In a phone interview with the Steve Harvey Morning Show Wednesday, President Barack Obama said that Donald Trump “basically insulted women and then doubled down” by bringing up a former Miss Universe’s weight in an post-debate interview.
“You had somebody who basically insulted women and then doubled down I think this morning in terms of how he talks about them and talks about their weight and talks about, you know, how they look instead of the content of their character and their capabilities,” Obama said, “which is not somebody that I want in the Oval Office.”
During Monday night’s presidential debate, Hillary Clinton pointed to Alicia Machado’s experience as Miss Universe, whose parent company Trump bought in 1996, as an example of Trump’s sexism. After Machado won the pageant in 1996, Trump made a public show of forcing her to lose weight.
Appearing on “Fox and Friends” Tuesday morning, Trump justified his 20-year-old behavior by saying that Machado “gained a massive amount of weight, and it was a real problem.”

Imagine if Trump wins. Every woman in his administration would have to look like a Fox News anchor. Buffed, painted and shined to a daily maximum brilliance or subject to brutal humiliation in front of fellow staffers for failure to do so.
Could we please have a constitutional amendment to allow Obama to have a third term? Please?
Yes, please keep making this about future generations. It’s a simple question: do you want your daughter(s) growing up in a country where it’s leader thinks who she is as a person is irrelevant and her breast size determines her worth?
The Orange Cheeto’s head is going to explode. First the Correspondents’ Dinner that precipitated the whole POTUS Trump circus, and now this?
Trump can’t take a punch and Obama is the Grand Master.
