So 20 years ago he said something about somebody's weight and the media is going to focus on this? Of course they are. This is exactly why so many people are fed up with the establishment politicians and the establishment media. Their bias is so obvious they can't even be taken seriously.

He addressed a weight issue of someone who got paid because of their looks, and used that to call attention to an educational program addressing healthy lifestyle choices...
What a monster!
What a monster!

Trump's America: No fat chicks - CNN.com
Back in 1997, Trump was the Miss Universe pageant's executive producer, and when the holder of the crown put on a few pounds he demanded that she diet and exercise until she again fit his ideal aesthetic. He ambushed her at the gym with reporters and photographers in tow, a humiliation Machado says has followed her all her life since.
But even though Trump intentionally demeaned Machado, a teenage girl back then, there was no significant media backlash. As happened with so many of his other decisions, Trump saw no consequences.

Where is the outrage that HRC said that a 14 year old girl wanted to have sex with an older man, to get the sick creep she was defending off. I see her commercials about helping the children and I call Bullshit. Nothing Trump has ever done is as low as telling a child she was asking for it when they are sexually assaulted. Fuck that bitch!

Nearly 20 Mins on Trump’s ‘Miss Piggy’ Remark, Silence on Clinton Chief of Staff Immunity
Once again, ABC, CBS and NBC have ignored a major news story that could be embarrassing to Hillary Clinton and have national implications, while promoting a negative (and trivial) Trump story initially pushed by the Clinton campaign.
On September 23, news broke that during the now-infamous investigation into Clinton’s emails, the FBI granted Clinton’s former chief of staff Cheryl Mills immunity. House Oversight Chairman Jason Chaffetz called Mills’s immunity “beyond explanation,” adding that “the FBI was handing out immunity agreements like candy.” Yet, neither ABC, CBS nor NBC ever even mentioned this story once.
But the same networks that have failed to cover the Mills story since it broke on September 23 were quick to devote a full 19 minutes and 40 seconds to the controversy over Trump allegedly calling a former Miss Universe “Miss Piggy” and “Miss Housekeeping.” The networks began covering this 20-year-old incident after Clinton brought it up in her remarks during the debate on Monday night, and then exponentially increased their coverage when Trump attempted to defend himself on Fox News’s Fox & Friends on the morning of September 27.

The problem is TRUMP won't stop focusing on this.
He is pathologically incapable of allowing any verbal attack on his character, no matter how small or irrelevant, go unchallenged.
He's squandering all of his pre-debate momentum.
