Donald Trump: When I Insulted Carly Fiorina’s Face, I Meant Her “Persona”

A day doesn’t go by where we don’t have another personal insult thrown out by GOP White House hopeful Donald Trump.

This time the victim was former Hewlett-Packard exec Carly Fiorina (the only female in the Republican pack) and her appearance.

From NBC News:

In a new interview in Rolling Stone released late Wednesday, GOP frontrunner Trump said of the former HP chief “Look at that face!?”

“Would anyone vote for that? Can you imagine that, the face of our next president?!” the magazine quotes Trump as saying while he and his staff watch a television appearance by Fiorina.

The real estate mogul reportedly added: “I mean, she’s a woman, and I’m not s’posedta say bad things, but really, folks, come on. Are we serious?”

When Fiorina was asked about the comment on Megyn Kelly’s FOX News show last night, the former HP exec downplayed the issue.

“Maybe, just maybe, I’m getting under his skin a little bit because I am climbing in the polls,” she said.

Addressing the story this morning, Trump attempted to back pedal. You see, when he said “her face” what he meant was “her persona.”

“Probably I did say something like that about Carly,” Trump said. “I’m talking about persona. I’m not talking about look.”

Riiiiight.

Carly Fiorina Announces Run For 2016 GOP Presidential Nomination

“I understand how the economy actually works,” former CEO of Hewlett-Packard Carly Fiorina told ABC’s Good Morning America in announcing her bid for the GOP presidential nomination in 2016. “I understand the world, who’s in it, how the world works.”

Fiorina has never held public office. At this point, she is the only woman in the Republican field seeking the 2016 nomination.

Fiorina touts her business experience will make her most effective in addressing economic problems that she blames on President Obama.

The Democratic National Committee quickly lined up the facts of her failed leadership while at Hewlett-Packard (where she was ousted) after her announcement.

“While she is attempting to run on her business record, it consists of mass layoffs, tumbling stock prices, and a failed merger. If this is how Fiorina ran her business, just imagine what she would do to the country,” the DNC said in a statement.

Fiorina lost her only previous race for public office, a 2010 bid to unseat Sen. Barbara Boxer, D-Calif.

By the way, it appears that her forward-thinking business experience didn’t prep her to sign up the carlyfiorina.org domain. So, one guy decided to snap it up to show you how she did during her tenure at Hewlett-Packard. Check it out.
