鈥楳iss Piggy鈥 a problem for Trump
Print Edition
DONALD Trump says it was a “real problem” when the 1996 Miss Universe gained weight after winning the pageant he then owned.
He was responding to Hillary Clinton’s reference in their debate to Alicia Machado’s claim Trump called her “Miss Piggy.”
Trump challenged Clinton over where she had heard that, then dismissed Clinton’s comment Machado would vote for her with “OK, good.”
Trump told “Fox and Friends” yesterday Machado was “the worst we ever had.” He added: “She gained a massive amount of weight. It was a real problem. We had a real problem.”
Machado went on a diet in 1997 after saying she gained at least 15 pounds. Trump said during Machado’s workout in front of the media that “she likes to eat — like all of us” and supported her efforts.
Clinton also said Trump referred to the Venezuela-born Machado as “Miss Housekeeping.”
Machado, who recently became a US citizen, voiced the accusations of name-calling herself in a video released by the Clinton campaign following the debate.
She tweeted her thanks to Clinton, writing in Spanish: “Thanks Mrs Hillary Clinton. Your respect for women and our differences makes you great. I’m with you.”
Machado also posted a selfie of her holding a US passport on Twitter along with a message: “I received my passport ! I’m ready to vote For my country for you
@HillaryClinton for my daughter For women workers.”
Machado appeared in June at a Virginia news conference hosted by two immigrant advocacy groups to encourage Latino voters to support Clinton.
In July, the former beauty queen lent her name in support of housekeepers. She attended a Domestics Workers Assembly in South Florida, an event organized to push for a bill of rights for domestic workers in the Florida state legislature.
