Lay off a woman's size, Trump
Katty Kay Presenter,
BBC World News
27 September 2016
Every man who has a sister, mother, wife, girlfriend or even a random female in their life who they've spent more than three minutes with knows that telling a woman they've gained weight is just never going to go down well.
Every man knows that, except, it seems, Donald Trump.
................................
...............................Why on earth was he allowed to go on morning TV and say former beauty pageant winner Alicia Machado had "gained a massive amount of weight. It was a real problem."
That, or, better, he should look in the mirror and have a long hard think about his obsession with the way women look. ...............

(7,178 posts)7. Wow! Alicia Machado is beautiful! Trump so stupido!
When I visited about two months after his lovely wife, Melania, now 46, gave birth to the couples son, Barron, now 10, the infamous germophobe boasted that after fathering five children, hed never changed a diaper.
I enthused that Melania, who stood quietly nearby aboard 5-inch stilettos, had lost all her baby weight. Trump corrected me: Shes almost lost all the baby weight.
I was embarrassed for the mother of his youngest kid, who ignored the dig. Trump staffers asked a photographer and me to put sterile cotton booties over our shoes so as not to sully the carpet. It was time to get the hell out of the loony bin.

(714 posts)8. Like all powerful egos, Trump's projects its own insecurities onto others
His ego may be constantly berating him for the extra weight he carries. From listening to his complaints about others, you can get an idea of how he really feels about himself. This is true for anybody.
