Fat. Pig. Dog. Slob. Disgusting animal.

These are just some of the names that Donald Trump has called women over the years.

Trump called Sunshine’s story “totally false and ridiculous.”

1990: When he belittled his wife

“I would never buy Ivana any decent jewels or pictures. Why give her negotiable assets?”
