The medical examiner claimed there were other instances of this.
Which means this is not an isolated case.

I’ve investigated a lot of domestic violence cases and something was gnawing at me about the way Trump lashes out at a female reporters.
Then it occurred to me that “Quiet, piggy!” is probably something Trump’s dad screamed at Trump’s mom.
