Heidi Klum hits back at Donald Trump after 'no longer a 10' comment

With not much more than a gasp and a shrug, supermodel Heidi Klum has hit back at Donald Trump after the Republican frontrunner declared her no longer a “10”.
Trump told the New York Times the supermodel’s looks were fading in a discussion about the fact that he sometimes goes “a little bit far”. “Heidi Klum. Sadly, she’s no longer a 10,” the businessman and TV star said.
Klum responded on Monday with a 12-second video posted to her Twitter and Instagram pages.
In the video, Klum poses for a photographer in a cut-off white T-shirt that says “10”. A man in a Trump mask rips off the “10”, revealing “9.99”, and everyone gasps.

Not to mention that she was never a 10 to begin with Donald.

True. She was a 12 at least.

To show how connected to popular culture I am, I don't even know who Heidi Klum is. Couldn't tell you what she looks like.

Glad somebody likes her. Could never figure out what all the fuss was about.

I am another who doesn't know who she is - but be that as it may, what other Republican candidate (and those not running) can get away with saying such a thing publicly about any woman?    The NOW gang would be screaming their heads off.   But silence from the Left.

Because they know it is useless and Trump for president is just a bad joke.

This kind of stuff helps him.  Trump is a pop icon and is running as a pop culture icon.  He brings in the people who know who the hell Heidi Klum is.

Otherwise known as "useless information voters" or maybe too much information voters".

Good point. We forget Trump is the PT Barnum of our age. He knows his PR.

Was it you who mentioned Trump is running this just like a reality show?

Yep.  To whatever extent he can coarsen the Republican primary and lower its importance and prestige, it will work to his advantage.

Uh-huh.

What did a rookie Senator, Barack Obama, know with only 140 days on the job?  Or an Arkansas Governor Bill Clinton back in 1992?

All presidential candidates are short on foreign policy expertise, working with budgets, departments...oh that's right, Trump DOES know about running things doesn't he?   :whistle:

I want to clear up a couple things while we're at it.

Trump registered for the draft; he's not a draft dodger as some here have misstated.

Trump is a business success; with ownership of over 700 companies, only four of Trump's companies went into bankruptcy like 25 years ago; in Atlantic City other major casinos went belly up during that same time – it was the economy stupid.

People say just about anything to smear him.

It doesn't make him psychologically fit to be president.  I'd be OK with him if he had only just served a short time as Treasury Secretary or something and handled it well.  Plus he needs to act like a grown-up.  To me it's important in a man who is to be given such world-wide importance.

I wouldn't underestimate him.  Not supporting him, mind you, but definitely not underestimating Trump.  Everything Trump has accomplished so far has been highly improbable.

So we want someone from outside the Beltway---but not really.  Right?
