Trump just called Miss Universe fat again

[DesertRat]

The morning after Hillary Clinton confronted Donald Trump with his own words describing former Miss Universe winner Alicia Machado as "Miss Piggy," the Republican presidential candidate doubled down on his disparaging remarks by calling Machado's past weight gain a "real problem."

"She gained a massive amount of weight and it was a real problem," Trump said during an appearance on Fox News on Tuesday morning. "Not only that, her attitude, we had a real problem with her. So, Hillary went back into the years and she found this girl and talked about her like she was Mother Teresa, but it wasn't quite that way."

He went on to attribute Clinton's mention of Machado during the first presidential debate as an attempt to stay ahead in national polls.

Shortly after the debate wrapped up on Monday, the Clinton campaign released a web video featuring Machado where she described Trump as a frightening figure who routinely bullied her about her appearance. In one incident, Machado claims Trump once ambushed her with reporters who filmed her while she exercised—an experience she said left her scarred with eating disorders.
Machado announced that she recently became a US citizen and will be voting for Clinton this November.

1. The Machado thing clearly took him by total surprise. nt

2. Clearly

He actually leaned into the mic and said "Where did you find that?" I think he said it twice.

Kudos to her research team. Even we news junkies at DU or anywhere on the web didn't have that. Team Hillary kept that one locked up very well.

5. It was quite well known..

I saw videos about the exercise ambush. It was news when she became a US citizen 2 months or so ago.

7. Well I missed it

<-- first debate smilie

[DesertRat]

16. It's possible that Machado contacted Clinton. nt

[unblock]

6. "where did you find her? where did you find here? where did you find her?"

that was, like, wait, wut?

like he had her hidden somewhere? or he had her a gag order or settlement where she agreed to silence?
or he was trying to find her so that they could make sure she wouldn't talk?

i mean, what the hell kind of a reaction is that, "where did you find her?"

he was seriously unhinged.

13. He thinks he owns everything, especially women

And he's gotten by with it for far too long

[DesertRat]

15. It really put him on the defensive

He won't ever apologize, all he does is defend his actions, then goes on Fox to double down on his comments.

3. Hillary masterfully got under his skin.

She pressed all the right buttons.

Now he's going to spend the next week fuming and going on the defensive about things like this instead of going after Hillary.

Brilliant.

4. The fact that he stokes the fire himself is a testament to his stupidity.

Even when you're a misogynist pig you ought to have sense enough not to double down on the very thing that makes you look like one. But apparently he can't help it.

[KittyWampus]

9. the fact he's obese himself and yet still fat-shames...

his comment about "400 lb'er sitting on a bed hacking" or however he said it.

[nolabear]

11. What the everlasting f*** was THAT about? He was just word-surfing there.

He's tap-dancing like the fool he is.

[KittyWampus]

8. And he still can't REMEMBER HER NAME. That whole segment you can tell he couldn't remember.

Even after Clinton reminded him last night.

HE brought up Alicia Machado but couldn't remember he name.

10. He also went after Rosie last night. WA Post has this response: Trump an “orange anus.”

12. John King CNN is talking about his doubling down right now

with a panel that is tearing him to shreds without mercy

[spiderpig]

14. Didn't she win the title 20 years ago? He refers to her as a girl.

He is such a loathsome, hateful jerk.
