In 2000, bombastic billionaire Donald Trump made a guest appearance in a Playboy video, as uncovered by BuzzFeed, breaking a glass of champagne in a limo before the start of explicit sexual scenes later in the VHS production in a publicity stunt in line with his apolitical persona at the time as a wealthy misogynist who would later emerge as a hit reality television star.
The real estate developer said in his scene, “beauty is beauty, and let’s see what happens in New York” in the limo filled will several Playboy “Playmates” before suggestively pouring the champagne over the Playboy Bunny logo before more sexually explicit scenes.

Other scenes from the film featured fully nude women rubbing honey on themselves, touching each other in sexually suggestive manners, bathing, and dressing in alluring clothing with the video’s cover reading, "From luxuriating in a warm, soapy tub, to reveling at an exclusive night club, Carol and Darlene bare their sex appeal and lead you on a sensual journey of discovery."
The video was filmed shortly after Trump’s divorce from his second wife Marla Maples during a bachelor period prior to wedding his current spouse Melania Trump and its emergence comes in response to the Republican nominee’s Twitter remarks regarding Alicia Machado, the former Miss Universe winner who accused Trump of “fat shaming” her after she gained 60 pounds months after winning the contest.
Hillary’s campaign used alleged statements Trump made about the former beauty contestant, such as calling her "Miss Piggy" and suggesting that she could eat a whole auditorium of food to suggest that the Republican does not respect women in a manner appropriate for serving in the Oval Office.
Trump responded by dredging up disturbing facts about Machado including her involvement as the getaway driver in a deadly drive-by shooting incident in Venezuela, subsequently threatening to murder the judge in the case, and being caught on camera having sex with a fellow contestant in Venezuela’s version of the reality television show Big Brother – an issue that was a major scandal in that country.

The Republican nominee looked to fire back against the accusations by pointing to these facts in what many view as a very counterproductive 3am Twitter storm that culminated in the tweet: "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?"
Hillary’s spokesperson Nick Merrill fired back saying, "There’s been a lot of talk about sex tapes today and in a strange turn of events only one adult film has emerged today and its star is Donald Trump."
This is the state of the US election in 2016. "Beauty is beauty," and let’s see what happens in November.
