Machado is far from being a “victim.” She wasn’t a victim in 1997 and she isn’t one now. She is an opportunist. She does whatever she gets paid for . . . including posing nude for (at least) Playboy, allegedly making porn films (I haven’t personally investigated this) and attempting to smear DJT’s character after being paid handsomely by HRC’s campaign. She’s even been working for the campaign![/quote]
Fox morning show, the morning after the debate, he said she was “a real problem” and “had gained an enormous amount of weight”. The three stooges hosts all cringed.
I don’t know that she was paid by the Clinton campaign. And neither do you. She has claimed that Trump never paid her what she earned as Miss Universe. There is no porn film. Nor any crime she’s been convicted of in Mexico that I can find. And what do those things have to do with blaming the victim? He called her Miss Piggy. He called her Miss Housekeeping. You think those are ok? Are there really mitigating circumstances that happen 20 years later? You’re really ok with Trump smearing her for being his victim of abuse? I guess you are, you don’t have any problem smearing her for being a victim. Or Hillary Clinton for having a cheating husband. Or probably rape victims.[/quote]zk, I did watch Cooper’s interview again where he fed her those two insults and asked her if DJT called her that. After a long pause, she said, “yes he did, all the time,” but she couldn’t come up with any witnesses who heard DJT say that “all the time” or at any time in the Kelly interview. I seriously doubt DJT and Machado were ever alone together for any significant period of time, lol. I just saw her at the end of the interview admit that her “daughter was born in the US and that’s why I’m here, now,” or something to that effect. That explains everything . . . she got her US citizenship based upon having an “anchor baby.”
She apparently didn’t end up being charged for driving a getaway car for her “boyfriend” who was committing a crime or the fact that she threatened a judge’s life in SA. But she ADMITTED TO ALL OF IT in the video.
Again, Machado was never a “victim.” Trump undoubtedly spent tens of thousands of dollars on her to help her slim down after she ballooned to 165+ lbs shortly after being crowned Miss Universe (and he had just purchased the franchise) and she was grateful to him for helping her at the time. Any other owner of the pageant would likely have just replaced her with the runner-up, as Trump should have. She used her former title to springboard herself into her nude Playboy spread and porn films.
One can’t expect to be a (beauty) pageant winner or model and continue to get jobs/engagements if they haven’t lived up to the job’s expectations . . . that is, the job they took on was based 90% on their “looks,” which they let go to ^&*%. That’s just how it is.
Machado isn’t going to get the sympathy of voters. They’re beyond fed up with the whiner/victim mentality that is so prevalent in the “PC culture” of today.
