She told The New York Times earlier this year, “I was about to cry in that moment with all the cameras there. Trump invited reporters to observe Machado exercising, against her protests. Machado remembers him calling her “Miss Piggy” because she gained weight and “Miss Housekeeping” because she’s Latina. Hillary Clinton famously invoked Trump’s treatment of Machado during the first presidential debate. The first Miss Universe crowned on Trump’s watch was Miss Venezuela, Alicia Machado. “They had a person that was extremely proud that a number of the women had become doctors,” Trump said.
