You said: "Trump thinks 12 year old Hilton is hot."
The author said: "This from the man who looked at a twelve year old Paris Hilton and thought, that’s hot."
The article quotes Trump as saying she was "beautiful" (at 12) and "hot[ter]" when she was roughly 24 (with no indication that "hotter" relates to when she was 12).
He sure wasn't saying you have a beautiful daughter as a polite compliment. Imagine the scene. Who the hell is that! He was sizing her up and saying of course at twelve he wasn't interested. Just to have mentioned it shows the difference between polite beautiful daughter and if she wasn't twelve I would be interested. BTW that is very close to what he said about his own daughter. If she wasn't his daughter he might be dating her.
“I’ve known Paris Hilton from the time she’s twelve, her parents are friends of mine,” he added. “And the first time I saw her she walked into the room and I said, ‘Who the hell is that?’ At twelve, I wasn’t interested…but she was beautiful.
I think Trump was definitely looking at the then 12-year-old Paris Hilton as a sexual object even if recognizing that at 12-years-old, he wouldn’t be or shouldn't admit to being “interested”.
But for context, in the Howard Stern show appearance Trump and Stern were discussing the “hotness” of various women and whether or not Trump would “bang” them, if they were “bangable” or not.
Trump tells Stern that one of the women he thought was very beautiful (and again in context, on the hotness and on the bang worthy scale) was Paris Hilton, then age 22.
Trump - “I've known Paris Hilton from the time she's 12.”
Stern - “She’s hot.”
Trump - “Her parents are friends of mine and the first time I saw her she walked into a room and I said, ‘Who the hell is that?”
Stern - “Did you want to bang her?”
Trump – “She's a very ... Well, at 12 I wasn't interested. I've never been into that. They've sort of always stuck around that 25 category.”
Imagine you have a friend over to your house and your 12-year-old (TWELVE) daughter walks into the room and your friend and guest says to you “Who the hell is that? Wow she is beautiful but since she’s only 12 I’m not really interested, but she is beautiful”.
Do you respond by saying?:
A - I think so too and in fact if she wasn’t my daughter I might be dating her. (As Trump has said of Ivanka on several occasions.)
B - Yes, but it’s too early to tell if she inherited her mother’s big boobs. (As Trump said of his then infant daughter Tiffany, wondering if his daughter will inherit Marla’s ample cleavage.)
C- Get the hell out of my house you pervert before I punch you in the face!
As to Trump and Melania watching the Paris Hilton sex tape Trump said:
“I think it's probably unfortunate and it made Paris hotter in terms of the world because the world is so screwed up,” Trump explained, before comparing the heiress' situation to actor Hugh Grant’s 1995 scandal involving a prostitute. “I mean, you think a thing like that is going to destroy, like Hugh Grant who I love. I think he's great. He's a member of my golf club. You would have think he would have been destroyed by what happened to him and he's the biggest star now than he ever was, so you never know what happens but I think it probably made Paris even better.”
So in Trump’s opinion, Paris Hilton’s sex tape made her even better and ended up being a good career move for her. Machado’s? Not so much.
Not to mention that Trump lied about there being a “sex tape” of Machado.
http://www.snopes.com/alicia-machado-adult-star/And Trump can’t really criticize Machado for posing topless in Playboy, can he, since he seems to love Playboy and even appeared as himself in one of their videos and on the cover of the mag.
I also don’t think Machado ever did full frontal nudity nor posed for a nude lesbian themed photo shoot like say Trump’s current wife.
