President Donald Trump's "quiet piggy" comment to a reporter has stuck out to Americans over recent weeks, but once upon a time, he was on the receiving end of such an insult.

On Nov. 14, a reporter on Air Force One was asking Trump a follow-up question about the Jeffrey Epstein files when Trump cut her off, pointing a finger toward her and leaning in as he said: "Quiet! Quiet, piggy."

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt brushed off a question about what the comment meant at a Nov. 20 press briefing, saying "the president is very frank and honest."

But Trump's comments fit into a longer habit of open hostility towards reporters, and he called 1996 Miss Universe "Miss Piggy" when she gained weight following her pageant win.

But when was he the "piggy?" Here is what to know.
