Trump’s Latest Repulsive Attack On Alicia Machado: ‘Check Out Sex Tape’
Source: Huffington Post
Donald Trump ramped up his feud with former Miss Universe Alicia Machado on Friday, calling her disgusting and accusing her of having a sex tape.
Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton referenced Machado in Monday nights presidential debate. Machado, who is from Venezuela, said that Trump bullied her after she gained weight, calling her Miss Piggy and an eating machine. She then appeared in an ad for Clinton, revealing more details about the GOP nominees fat-shaming.
Trump lashed out at Machado after the ad went viral, telling Fox and Friends on Tuesday that she was the worst [Miss Universe] we ever had. She was impossible. He doubled down on Wednesday, claiming that he was actually helping Machado by bullying her because Miss Universe officials wanted to fire her for gaining weight. Trump campaign manager Kellyanne Conway continued to push that narrative on Thursday.
But then Friday rolled around, and Trump continued to take aim at the former beauty queen, telling Twitter users to check out [her] sex tape and alleging that Clinton helped her get U.S. citizenship in exchange for the campaign ad.

Just imagine life under a Trump regime and how he would treat those who dare to question him.

(783 posts)Epstein was allegedly in the habit of arranging entertainment for others including Trump. Often people who do that sort of thing, or people in their employ, make tapes. Release of a tape like that might be fortuitous if such a thing exists.

It surprises me more commentators haven't picked up on HRC's line in the debate about all the crazy stuff Trump says. She wasn't being rhetorical.

While yes, snorting coke and watching porn.

(9,213 posts)this is absolutely priceless for the Clinton campaign, and is brilliant. A month before the election and a terrible debate performance and Clinton has Trump having a twitter war with someone he insulted 20 years ago rather than talking about any issues or trying to do better at the next debate, and he fell for it all hook line and sinker.

(6,241 posts)is tweeting about this kind of BS?! Are you F'ing kidding me?! This is terrible, seriously. Gone are the days of Eisenhower and Kennedy. Now it's Jerry Springer and the Kardashians. Who's going to run next time? An actual Kardashian? I honestly don't see how things could get lower than what we have this time.
I'M WITH HER.

(2,322 posts)...Trump finds a way drop the election to an even lower level. He's a frigging savant at lowering the bar. And it seems like if he hears you say "I don't know how it could get lower..." he takes it as a challenge and goes for it.

(6,241 posts)Now, hear me out before you make any snap decisions. I know he's got some bad press, but the fact that he's dead shouldn't be an issue..."

(5,969 posts)but I fully agreed with it. To paraphrase: We should appreciate what a pro Hillary and the Dem campaign in general is. She patiently waited for the end of the debate to hit him hard with this issue. It took him totally by surprise while Hillary had it planned possibly weeks in advance. Right after that hit, the professional ads with Machado detailing Trump's disgusting behaviour are made public. Again, they were probably made weeks in advance. Not only that, Trump got baited into digging deeper and deeper. It is Friday now and he still can't let it go.
Hillary got him, and Trump got suckered into keeping the story alive. That is some temperament and judgement. He is used to intimidate and bully other people, it's the story of his life, and he doesn't know how to deal with the fact that he can't push Hillary around.

(2,322 posts)This is a man always surrounded by beauty queens. How could he not have the perv vote in his pocket from day one? That and the racist vote were a given from from the start.
Beacool
(30,518 posts)Just like in rape cases, the victim's background should not matter. It still doesn't negate what he said and did. Ms. Machado is only one of many women he has bashed over the years. Trump at heart is a misogynist. He treats women as commodities and only respects those who don't criticize him or meet his beauty standard. The rest he trashes. He is a vile man.

(6,881 posts)"A Donald Trump aide in Florida resigned over concerns she has with the direction of the campaign, according to Bloomberg.
It is clear the campaign is now going in a direction I am no longer comfortable with and I have decided to move on, Healy Baumgardner, a longtime GOP operative, told Bloomberg on Friday. She resigned on Monday.
Story Continued Below
The resignation follows a series of late-night tweets from Trump's account directed at former Miss Universe Alicia Machado, whose story of insulting treatment by Trump was cited by Hillary Clinton in Monday's presidential debate."
Politico is all over this story and they are pretty much establishment conservative.
