Of course you’re right, and I would argue that calling a woman a “fat, ugly pig” stems from the associations I point out.
The pig insult is so common, I think we’re all trying to understand why such a common and known insult would be so much more shocking to us. It isn’t just because it comes from a sitting US president. Trump is known for his viscous insults and we’ve all heard them.
Saying, “quiet, piggy” was a mask slip more revealing than many of us can even consciously comprehend.

You have to go even further back to 1980 when Chump, as a landlord in NYC, evicted a 74 year old widowed stroke victim by sending tough guys to her apartment. They came in and took her stuff and kicked her out. He’s heartless.
