Donald Trump Offers A Blogger A Job Because Of Her Looks

Not The Onion!

http://www.vibe.com/2016/03/donald-trump-offers-woman-a-job/

During a press conference at one of his hotels, Republican presidential frontrunner Donald Trump audaciously brought a woman from the crowd on stage and offered her a job, because according to him “she’s got a great look.”

Maryland based freelance blogger Alicia Watkins was given clearance by the campaign to ask a question. When she was brought in front to do so, she reportedly asked Trump if he would bring in a veterans employment program at his new hotel in Washington.

After probing the GOP candidate, Trump brought Watkins, who is a 9/11 survivor, an Afghanistan and Iraq War veteran as well as a retired Air Force Staff sergeant, on stage and asked about her credentials According to The New York Post. “We need good people, so what’s your experience, in front of the world?” he questioned.

Trump then went onto to tell the press that he would offer her employment “If we can make a good deal on the salary, she’s probably going to have a job. She looks so smart. She asked a question and it was a very positive question. She looks like she’s got a great look.”

It was jaw dropping watching sleazy Trump publicly hitting on that woman in a crowded room filled with reporters and cameras. He didn't care how it looked when he called her up on stage and ogled her up and down like she was a piece of meat. She seemed nervous about being the center of attention, not for promoting her cause of vets issues, but just for her physical appearance.
