NATION Wednesday, September 28, 2016 East Oregonian Page 7A As Clinton cheers, Donald Trump digs in after debate RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) — A defensive Donald Trump gave Hillary Clinton plenty of fresh material for the next phase of her presidential campaign on Tuesday, choosing to publicly reopen and relitigate some her most damaging attacks. The day after his irst general election debate, Trump blamed the moder- ator, a bad microphone and anyone but himself for his performance. Next time, he threatened, he might get more personal and make a bigger political issue of former Pres- ident Bill Clinton’s marital inidelities. Things are already getting plenty personal. On Monday night, Trump brushed off Clinton’s debate claim that he’d once shamed a former Miss Universe winner for her weight. But then he dug deeper the next day — extending the controversy AP Photo/John Locher Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump waves as he walks off stage after a roundtable event, Tuesday in Miami. over what was one of his most negative debate night moments. “She gained a massive amount of weight. It was a real problem. We had a real problem,” Trump told “Fox and Friends” about Alicia Machado, the 1996 winner of the pageant he once owned. The comments were reminiscent of previous times when Trump has attacked private citizens in deeply personal terms. Earlier this month, he was interrupted by the pastor of a traditionally African-American church in Flint, Michigan, after breaking his agreement not to be political in his remarks. Though Trump abided by her wishes, he went after her the next morning on TV saying she was “a nervous mess” and that he thought “some- thing was up.” In July, Trump assailed the parents of Humayun Khan, a Muslim U.S. soldier who was killed in Iraq in 2004, after the young man’s father spoke out against the Republican at the Democratic National Convention. Trump’s latest comments about Machado were striking NEW MEMBERS CHAMBER EVENTS Agri Northwest Chamber Business ConnecƟon 6716 W.

Clinton aides on Tuesday acknowledged they’d laid a trap for Trump. “He seemed unable to handle that big stage,” said Clinton campaign chairman John Podesta. “By the end, with kind of snorting and the water gulping and leaning on the lectern that he just seemed really out of gas.” Clinton interrupted a discussion of foreign policy in the inal moments of the debate to remind viewers that Trump had called Machado “Miss Piggy” and “Miss Housekeeping.” A video featuring Machado, a Clinton supporter, was released less than two hours after the debate inished. Aiming to capitalize on Trump’s renewed focus on a woman’s weight, Clinton’s campaign also dispatched Machado to tell reporters how she spent years struggling with eating disorders after being humiliated publicly by Trump. “I never imagined then, 20 years later I would be in this position, I would be in this moment, like, watching this guy again doing stupid things and stupid comments,” Machado said. “It’s really a bad dream for me.” Both campaigns knew the irst debate, watched by some 80 million people, could mark a turning point six weeks before Election Day with Trump and Clinton locked in a close race. Clinton moved quickly to capitalize on her perfor- mance, launching new attacks on Trump’s failure to release his tax returns and proiting from the subprime mortgage crisis. As Trump courted Hispanic voters in Miami, Clinton hammered on an allegation she’d leveled the night before: that he is refusing to release his returns because he goes years without paying any federal taxes. “That makes me smart,” was Trump’s coy response in the debate, but on Tuesday, Clinton insisted it was nothing to brag about. Trump’s campaign aides had worked hard in recent weeks to keep him on message — and away from personal attacks — persuading him to use teleprompters and reach out to minority audiences. Their moderate success in scripting Trump came to a halt on Tuesday. Though he insisted he’d done “very well,” Trump accused moderator Lester Holt of going harder on him than Clinton.
