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 night’s 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 nominee’s 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.

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.

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.

Fri Sep 30, 2016, 12:47 PM

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.

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.

36. "Trump adviser in Florida resigns, citing discomfort with campaign 'direction'
Fri Sep 30, 2016, 01:59 PM
Sep 2016

"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.
