Does Donald Trump Hate Fat People? 5 Times The GOP Candidate Body Shamed Women, Including Angelina Jolie And Rose O'Donnell
There was little new information uncovered in the presidential debate Monday night between Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump, but one topic once again reared its head: Trump's perceived antipathy for overweight people.
During the “Securing America” segment of the debate, Clinton stated that cyber security would be among the biggest challenges for the next president. The two candidates then went back and forth over who is the real enemy and Trump suggested that it could be an overweight person.
When discussing a security breach into the DNC, Trump openly addressed that there could be any number of culprits. "She's saying 'Russia, Russia, Russia.' Maybe it was. It could be Russia but it could be China, it could be lots of people. It could be somebody that sits on their bed that weighs 400 pounds. You don't know who broke into DNC."
Below are five times Trump has body shamed someone.
1. Rosie O’Donnell
While speaking with Megyn Kelly back in 2015, the Fox News host addressed Trump’s previous comments about women. She said, "You've called women you don't like 'fat pigs,' 'dogs,' ‘slobs' and 'disgusting animals.'" Trump replied, "Only Rosie O'Donnell."
Trump and O’Donnell have also attacked each other on Twitter.
2. Alicia Machado
In 1996, Machado was Miss Venezuela and took home the title of Miss Universe. Following her win, it is alleged that Trump continuously body shamed her privately and publicly. At the time, he was an executive producer of the pageant and had cameras accompany the then-18-year-old to the gym where she was taped exercising. Trump told the media, “This is somebody who likes to eat.”
During the debate, Clinton addressed her opponent’s treatment of the woman. She stated, “he called this woman ‘Miss Piggy.’ Then he called her ‘Ms. Housekeeping,’ because she was Latina.”
Trump has denied the claims.
3. Kim Kardashian
During a chat with radio show host Howard Stern back in 2013, Trump spoke about Kardashian who was on his television show, “The Apprentice.” He said, “Does she have a good body? No.” He continued, “Does she have a fat ass? Absolutely. And if it weren’t Kim, they’d say, ‘wow, I don’t want to go out with her.’”
4. Nicollette Sheridan
While rating women on a scale from one to 10, Trump told the radio host that the “Desperate Housewives” star was a “solid four.” He said, “I liked the way she used to look.” Trump added, “A person who is very flat-chested is very hard to be a 10.”
5. Angelina Jolie
When speaking about the Academy Award-winning actress, Trump told Howard Stern that he was not attracted to her. He said, “I don’t think she’s good-looking.” Trump continued, “I don’t know what it is. I never thought she was good-looking. I don’t think she’s got good skin. I don’t think she’s got a great face. I think her lips are too big, to be honest with you, they look like too big.”
