This is especially powerful, coming from a pageant contestant. Donald Trump was the owner of the Miss USA pageant organization from 1996 until 2015. During his time as owner, contestants said that he walked in on the contestants when they were changing, in various states of undress; an allegation he admitted to in a 2005 interview on Howard Stern. "I'll go backstage before a show, and everyone's getting dressed and ready and everything else," he told the radio host. He also famously attacked former Miss Universe Alicia Machado during the 2016 campaign, after Hillary Clinton told her story during the first presidential debate. She alleged that Trump called "Miss Piggy" after she gained weight and forced Machado to exercise in front of reporters.
