Here Are Some of Donald Trump’s Most Disgustingly Sexist Remarks

Alicia Machado, winner of the 1996 Miss Universe pageant, was shamed by Donald Trump in 1997 for gaining weight. Machado recounts the horrible experience, which occurred when she was just a teenager. In addition to private scolding, Trump, the executive producer of the pageant, insisted on accompanying Alicia to the gym with an entourage of reporters and cameramen to watch her exercise. Trump posed for pictures with Machado as she exercised, stating to press that “This is somebody who likes to eat,” in an attempt to shame the contestant into shaping up, Trump enjoyed calling Machado “Miss Piggy”. As a result of this experience, Alicia suffered from eating disorders and psychological trauma.

In yet another disparaging remark directed toward a woman, Trump wrote about New York Times columnist Gail Collins, saying she had the “face of a dog.”
