‘The Trump Rule’: Leaked Audio of Trump Ogling Miss USA Beauty Queens

Trump would, according to testimony by former contestants and audio first obtained by TMZ, engage in a troubling practice while overseeing the Miss USA pageant. Dubbed “The Trump Rule,” the ex-reality host would oversee a pre-screening of the Miss USA contestants in revealing outfits and play his own personal game of Hot or Not, dividing the women into groups. He’d then demand that each beauty contestant name another contestant they felt was the most beautiful, and separate the contestants accordingly.

In the audio, first obtained by TMZ, Trump is heard salivating over the Miss USA 2009 contestants during a pre-screening. He orders them around by name, ogling them. He utters the word “beautiful” over two dozen times.

“West Virginia, West Virginia—get over here. Beautiful,” utters Trump. “I knew a girl from West Virginia once—she drove me crazy…I loved her. She had no makeup, no nothing. They didn’t know about makeup. You know, in West Virginia, they didn’t know about makeup, they didn’t know about cellulite. Just beautiful.”

Trump is then heard explaining “The Trump Rule”—and implementing it.

“As I told you, many of you have already been chosen—so it doesn’t even matter. But as the Miss Universe Organization and the Miss USA Organization, we get to choose a certain number,” he said. “You know why we do that? Because years ago when I first bought it, we chose ten people—I chose none. And I get here, and the most beautiful people were never chosen! And I went nuts!”

“So we call it ‘The Trump Rule,’” he added. “It’s called The Trump Rule—and we get to choose.”

At the NY Military Academy Playboy was how they learned about women. One of the reporters on the documentary said that he thought of himself as Clint Eastwood, James Bond, and Hefner.

who is a cultural revolutionary in many ways, who supported civil rights and women's rights, and challenged conservative America's outdated views on sexuality, race, gender, orientation, etc.
