From Correspondent Jeanne Moos

NEW YORK (CNN) -- When Alicia Machado of Venezuela was named Miss Universe nine months ago, no one could accuse her of being the size of the universe. But as her universe expanded, so did she, putting on nearly 60 pounds.

Indeed, the reigning Miss Universe learned the hard way that an extra 15 or 20 pounds can gain you a ton of publicity. But now she's determined to shed at least 15 pounds, though the loss of her Miss Universe crown is no longer an issue.

"Some people when they have pressure eat too much. Like me. Like Alicia," said Donald Trump, the executive producer of the Miss Universe Pageant.

Since winning the crown, the former Miss Venezuela went from 118 pounds to -- well -- a number that kept growing like the size of the fish that got away.

Mrs. Clinton is not even that good at lying anymore, her main skill set.

That fat cow probably started dating the drug kingpin to go on the cocaine diet.

He was gracious towards her and very positive.

Even when not running for political office.

Trump never called her “ fat”
Here is Trump’s 1997 press conference
He protects her and deflects press attacks on her
Quite a gentleman actually
She doesn’t seem upset with the fact he chose to not fire her but offers rehab to get her to a healthy weight

"I’m surprised that anyone living in Venezuela is able to put on weight these days." Yeah, for sure. You gotta pack in a lot of beans and rice to put on sixty pounds in nine months. That requires some serious intake 😜!

CNN is hypocritical. Donald Trump statement is very positive. CNN had all these pundits on this morning telling us what a evil sexist pig Donald is this morning. They knew it wasn’t true.

Wow, he was even nicer to her than I thought. He called her beautiful. She’s sitting right there.

Trump did defend her and worked to keep her.

He mocked the reporters for fat shaming her.

But Trump, as co-owner of rights to the pageant, said he would never let that happen. “We had a choice of: termination or do this,” he said. “We wanted to do this.”

“A lot of you folks have weight problems. I hate to tell you,” Trump told the rowdy pool of reporters.

Not Trump!
CNN!
