#TRUMP ACCEPTS DEFEAT
TO #CLINTON AFTER #PRESIDENTIALDEBATE
Donald Trump said Tuesday Hillary Clinton failed to get under his skin during
the first presidential debate, except "maybe" after she brought up a
former Miss Universe winner who accused him of calling her derogatory names
after she gained weight.
And in a tweet Tuesday, he again lashed out at "Crooked
Hillary."
Alicia Machado, who was crowned Miss Universe in 1996,
accused Trump of pressuring her to lose weight and publicly shaming her in a New York Times story published in May. She later told the television program "Inside Edition"
Trump called her "Miss Piggy." Trump also called her "an eating
machine" on the Howard Stern Show, "Inside Edition" reported.
Trump, who had taken over the Miss Universe pageant shortly
before the 1996 contest, acknowledged to the Times he pushed Machado to
lose weight.
"She was the worst we ever had, the worst, the absolute
worst. She was impossible," Trump told "Fox & Friends" on
Tuesday, without mentioning Machado by name.
"She was the winner and, you know, she gained a massive
amount of weight and it was, it was a real problem," Trump said. "We
had a real problem. Not only that, her attitude."
Clinton mentioned the incident near the end of the debate
while discussing Trump's past name-calling of women.
Trump told "Fox & Friends" he felt he
performed best while discussing the issues of immigration, the police and law
and order, and international trade and jobs.
Asked what he would do differently in the next debate, Trump
said, "I may hit her harder in certain ways. You know, I really eased up
because I didn't want to hurt anybody's feelings, so I may hit her harder in
certain ways."
Earlier in the interview, he said he had considered bringing
up former President Bill Clinton 's infidelities, but chose not to
because he felt it was not the right thing to do and because Chelsea Clinton
was present.
As for the moderator, Trump said Lester Holt did
"really good" for the first half, but criticized the NBC News anchor
for bringing up a housing discrimination lawsuit the federal government brought
against Trump Management in the 1970s and for not directly questioning Clinton
about her email scandal or the fatal 2012 attack on a U.S. diplomatic mission
in Benghazi, Libya, that occurred while she was secretary of state.
Trump also speculated over whether someone had purposely set
up his microphone improperly.
"I had a problem with a microphone that didn't work. I
don't know if you saw that in the room, but my microphone was terrible. I
wonder was it set up that way on purpose?" he said.
"When I tested it, it was beautiful, like an hour
before I said what a great mic … It was much lower than [Clinton's]. I don't
want to believe in conspiracy theories, of course, but it was much lower than
hers, and it was crackling, and she didn't have that problem."
Most notably, CNN also reports that "CLINTON PUTS TRUMP ON DEFENCE AFTER DEBATE" It is almost imposible to think an aspirant like Trump can ever be on defence, but what is that cannot happen. Nothing is impossible after all!! More to come.
