Donald Trump: Arianna Huffington unattractive, no wonder husband left her

In a continuation of Republicans' scorn against woman, Mitt Romney's buddy Donald Trump today stoops to a new low. He tweeted:

@ariannahuff is unattractive both inside and out. I fully understand why her former husband left her for a man- he made a good decision.

It was a situation similar to the former governor of NJ, except on the GOP side.

This entire article (2 pages), from 1998, is very instructive and well worth the read:

http://www.sfgate.com/news/article/Michael-Huffington-secret-unveiled-He-s-gay-3055315.php

WASHINGTON - Michael Huffington, the man who spent $28 million on a failed Senate candidacy in California, says now that he's glad he lost because it has allowed him to reveal a long-held personal secret: He's gay.
"I know now that my sexuality is part of who I am," Huffington is quoted as saying in an article by David Brock, a longtime friend, in the January issue of Esquire. He added, "I've been through a long process of finding out the truth about me."
Huffington, 51, was divorced last year from columnist and socialite Arianna Huffington. The article says he told his fiancee of his past homosexual activity before they were married.
Huffington, who lives in Los Angeles, sent word through Brock that he is not giving interviews....

Huge revelations in the article titled "Closets of Power" written over a decade ago. They stand in the wells of Congress and spew hate against not only other groups of people but their own group. There are people like them in every group that you can think of...Clarence Thomas, Allen West for example...only thing is they cannot hide their color.

Basically, these women have fleeced the fool for everything they can get, and who can blame them? I'm guessing just putting up with that shithead is difficult labor...I imagine the divorce decree and settlement feels like Christmas to them!!!

We know--and they know--and HE knows, in the wee, small hours of the morning--that if he were the stinky guy who rode on the back of the garbage truck instead of a fatcat real estate con-artist assclown who uses bankruptcy as a business tool, that, with his foul personality and raddled looks, he wouldn't be getting that kind of play. He's just an ugly--inside and out--small, mean, stupid and petty man. He'd still be paying for companionship, because that's the only way he can find anyone who can tolerate his boisterous, blowhardy ass. The companions might be women who walk the streets, but I imagine they'd do the same revulsion-stifling in order to earn their daily bread as the fatcat's wife and exes do.

I don't find Huffington ugly at all. She's not young anymore and isn't Playboy centerfold material. But she's a woman Trump couldn't even hope to get without spending lots of $$$$$.

As long as the GOP helps the greedy keep an ever-expanding portion of their income, they could eat puppies and kittens live, on mid-day TV press conferences, and they'd STILL get their support.

I intensely dislike what Arianna did to her contributors after she sold out her website, but Trump is being really unfair to her here, IMO, and to all women who take their marriages seriously.

Trump is implicitly sanctioning the notion of wife-as-gold-digger: to state the obvious, there is something very misogynistic about that.

But, after all, what does one expect from Donald Trump?

As with MOST Republicans, he can't argue with facts and figures, so he stoops to insults.

I used to be guilty of that myself, but then I started third grade and got over it!

Secondly, it is incredible to me the way men get away with insulting women's appearance, over and over again.

Or the way Republicans who have been married many times try to trash the morals of Democrats who have at least remained married to the same spouse for many years.

Plus, of course, as has already been pointed out, Mr. Huffington was a deeply closeted gay man who finally came out. I can't begin to imagine how painful that must have been for Arianna. I thought it was bad enough for me when my husband left me for another woman, but at least I didn't have to live out my divorce in the public arena.
