Donald Trump attacks ex-Miss Universe again, says Hillary Clinton was ‘duped’ by the ex- beauty queen

U.S Republican party presidential candidate has blasted the ex-Miss Universe Alicia Machado who claimed he called her Miss piggy and Miss Housekeeping in 1996 because she had gained weight after winning the pageant and because of her Latina roots.
 
Trump called her his 'worst' Miss Universe winner, and also suggested  Hillary Clinton helped the Venezuelan ex-model beauty get into the U.S. so she can get back at him this election period.
 
“Wow, Crooked Hillary was duped and used by my worst Miss U. Hillary floated her as an "angel" without checking her past, which is terrible!” Trump tweeted.  
Did Crooked Hillary help disgusting (check out sex tape and past) Alicia M become a U.S. citizen so she could use her in the debate?”
Trump's tweets comes days after allegations resurfaced that the 1996 Miss Universe Alicia Machado was part of an attempted murder plot.
In 1998, two years after her crowning and the weight-gain, a then-21-year-old Machado was charged with driving the getaway car after her boyfriend tried to kill his brother in law.
 
Trump also alleged she starred in her own sex tape

See inside the luxurious house belonging to Gigi and Bella Hadid's dad Mohammed Hadid

The supermodel sisters were living in the lap of luxury long before their lucrative modelling careers.
 
Their real estate developer dad, Mohammed Hadid, 67, and his palatial mansion feature in the new issue of Harper's Bazaar Arabia along with his wife, Shiva Safai. His incredible, 48000ft Bel Air mansion is luxuriously named Le Belvédère.
 
The website for the property says that over 1,000 people worked on building and decorating the place. The magnificent home boasts a gym, a wine cellar that can hold 5000 bottles, a ballroom that can accommodate 200 people, a baroque home theater that seats 60, a game room and a Turkish-style spa with pieces imported from Morocco, Turkey, Indonesia, and China.
 Mohammed made his money designing swanky buildings including the Ritz Carlton hotel amongst other resorts and mansions.
'The homes I have done in the Los Angeles area are a combination of neoclassical style with a very modern interior. I don’t follow trends so I make my own,' he told Harper magazine. 
'I create homes that feel like a home — it could be a palace or a mansion — but each one has a comfortable feeling.'
 His ex-wife, Yolanda is the mother to Gigi and Bella.
