​Another disturbing story from Donald Trump's past has emerged. ​The New York Times ​reported Trump once called a lawyer "disgusting" when she asked to breast pump for her newborn baby. In 2011, Elizabeth Beck was deposing Trump in a lawsuit that involved a real estate project in Florida. Beck, who had a 3-month-old daughter at home at the time, realized she needed to take a break and pump milk. Trump, who called her questions during the deposition "stupid," took issue with the request. When Beck took out her pump, Trump reportedly became irrate.

"You're disgusting,"​ he said. (According to ​The New York Times, ​neither side disputes that was what was said).
In an interview with CNN on Wednesday, Beck elaborated on the encounter. "He got up, his face got red, he shook his finger at me and he screamed, 'You're disgusting, you're disgusting,' and he ran out of there," she said. Trump also appeared on CNN to respond to the story. Trump said he was upset because he believed she wanted to breast pump in front of him. "She wanted to breast pump in front of me and I may have said that's disgusting," he said. "I may have said something else. I thought it was terrible."​


Trump also disputed that he had an angry outburst over the incident. "She's saying, 'Oh, he was so violent and he was so, so wild and she was afraid,'" he said. "She was afraid of nobody. She's a tough killer in Miami. Everyone knows she's a killer. They all hate her." To recap, Donald Trump, a presidential candidate polling number one among Republicans, thinks it is "terrible" for a woman to have a breast pump and take a break because she's lactating and needs to help feed her baby. But considering the many disturbing and awful things he has said so far, this should surprise no one.

On June 16, Trump said Mexico was sending the U.S. its "rapists and criminals," prompting a massive backlash from celebrities and corporate partners who quickly cut ties with him. On Monday, reports surfaced that Trump's ex-wife Ivana Trump reportedly used the word "rape" to describe a sexual encounter with him that left her feeling "violated." Trump's lawyer responded to the reports by saying "you can't rape your spouse​," a comment the lawyer later apologized for.
