Alicia Machado was born in Venezuela, crowned Miss Universe in 1996, and became a citizen this year so that she can vote for Hillary Clinton for president.

Donald Trump, the Republican presidential candidate, owned the pageant while Machado was Miss Universe. She said he called her "Miss Housekeeping" and "Miss Piggy" after she gained weight.

Machado told the Washington Post that she had starved herself before the pageant, and reached a healthy weight after she won.
. . .

Since winning Miss Universe, Machado has become a successful actress, singer, model, and businesswoman. She was nominated for a Grammy, has launched her own fashion line, and appeared on over 100 magazine covers, according to her website.

Machado became a US citizen in August, and has been campaigning for Clinton.

"Thank you Mrs. Clinton for your respect for women," Machado tweeted in Spanish after the debate Monday night. "I am with you!"

1. Her beauty on the outside is nothing compared to her inner beauty. She has determination.

3. Seems like a very strong woman.

Just like the fabulous Miss Piggy!

What do ya wanna bet Assface thought she was some little mouse-y creature that he had totally demoralized?

Hi-yaaah!

2. From the video of Trump shaming her,in front of the press, her weight gain was NOT as he said

His saying she gained over 50 lbs probably translates closer to 10, in the real world.

But it doesn't matter how much weight she gained - every photo of her is stunning, no matter what her weight.

Interesting, though, that his standards for women veer so sharply from what is, apparently, his standard for men like himself.
