Donald Trump sure has a way with the ladies — not.
The Republican front-runner once again showed off his sexist side by
making derogatory remarks about rival candidate Carly Fiorina’s
appearance.
“Look at that face,” Trump said to Rolling Stone in a piece published Wednesday. “Would anyone vote for that?”
Despite saying he “cherishes” women, Trump has been blasted for his off-color jabs at the opposite sex while on the campaign trail.
Meanwhile, The Donald wrote wrote CNN President Jeff Zucker on Wednesday
to urge him to send the money the news network will pull in from ads
aired during the Sept. 16 GOP debate to groups that benefit veterans.
Trump's center-stage appearance in the first debate of the cycle last
month pulled a record 24 million viewers — which certainly didn't escape
The Donald's notice.
"Over the weekend, it was announced by numerous entertainment channels
and magazines that your ad rates have gone from $5,000 to $200,000, or a
4,000% increase. Since then I have heard your rates will go even
higher," Trump wrote.
"While I refuse to brag, and as you know every well, this tremendous
increase in viewer interest and advertising is due 100% to 'Donald J.
Trump," the mogul went on.
Wouldn't it be "wonderful," Trump wrote, if that money went to help the nation's vets?
"I am self-funding my campaign — I do not want money from lobbyists,
donors or special interest groups. Likewise, you should view the second
debate broadcast as a public service and not accept the massive profits
that this airing will generate," Trump wrote Zucker.
"I believe that all profits from this broadcast should go to various
VETERANS groups, a list of which I will send to you in the near future,"
Trump continued saying some would say vets "are treated like
third-class citizens — even worse, in many cases, than illegal
immigrants."
A CNN spokeswoman didn't immediately respond to a request for comment.
Trump has previously highlighted his pull when it comes to TV debates.
During a major rally in Mobile, Ala., he rhetorically questioned the
audience about what would happen if he refused to appear on stage for
the upcoming debate unless the hosts agreed to make a charitable
donation.
This isn't the first time Trump has mixed politics and charity — he
famously promised to make a sizeable donation in exchange for President
Obama's birth certificate at a time when he was publicly questioning
whether the commander-in-chief was, as he said, born in Hawaii rather
than outside the U.S.
