While he was at the helm, Miss Venezuela was crowned Miss Universe four times.<\/p>\n<p>Among those women to serve as Miss Universe was Miss Venezuela Alicia Machado, who won the pageant the same year Trump bought the organization, but she became one of his fiercest critics when he first ran for president. <\/p>\n<p>Trump not only knew Machado, but he reportedly repeatedly attacked her weight both in 1996 and then 20 years later when he ran for president after she accused him of calling her \u201cMiss Piggy\u201d during her year as Miss Universe because she had gained weight. <\/p>\n<p>After Machado was brought up by Hillary Clinton, Trump seized on her working with his political rival and repeated his attacks on her weight in 2016.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cShe was the [Miss Universe] winner and, you know, she gained a massive amount of weight, and it was a real problem\u2014we had a real problem,\u201d Trump said on Fox News in September 2016, defending his past actions. <\/p>\n<p>Three more women who were Miss Venezuela went on to be crowned Miss Universe while Trump owned the organization, including the winners in 2008, 2009 and 2013. <\/p>\n<p>Trump on Friday brought up owning the Miss Universe Organization after being asked by a reporter when Venezuela will hold elections. The reporter noted that GOP Sen. Bernie Moreno had suggested one in exactly one year on July 24. 2027. <\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/nationwideinterstatemovers.com\/?p=4182\">Trump Melts Down Over \u2018Illegal\u2019 $1B Fine<\/a><\/p>\n<p>But the president does not appear to be ready to back elections in the South American country just yet. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs far as the elections in Venezuela, they are not really ready for them yet, but boy, a lot of progress has been made,\u201d Trump said. <\/p>\n<p>He then praised Delcy Rodr\u00edguez, Maduro\u2019s former number two, who has been acting as president since just after his capture and has been working with the Trump administration.
