Shamed and Angry: The Beauty Contestant Donald Trump Mocked for Her Weight

For 20 years, Alicia Machado has lived with the agony of what Donald J. Trump did to her after she won the Miss Universe title: shame her, over and over, for gaining weight.
Private scolding was apparently insufficient. Mr. Trump, at the time an executive producer of the pageant, insisted on accompanying Ms. Machado, then a teenager, to a gym, where dozens of reporters and cameramen watched as she exercised.
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.
On Monday night, Hillary Clinton turned Ms. Machados pain into a potent political weapon on the biggest possible stage........................

(236 posts)This breaks my heart. I can feel Ms. Machado's pain and embarrassment.
I don't know how anyone with a daughter could ever support Trump's disgusting behavior.

(12,904 posts)Assface seemed to be very agitated by it. He says "Where'd you get that?"
Seemed very odd. Like Ms Clinton had uncovered something well-hidden.
Did anyone else think that was strange?

(7,570 posts)It was almost like he couldn't remember this latest outrage. It must be hard when you make everyone mad every single day.
Cracklin Charlie
(12,904 posts)He seemed shocked.
Frank Cannon
(7,570 posts)She was "Miss Universe ", in his own pageant, and he treated her like dog shit. I think that's the take-home message. I don't know if he hates women or just disrespects them, but I'm glad this information is coming out.
Cracklin Charlie
(12,904 posts)What did he do to her?
I do not like this guy.
Frank Cannon
(7,570 posts)That's how he feels about all women. That's how he feels about his opponent. He absolutely cannot fathom how a woman could be destroying him in his run for the Presidency right now.
He's an obvious misogynist and a serial, unapologetic philanderer. He is a disgusting relic of a pseudo-Playboy-1950s era that I'm not sure ever really existed.
Cracklin Charlie
(12,904 posts)I think the into introduction of Alicia stunned him.
And I think I may have figured out what is is...she has a name. She's not just some every woman "fat pig" type.
She's beautiful, Hispanic, and a winner! She won that pageant.
And, he treated her "deplorably". Yes, he did. Donald has behaved very badly, indeed.

(90,674 posts)It's kind of heartbreaking -- she was a breathtakingly beautiful young woman, and she was only 18 years old. She started to gain some weight, and he called her Miss Piggy and Miss Housekeeping, the latter because she is Latina. He continuously shamed her privately, then made it very public. She says it set her on a 5 year course of anorexia and bulimia.
There's more, but that's the essence.
As my husband said, Trump is a swine.

(9,527 posts)Clinton did hers so she both didn't get caught off guard, she was able to attack him from a variety of angles.

(6,855 posts)events, often get a little (or a lot) drunk and try to hit on a woman or two.
When rebuffed, the usual "lesbian!" or "bitch!" statement comes out as the lady walks away.
Because, you know, the woman can't simply be not interested in your drunk ass, there has to be something physically or mentally wrong with her, because you know, you are Rudolph Valentino and Gawd's gift to women.

(95,337 posts)These are women that value beauty above everything else - to the point of starvation and costly surgeries to obtain those goals. And many of these women will put up with ugly men as long as they are men that value money above all else and ensure these women are kept in a certain lifestyle.
You have to ask yourself this - would Trump land women like Ivana, Marla or Melenia if he was just your average joe working 9-5 making middle wage income (he would look exactly the same btw).
And would Trump marry a woman if that woman valued what she could contribute to the world over her appearance?

(7,570 posts)I put up a post this weekend satirizing the upcoming debates that also included some sexual language. It seemed like half of DU came unglued. It was alerted on, but it passed anyway.
Well, here, take a look. You tell me if it's so bad:
