Donald Trump has been tweeting about a sex tape

Thankfully, his leathery hide does not feature in the sex tape in question.

Donald Trump has doubled down on his attack of Alicia Machado, a former Miss Universe who claims he called her ‘Miss Piggy’ for her weight-gain, and ‘Miss Housekeeping’ because of her Latina heritage.

In the first presidential debate on Monday, Hillary Clinton used Machado as an example of Donald Trump’s routine mistreatment of women. 

Instead of shying away from this abuse, Donald Trump has leaned into it, appearing on Fox and Friends to explain exactly why he had been so derogatory of Machado and why that was actually a totally okay thing to do.

Donald Trump continued his attack on Machado in the early hours of Friday morning, while most America was fast asleep.

This is a somewhat perplexing stance for Trump to take, given that his own wife Melania posed for some raunchy photo-shoots during her days as a successful model. Shaming a woman for having a sex tape seems like a strange move for someone who devoted so much time and energy to enjoying the female form by way of beauty pageants.

Trump also floated the interesting conspiracy theory that Alicia Machado became an American citizen simply so Hillary Clinton could use her in the debate.

The election is in 39 days, so we’re glad to see the Republican candidate is keeping himself focused on the most pressing issues facing America and the world.
