Michael Huffington.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Trump’s obsession with the Huffington divorce may have something to do with his own experience as a wealthy, twice-divorced businessman. His tweets appear to brim with indignance at the fact that Arianna Huffington has eclipsed, in both stature and influence, the man who gave her her iconic last name.</li> </ul><a href="https://mobile.twitter.com/realDonaldTrump" target="_blank"><img src="https://pbs.twimg.com/profile_images/874276197357596672/kUuht00m_bigger.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></a><a href="https://mobile.twitter.com/realDonaldTrump" target="_blank">Donald J.

Trump @realDonaldTrump</a>How much money is the  extremely unattractive (both inside and out) Arianna Huffington paying her poor ex-hubby for the use of his name?<a href="https://mobile.twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/585262729511972864" target="_blank">10:08 PM · Apr 6, 2015</a>Bette Midler<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">In October 2012, Trump came after star of stage and screen Bette Midler, once again employing his painfully not-clever “I refuse to say” strategy. Trump was responding to a tweet in which Midler argued he should be held down and have his hair cut off.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">In his tweets, Trump gets to the heart of why he prefaces his barbs with a disclaimer on how hesitant he is to say it. The culprit? Reverse sexism.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">“.@BetteMidler talks about my hair but I’m not allowed to talk about her ugly face or body — so I won’t. Is this a double standard?” Trump tweeted, explaining his contempt for Midler. It is truly unfair that the future president of the United States was once forced to endure mild chiding about his combover from a legendary actor and comedian, but couldn’t follow up with his opinions about her “ugly face and body” without having to frame them as acts of self-restraint. #Misandry #Sad!</li> </ul><a href="https://mobile.twitter.com/realDonaldTrump" target="_blank"><img src="https://pbs.twimg.com/profile_images/874276197357596672/kUuht00m_bigger.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></a><a href="https://mobile.twitter.com/realDonaldTrump" target="_blank">Donald J.

Though much of it has taken place off Twitter, Trump still managed to get in a few body-shaming tweets between 2013 and 2014.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Once again, Trump’s biggest concern is hypocrisy and political correctness. He could not resist declaring victory after the star admitted to suffering from feelings of shame about her body, despite her own publicly stated position on body-positivity.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">And the billionaire, known for bragging about non-consensual sex acts, couldn’t help but manually retweet a follower’s query about how much money it would take for Trump to “make out” with the gay icon.</li> </ul><a href="https://mobile.twitter.com/realDonaldTrump" target="_blank"><img src="https://pbs.twimg.com/profile_images/874276197357596672/kUuht00m_bigger.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></a><a href="https://mobile.twitter.com/realDonaldTrump" target="_blank">Donald J.

Yes, eight times. While most of his tweets center around concerns that Pattinson might get back together with Stewart after she cheated on him, one particular tweet stands out, as the future president of the United States calls the Twilight star a “dog.”</li> </ul><a href="https://mobile.twitter.com/realDonaldTrump" target="_blank"><img src="https://pbs.twimg.com/profile_images/874276197357596672/kUuht00m_bigger.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></a><a href="https://mobile.twitter.com/realDonaldTrump" target="_blank">Donald J.
