Donald Trump took shots at several of his fellow Republican presidential candidates in a Rolling Stone profile published on Wednesday, but its his comments about Carly Fiorinas physical appearance that are attracting the most attention....
Look at that face! he cries. Would anyone vote for that? Can you imagine that, the face of our next president?! The laughter grows halting and faint behind him. I mean, shes a woman, and Im not sposedta say bad things, but really, folks, come on. Are we serious?
Asked what she believes Trump meant by the comment about her face, Fiorina said I have no idea.
Honestly, Megyn, Im not going to spend a single cycle wondering what Donald Trump means. But maybe, just maybe, Im getting under his skin a little bit because I am climbing in the polls.
Fiorina was far from the only GOP contender that Trump mocked in the Rolling Stone article.
Moments before his comment about Fiorina, Trump and his aides appeared to joke about Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walkers mental acuity.....

Yuck. Still, I’m so sick of all the strange, round cheeks, duck lips and cat eyes. Even the men are doing this. All the rich older people are starting to look alike or at very least related. It’s just nice to see aged faces that haven’t been modified.
Doesn’t show much maturity!
I agree. With all that as ammo, Trump was a fool to attack her looks.
Grow up Donald, not acceptable.
As compared to...?
I support Cruz, Walker or Jindal.
Trump I never liked at all until this campaign. He has been doing great things in attacking the right people.
As far as trusting Trump, it would come down to who he associates with and specific plans.
I just shake my head daily, when I see so many Freepers being snookered by Trump. Seems they are okay with his apparent plan to govern by insults.
You never see Ted Cruz acting in this way. There is no substance to Trump. Just insults, soundbites, obnoxiousness, and loudness.
Isn't that presidential!!! /s
A man with a mug uglier than a mud fence should tread lightly when discussing other peoples’ faces. I think Carly is beautiful.
Her spine doesn’t look fine. She seems to display a bad case of scoliosis every time I see her. She needs to see a good chiropractor.
Good for him. I don’t.
To paraphrase John McEnroe, you cannot be serious.
I don’t think most of the public likes such cheap shots
As one who's pro-South, it took me a while to warm up to Donald Trump since his New York brashness isn't part of Dixie mannerisms. As much as I prefer the Southern culture with its politeness, I have increasingly come to the side of Donald Trump. He speaks his mind without a filter and says the right thing. The attack on Carly FioRINO is justified since she's an evil abortionist and a vile statist. Whatever it takes. Insults, invectives, ad hominem are all on the table if it serves to save the Republic.
I mention this point primarily for Freeper stalwart (and sports fan) dfwgator in relation to this issue. Think of Nolan Ryan. He was a truly superb pitcher, a Hall of Famer, the king of strikeouts and had a great career. Yet, in spite of his impressive accomplishments, what's most recalled by even a casual fan is when he pummeled Robin Ventura, 20 years younger.
I see Donald Trump in a similar way. He's fearless and will take the fight to the enemy -- using all means at his disposal.
That's the new Donald, the old Donald said this:
.....[Trump] considered [Hillary] an appealing candidate for president when it came to dealing with foreign nations. In another interview with CNN's Blitzer in 2007, he praised her ability to negotiate when asked if she could successfully work out a deal with Iran.
"Hillary's always surrounded herself with very good people. I think Hillary would do a good job," Trump said in another interview with Blitzer. .....
Trump in '04: 'I probably identify more as Democrat' [Well he was a registered Democrat from 2001 to 2009.]
In 2005:
"....It was the then-58-year-old Trumps third wedding. Before he got hitched to Slovenian former model Knauss, who was 34 at the time, he had been married first to Ivana Trump and then Marla Maples.
Clinton had a front-pew seat at the Episcopal Church of Bethesda-by-the-Sea in Palm Beach for the wedding on Jan. 22, 2005. People magazine said that the 450-person guest list included former New York City mayor Rudy Giuliani and media and entertainment personalities like Katie Couric, Matt Lauer, Simon Cowell, Regis Philbin, Kelly Ripa, Star Jones and Barbara Walters.
The fun really started after the ceremony in the ballrom at Trumps own Mar-a-Lago Club resort in Palm Beach. Bill Clinton showed up in time for a party that included performances by Billy Joel, Paul Anka and Tony Bennett. The reception also featured a 200-pound, 5-foot-tall wedding cake.
As for whether Trump contributed to the Clinton Foundation and Hillary Clintons senate campaigns, Trump has admitted as much.
"Im a businessman, I contribute to everybody," Trump told Fox & Friends on July 15. (PunditFact has found to be the case.) "Thats part of the problem with the system. I contribute to everybody. When I need Hillary, she was there. If I say go to my wedding, they go to my wedding. I contribute to everybody and you know what, thats part of the problem with our system."
Trump told the U.K.s Daily Mail in May that he had never gotten any favors for his donations to the Clintons, "but they do kiss my ass" to get that money. He also has called Hillary Clinton "the worst secretary of state in the history of the United States." Meanwhile, Bill Clinton told Jon Stewart a month later that The Donald had been "uncommonly nice to Hillary and me."...
Curbelo said Bill and Hillary Clinton were at Donald Trump's last wedding. Bill Clinton only made the reception, but Hillary Clinton did have a seat in the first row at the church in 2005. Both rubbed elbows with the stars at the reception..." Politifact
Insulting people to get laughs is "fearless?"
I like her before pictures better.
I am not a fan of plastic surgery. Just go with what God gave you, and don’t be ashamed to show the wisdom of your years.
I am surprised Trump failed to cherish, on this one. The blow back will boost Carly’s numbers by the weekend, and they will come out of Trumps handsome lead. He should apologize. Women are not going to appreciate what he evidently said. I’m sorry he said it.
I support the Trump who has his game face on, not this foolishness. Too much stuff out there of deadly serious magnitude.
I hope you have a VERY VERY long score card and/or a good eraser.
