Watch the faces of the three Fox News anchors as Trump doubles-down on fat-shaming Miss Universe

This is amazing. Trump shows up on Fox news this morning to talk about the debate. They throw him a softball question about how Hillary was trying to get under his skin, and then Trump brings up Miss Universe and proceeds to dig himself into this deep, deep hole. The looks on their faces are priceless. Please stop talking. Please stop talking...

This was a brilliant, coordinated trap that Trump stumbled right into--just as they thought he would. Machado wasn't blindsided by this. She had a press call waiting to go. Come on...they knew EXACTLY what they were doing.

I saw Ms. Machado in an interview today where she said she was surprised that she would be brought up in a Presidential debate, but if it helped Hillary beat trump she would be glad. Which I thought showed she didn't know but was magnanimous in her spirit. And I definitely think the campaign did EXACTLY know what they were doing to trap trump. I think Mrs. Clinton always knows EXACTLY what she is doing. That's why many of us EXACTLY love her. I am just not so sure of the bait used this time. SERIOUSLY!

As beautiful as she ever was and very well spoken. The point is things that hurt you viciously at 18 still hurt at 38. I feel bad if she has been waiting 20 years for "payback" (for her sake only, that is a large ball to carry in your stomach). But if she has been, it just goes to show that things that hurt you at 18 still hurt at 38. And again, I realize that Hillary plans everything. She's an excellent planner, believe me. I am not so sure Ms. Machado was in on the planning, as per her interview when she said she was surprised she came up in a Presidential campaign. However, I support Hillary. See she set a great trap for trump to crawl into.. I get it. I get it..

since sometime last summer, and that she had conducted an interview that was embargoed until after the debate. What surprised her, I think, was Trump's jackass reaction. She probably shouldn't have been, given how despicable Trump is. The poor woman said today that she's never completely gotten over Trump's horrific treatment of her. What a vile piece of work. Have a good evening!

Interesting, too - Andrea Mitchell is on, from the campaign bus, commenting on last night, and he stunk up the joint too badly EVEN FOR HER!!! Madame "Accentuate the Negative about Hillary" had very little in terms of negative to accentuate, regarding how Hillary did last night.
