Donald Trump called Alicia Machado ‘Miss Piggy’

NBC News reported that Donald Trump called Alicia Machado ‘Miss Piggy’ and ‘Miss Housekeeping’ after she won the title of Miss Universe. He reportedly said: “She gained a massive amount of weight, and it was a real problem.”

In 2016, during the first presidential debate, Hilary Clinton hit back at Donald Trump for his insulting remarks. Clinton said: “This is a man who has called women pigs, slobs and dogs and someone who has said pregnancy is an inconvenience to employers, who has said that women don’t deserve equal pay unless they do as good a job as men.”
