Please read 9 paragraphs after the part about Machado to get to these paragraphs
__________________________________________________________________________________
Beyond his brutal public campaign to fat-shame Machado, Trump has long history of targeting and humiliating people for their weight. He told Barbara Res, an overweight female executive supervising the construction of his headquarters, You like your candy. Res said he also referred to a city official only as the fat fuck and taunted a lawyer over his weight.
Another former employee said Trump would tell her she looked much better thin, and kept a fat picture of her in his desk to remind her.
In 2003, Trump and radio shock-jock Howard Stern debated whether actress Jennifer Lopezs derriere was too big. Trump also told Stern in 2013 that Kim Kardashian has a fat ass.
A producer for Trumps reality TV show said the boss liked to keep a funny fat guy around because it was good for ratings.
Trump continues fat-shaming on the campaign trail. Last November, Trumps target was a heckler who protested the candidates position on the government nutrition assistance program. You know, its amazing, Trump told the crowd. I mention food stamps and that guy whos seriously overweight went crazy. He went crazy.

protecting her because she would eat the check? She broke the contract by gaining weight, so she still had to do the work, but for no pay?
Every day more stuff comes out about this guy being even more of a lowlife scumbag.

should auction a few off and use the proceeds to go into production. I would love to see them everywhere that morbidly obese chauvinist pig speaks.
Hell, I'd bid. I'd have to put a diaper on it to avoid running afoul of the local prudes, but it would make a great lawn ornament.

over it.
Damn. The tweets from the Big Cheeto reacting to that would have kept us laughing for a week.

How can that fat, flabby, bloated pig think that he has the right to criticize ANYBODY for their physical appearance? He's such a disgusting piece of shit.
