Which women reporters did Trump insult and on what specific dates?
Executive summary
A wave of public barbs from President Donald Trump in late 2025 targeted multiple women journalists across outlets; reporting identifies specific named targets and at least two precise dates (14 November 2025 and 26 November 2025), while other insults are placed in the late‑November/early‑December 2025 period but lack single‑day attribution in the available sources [1] [2] [3]. This account lists named women reporters who have been publicly insulted in that window, attaches the dates sources explicitly provide, and notes where reporting documents an incident without a clear calendar date [4] [5] [6].
1. Catherine Lucey — “Quiet, piggy” aboard Air Force One, 14 November 2025
Bloomberg White House correspondent Catherine Lucey is identified by multiple outlets as the reporter Trump snapped at aboard Air Force One, telling her “Quiet, piggy” while she asked about material in the Jeffrey Epstein files; several accounts place that exchange on 14 November 2025 [7] [8] [1]. The reports describe the remark as part of a broader confrontation on the aircraft and treat the date 14 November 2025 as the specific incident day [7] [1].
2. Katie Rogers — called “ugly, both inside and out,” reported 26 November 2025
New York Times reporter Katie Rogers was publicly singled out on Truth Social by the president after a Times story, and outlets cite a November 26, 2025 appearance of Trump’s attack in which he called Rogers “a third rate reporter who is ugly, both inside and out,” with The Times defending its reporting in response [9] [2] [10]. Coverage frames that online post and the accompanying hostility as occurring in late November 2025, with Deadline and other outlets explicitly reporting the November 26 date for the publicized insult [2].
3. Mary Bruce — admonished as “a terrible person and a terrible reporter,” late November 2025 (date not precisely reported)
Multiple outlets report that ABC News correspondent Mary Bruce was berated by Trump—described in coverage as being told her question was “horrible, insubordinate” and that she was “a terrible person and a terrible reporter”—in an episode tied to White House exchanges in late November 2025, but the sources do not universally provide a single, explicit calendar date for that particular rebuke within the materials provided here [11] [12].
4. Nancy Cordes and other named women — “are you a stupid person?” and other barbs, late‑November cluster (dates vary or unspecified)
Reporting attributes an “Are you a stupid person?” rebuke to Trump aimed at CBS’s Nancy Cordes during a separate late‑November interaction, and also documents him calling other women reporters “stupid,” “nasty,” “incapable” or “obnoxious” across the same window; several pieces compile these remarks as part of a month‑long pattern rather than pinning each to a precise day in the sources provided [5] [13] [10] [3].
5. Weijia Jiang and unnamed reporters over the MRI and cognitive test exchanges — late November / early December 2025 (incidents reported, dates not always explicit)
Accounts describe an Air Force One or press‑availability sequence in which CBS’s Weijia Jiang asked about what an MRI had been looking at and was met with dismissive answers and comments about reporters’ capability; other items reference an unidentified CNN reporter called “stupid” over an Iran question and a female reporter asked about an MRI on or around late November/early December 2025, but the source material supplies the incidents and context without a consistently cited single day for all of these encounters [3] [14] [6].
6. Additional named reporters cited in compiled lists — Karen Travers, Libby Dean and others, late‑November period (dates not precisely attributed)
The Independent and other outlets list ABC’s Karen Travers and NewsNation’s Libby Dean among recent female reporters Trump disparaged—Travers characterized as “very loud” in one exchange and Dean chastised as part of the MRI/cognitive test back‑and‑forth—but those accounts situate the insults within the late‑November surge of attacks and do not provide individual, precise dates in the excerpts available here [4] [6] [5].
Conclusion and limits of the record
The sources corroborate a cluster of insults aimed at women reporters concentrated in mid‑to‑late November 2025 and into early December 2025, with two explicit dates appearing in the reporting: 14 November 2025 for the Bloomberg reporter Catherine Lucey’s “Quiet, piggy” exchange and 26 November 2025 for the public attack on NYT reporter Katie Rogers [7] [1] [2]. Other named targets—Mary Bruce, Nancy Cordes, Weijia Jiang, Karen Travers, Libby Dean and additional women—are repeatedly cited across outlets as victims of disparagement in that period, but the provided sources do not consistently attach a single calendar date to each episode; where a specific date is not supplied above, the reporting documents the incident but does not allow a definitive day attribution from the material at hand [11] [5] [3] [4] [6].
