Comments about his ownership of Miss Universe on the Howard Stern Show on Donald Trump
← Back to Donald Trump ProfileCaptured from a 2005 Howard Stern interview, Donald Trump describes backstage access at beauty pageants he owned, emphasizing his perceived entitlement to inspect undressed contestants.
“I'll go backstage, before a show, and everyone's getting dressed and ready and everything else. And you know, no men are anywhere. And I'm allowed to go in because I'm the owner of the pageant and therefore I'm inspecting it. You know I'm inspecting, I want to make sure everything is good, the dresses, "Is everyone OK?", you know they're standing there with no clothes, "Is everybody OK?", and you see these incredible-looking women, and so I sort of get away with things like that.”
Speaking at a Bronx barbershop, Donald Trump recounted a situation where he dismissed someone for highlighting female doctors, revealing a potential bias.
“They had a person who was extremely proud that a number of the women had become doctors. And I wasn't interested.”
