This is an actual tweet from Donald Trump sent early this morning.
Did Crooked Hillary help disgusting (check out sex tape and past) Alicia M become a U.S. citizen so she could use her in the debate?
Not a parody account. The real thing.
How is this possible?
How can a person who is a major party nominee for president send out a tweet like this?
His campaign manager, Kelly Ann Conway, just went on tv a week ago and said: "He doesn't hurl personal insults."
How is this happening? How is this real? How is he not losing every state by 10-20 points?

(13,776 posts)Seriously?
How have I not heard this? I guess because it's so wildly inappropriate a topic for the public airwaves that the MSM can't even mention it. And yet I am not surprised that this nominee has gone on air to discuss anal sex (I'm not a prude but good grief, some things should be kept to oneself) and has gotten away with something that would have finished off any serious political candidate.

(17,865 posts)but Trump went along and said he was not into it. The clip is out there.
I remember when Clinton took grief over boxers vs. briefs. The world has become a very strange place.

He is a sick man.

(58,724 posts)Rather than tweeting about, say, the Peres funeral (which was happening live at that time), or the massive transit accident in New Jersey, he decided to go with this.
It boggles the mind.

It he were President, he would not accept advice, would not study important issues, etc.

For some reason, he thought this wouldn't come out.

Donald Trump is an idiot.

Delusional hubris on a level almost unprecedented in the public square. This is becoming Shakespearean.
nolabear
(41,990 posts)He was so flummoxed about the fact that they had that info, as if it was hidden. IS there something they have yet to reel out? Oh, I DO hope so. 😄
Cracklin Charlie
(12,904 posts)Sorry, but I am fascinated by this story.
He was clearly stunned at the mention of her name. Had he forgotten about her? Did he treat her so badly that he thought she would never speak out? Did he think his opponent wouldn't "go there" for some reason?
I just don't get why the mention of her story hit him like a ton of bricks.
Loved seeing it happen, but there's got to be a reason for his reaction.
PJMcK
(22,040 posts)Donald Trump is a fool. He wrote about Ms. Machado in one of his books where he criticized her. Some secret, Donnie. It's not as if this was one of the events he could hide behind one of his non-disclosure agreements.
If you can, watch that segment of the debate; it's in the final 10 minutes, I think. Mr. Trump comes unglued when Hillary Clinton brings up the story. It's wonderful to see him sputtering!
Cracklin Charlie
(12,904 posts)His knees practically buckled.
He had to have thought he was safe from Alicia. I just would like to know why.
Justice
(7,188 posts)Hillary said wrong to call a woman horrible sexist, racist names and publicly shame her. Hillary never put Alicia on a pedestal - just wanted to have her be treated with dignity.
Trump is insulting Alicia all over again by mocking her for not being paragon of virtue or an angel (therefore no right to object to his insults).

Howard may know something more about this cocaine usage than he is saying right now.

Miles Archer
(18,837 posts)In the Snopes article, it discusses how Pornhub...and other sites...took existing porn footage of Angel Dark and re-labeled it to falsely state that is was Ms. Machado.
He just gets away with this crap. No one calls him on it, and of by chance someone does, he or his surrogates say "I didn't say that" and they just tuck their tails between their legs and scamper away.
I don't have an answer for all of this. There is so much out there as a matter of public record on this prick and none of it seems to matter.

(5,648 posts)If you google "Alicia Machado sex tape" you will come up with a lot of hits from porn sites. However, Alicia Machado did not appear in them. The tapes in question actually feature porn star Angel Dark who looks like Alicia. Evidently, sleezey porn star site operators relabeled the tapes with Alicia name to bring in more business for their sites.
