Trump Called Pregnant Melania A ‘Monster’ And A ‘Blimp’

Source: Huffington Post

WASHINGTON ― Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump called his then-pregnant wife, Melania Trump, a “monster” during an appearance on Howard Stern’s radio show in 2005.

He also described his wife as a “blimp” during the interview, which apparently took place just months after Trump had made lewd comments about groping women and pursing a married woman. He had married Melania, his third wife, earlier that year.

“You know, they just blow up, right?” Trump said of his pregnant wife in December 2005, according to a report by SF Gate.

“Like a blimp — in the right places. In her case, the right places. I mean she really has become a monster — in all the right places,” Trump told Stern. “I mean monster in the most positive way. She has gotten very, very large — in all the right places.”

I know Stern is a first-order creep in his own right but he's being very quiet about this whole thing.

You can add hosts like Larry King to the list as well. Both he and Stern have interviewed Trump many times over the years. It became a symbiotic relationship. He needed the attention and they were crafty enough to break down his superficial exterior to uncover how egotistical, ruthless, and uncouth he is, which of course helped to increase the ratings for their shows.

and gets paid well for it. People line up to see him. He gets applauded for incredible misogyny and making fun of the disabled/fat/unbeautiful, yet when he does it it's funny. When Trump does it it's roundly deplored. I can't stand Trump, but the hypocrisy is mind blowing.

He's not quiet about it at all...he talks about it on his show and just laughs at all the stupid stuff Trump said. Stern is a Clinton supporter and he actually has a very realistic view of the world and how it works.

I'm pretty sure he knows a lot of what Donald says on his show disqualifies him for President.
