Source: NY Times

Mr. Trump, in his trademark suit and tie, posed for photographs beside her as she burned
calories in front of the news media. “This is somebody who likes to eat,” Mr. Trump said
from inside the gym.

“I was sick — anorexia and bulimia for five years,” she said in an interview with The New York Times in May. “I was 18. My personality wasn’t created yet. I was just a girl.”

Ms. Machado recalled the specific taunts from Mr. Trump that Mrs. Clinton invoked on Monday
night during the debate, as well as another sobriquet: “Miss Eating Machine.”

The scar, she says, still remains.

It's rude to talk about anyone's appearance but given Trump's massive girth it's also hypocritical.

He would make a great CEO for a health insurance company but would be a disaster as president. A very scary monster.

she looks great now.

Trump insults everybody and then complains when someone is "mean" or "not nice" to him.

Get him out of here.

He's not defending tRump. If it is about the user name, it's a Monte Python reference. "It's spelled Raymond Luxuryyacht but it's pronounced Throatwarlbler Mangrove"

He also had the 400 pound hacker comment or whatever it was he said. That mirror advert Hillary has is quite brutal. We have all these girls and women (and boys and men) with body image problems and we have the nominee of their party saying these types of things...sad!

Peace
