Donald Trump latest's close-up is coming from the unlikeliest of magazines: Rolling Stone.
The magazine, well known for its progressive bent, interviewed and photographed Trump for its September 24 cover.
The article's most-talked-about passage on Wednesday was a Trump comment about rival Republican 2016 candidate Carly Fiorina.
Writer Paul Solotaroff was sitting with Trump watching a newscast when a video clip zoomed in on Fiorina.
"Look at that face! Would anyone vote for that?" Trump said to Solotaroff. "Can you imagine that, the face of our next president.
Trump added, "I mean, she's a woman, and I'm not s'posedta say bad things, but really, folks, come on. Are we serious?"

Trump will wiggle out of it the way he does everything else. By saying,
“oh, I love Carly”
“but she’s a horse face,”
“But like a nice Kentucky Derby horse face,”
“But not the winner, I’m the winner.”
“She’s a total loser,”
“But not the biggest loser”
“She’s okay in my book”
” but yecchh.”
I did not say “yuck,” Fox news is always making stuff up.
And the Trumpeteers will swoon over the man with the golden mane,
“he says what we think,” say they.
Answer: Because 2015 is an odd-numbered year
iCarly FioRino
“FAIL. Why to give the media the benefit of the doubt.”
In something as high profile as this...the odds of the media LYING and saying Trump said things Trump did not say are near zero. This isn’t a summary, but a direct quote - and yes, it IS the sort of thing Trump would say. Nor have I heard any denials yet, and Trump wouldn’t wait very long if RS was simply lying about the quote.
But I guess I don’t worship Trump as the 2nd coming of Jesus Christ - unlike many Trumpsters. I’m not willing to vote for him in a primary just because “He’s angry”...
Ahhh...I see you have been posting the same line ad nauseum. Very...impressive. Is that the limit of your rational thought?
There are tRUMP butt-kissers and there are tRUMP butt-kissers, but you’re the biggest tRUMP butt-kisser I’ve found here on FR. I’m afraid you’re going to have to have your lips surgically removed from tRUMP’s RUMP eventually.
The Donald doesn’t lash out this outrageously without some justification but in response to a real or relayed slur about his personal appearance. My guess , we will find that Ms Fiorina was the first insulter.
“In something as high profile as this...the odds of the media LYING and saying Trump said things Trump did not say are near zero.”
Why do you give the media, let alone RS, any undeserved credence? They’ve been intentionally biased and wrong before. They are a joke. I’d rather wait on the facts to get out, confirming or shooting the story down, along with Trump’s agreeing to it or denying it, and go from there, rather than relying on RS alone. Seems like an easy thing to do.
I think you’ve about nailed it. Remember the “blood coming out of her...whatever” comment on Megyn “The Assassin” Kelly?
It was beyond the pale, horrific, should sink him. Now it’s all in the past and done. Trump said if you think it meant anything, you are a deviant. Deflected.
In this recent “flap”, remember, Trump never said Carly was ugly. Every single person who knocks Trump over the comment is making that assumption. They become what they say they despise. Think Trump won’t point this out?
Look for Trump to turn this around on those who are going to try and hammer him with it. He waits, then says, “I don’t think it’s an honest face” and ties that in to a couple of examples of Carly duplicity, and attacks journalists who try to use PC as a weapon. For bonus points, he might say he respects her to the point that he thinks she can fight her own battles without having journalists attack for her.
Bing-bing-bing. The subject changes, and the cancer talk is an unintended bonus.
We’ll see, but I wouldn’t bet on Trump being sunk by this, not by a longshot.
Ahhh, then you don't see at all. I was typing the same reply (or deviations of it) to a bunch of FReeper comments that all seemed to be the same, presupposed to the fact that RS speaks the truth. They have made up stories before out of whole cloth (as we all should know by now), so why anyone would automatically believe what they have to say about something, anything, and RUN with it, is well beyond my understanding or patients. BTW, there is no “limit” to my “rational thought”. In the land of the blind, the one-eyed man is king.
I normally object to the term Ms since it's rooted in the extreme left feminist movement. I particularly hate it when an otherwise well-meaning FReeper uses it for Governor Sarah Palin.
But in this case of Carly FioRINO, Ms, it's apt and I applaud your use of that moniker for that evil woman. She's an anti-God abortionist and fits in well with the Betty Friedans and other atheistic commies.
Rolling Stone? IF Trump said this in front of a Reporter from that Liberal Rag—he shows his stupid side! Was he drunk? A liberal attack—I want to hear Trumps account of this—it doesn’t smell right to me.
I looked at a few of your recent posts and decided that if FR had a "follow" feature, I'd follow your posts -- especially after I saw this one. It was hilarious, but in a sad way. There are fewer and fewer FReepers worth following these days. It would be very helpful if FR had an ignore feature.
Pretty funny. This thread was almost entirely composed of FReepers believing what RS said about Trump, and then blasting him for it, or people who didn't believe what RS said about Trump (without the “worship” part you say), and then little ol’ me pointing out how those who did automatically believe what RS is saying about Trump (on the face of it, despite knowing their history) are wrong to do that. Their conveniently believing what RS said disappoints me.
So how can your takeaway on this thread be about “Trumpsters” and their worship of him? I didn't see that.
Trump doesn’t and has never drank. His oldest brother, Fred, died at the age of 48 from alcoholism, and he has never touched it because of this. we should never trust Rolling Stone.
Even worse was Trump's false allegations of rape against a group of young men at the U of Va... oh, wait, that was not him, it was Rolling Stone.
I'd prefer Trump to Fiorina -- as POTUS -- but it's the pot calling the kettle, well, whatever we're supposed to call it now, he's a lot of things, but physically attractive is not one of them.
[This is the same magazine that made up that UVA rape story isn’t it?]
That’s right. And how did that piece of manufactured journalism turn out? Many faces wearing egg masks.
Trump does love to bait. Sometimes it’s too easy, he says something and out come the enraged flying monkeys ready for assault. He laughs at them because they perform just as expected. It won’t help Carly if they all come flying to her defense in their outrage, I think Carly wants to ignore it—she knows that’s best. It should be interesting.
