something from Golding’s “Lord of the Flies”.
I reckon the “Democratic Congressmen should be executed” could be it’s own thread, but it’s an atrocity-of-the-day, apparently a few days old and he hasn’t written an EO to demand it yet.
This President has a marvelous sense of humor. Dunno if that episode was on recently in DC or if he just watches the box sets, yet watching classic Simpsons proves he is the Greatest President, nay American, Ever. < / troy McClure >
Miss Piggy has always been one of my favourite Muppets (though I have a teenage style crush on Janice).
She does not take shit.
Piggy was the voice of reason in that book.
(Also… does Trump even understand sarcastic humour? His limited efforts seem to be just insulting his foes, school bully style. Sarcasm is clever, pointed at the defect in the targeted individual and cuttingly brutal.)
Right wingers generally seem to only understand “humor” based on bigotry and cruelty.
Excellent article that said what needed to be said, but I’m afraid it wasn’t really convincing in using Miss Piggy’s voice. It didn’t sound like the character at all. So, not really successful as satire.
I misread this as “Lord of the Files” and chuckled.
“Lords of the Files” was in fact a rejected title for Brazil.
When I was a kid, listening to Simon and Garfunkel’s album Bookends, reading the lyrics on the back, I though the line in “Mrs. Robinson” went:
We’d like to know a little bit about you for our flies…
I pictured some private detective’s filthy office with flies buzzing around.

A frank and open response by the piggy person would have been “Please answer the question asshole”.
Is this not an insult that could be considered slander?
Trump is guilty of far worse, but I would be delighted if he went down for rampant sexism.
I don’t think it’s actionable slander.
“See Exhibit A, a medical report that shows my client is human, not a piggy as claimed by the defendant.”
