Trump Referring To Angelina Jolie: “She Is Not A Great Beauty”

When Kim Kardashian was pregnant in 2013, Trump said, “She’s gotten a little bit large. I don’t think you should dress like you weigh 120 pounds.”

It’s no secret that Trump has been known for saying very demeaning things about women, especially when it comes to their appearance.

So, here are just a few of the shocking things Trump has said about women — a reminder of how deeply sickening and unacceptable this rhetoric truly is.

1. In a 2007 interview on Larry King Live, Trump reportedly criticized Jolie’s appearance and personal life, saying, “Angelina Jolie is sort of amazing because everyone thinks she’s like this great beauty… but she’s not a beauty, by any stretch of the imagination. In terms of beauty, she’s not a great beauty.”

Trump went on to criticize her public persona and personal history during a separate interview on CNN’s The Situation Room with Wolf Blitzer. Trump was discussing Jolie’s humanitarian work and public persona, and criticized her by saying:, saying, “Now she’s like a representative of the United Nations and world peace on hunger and all of this crap… and she had just said she made love to Billy Bob Thornton in the back of the limousine on the way over. And I wouldn’t want to shake her hand, by the way.”

2. One of the most repulsive things that happened was in 2007 when Maxim magazine did a reader poll that named Sarah Jessica Parker the most “Unsexiest Woman Alive.” Agreeing with the magazine, Trump is reported to have echoed the sentiment in a Facebook post that publicly criticized her appearance.

Sarah expressed her feelings over this in an interview with Grazia magazine. She described the experience as “brutal,” stating, “It’s so brutal in a way, so filled with rage and anger.” Sarah also noted that the title affected her husband, actor Matthew Broderick, saying it “upset him because it has to do with his judgment too.” She questioned the standards used to determine attractiveness, remarking, “Do I have big fake boobs, Botox and big lips? No. Do I fit some ideals and standards of some men writing in a men’s magazine? Maybe not.”

3. In a 2004 interview with Howard Stern, Trump made a remark about Lindsay Lohan, saying that “deeply troubled” women are “always the best in bed,” according to a review of the interview by CNN’s KFile.

6. During a 2013 interview on Showbiz Tonight, Trump was asked what he thought about Kim Kardashian creating a baby shower registry even though she’s wealthy. His response? “She’s gotten a little bit large. I would say this: I don’t think you should dress like you weigh 120 pounds.”

Crazy Mika, along with Psycho Joe, came to Mar‑a‑Lago 3 nights in a row around New Year’s Eve, and insisted on joining me. She was bleeding badly from a face‑lift. I said no!”

Trump said this because he was upset with Rosie O’Donnell after she criticized his decision to let Miss USA Tara Conner keep her title even though she was caught up in personal scandals. She accused him of being a hypocrite because of his own messy history with affairs and bankruptcies.

Since then, Trump has also said Rosie is a “loser,” “fat pig,” “beast,” “mentally sick woman,” “bully,” “dummy”, and countless other insults.

Trump was recalling a moment during the 2018 Senate Judiciary Committee, when Kamala pressed Brett about reproductive rights, asking, “Can you think of any laws that give the government the power to make decisions about the male body?” After a noticeable pause, he said: “I’m not thinking of any right now, Senator.”

Trump has also called Kamala “extraordinarily nasty… nasty to a level that was just a horrible thing” and “the meanest, most horrible, most disrespectful of anybody in the U.S. Senate.”
