Donald Trump's Softcore Porn Appearance

According to a report from BuzzFeed published Friday, Donald Trump appeared in a softcore porn film in 2000. The video, which was made by Playboy, features some of the magazine's Playmates visiting New York City. As BuzzFeed noted, Trump's role is "relatively benign and centers around him breaking a bottle of champagne on a Playboy-branded limo." He also states in the film, “Beauty is beauty ... let’s see what happens with New York." However, even though Trump is not participating in any sexual acts, this discovery may make Trump the first presidential candidate to have appeared in a pornographic film, albeit fully-clothed.

According to BuzzFeed, the VHS cover of the film states:

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.

Lucky for Carol and Darlene, this "sensual journey of discovery" apparently necessitated a visit from the Donald.

While a presidential candidate's appearance in an adult film would almost certainly raise eyebrows, the timing couldn't be worse for Trump. BuzzFeed's uncovering of the Playboy film comes hours after Trump launched a Twitter blast against former Miss Universe, Alicia Machado, and alleged she had a "sex tape" in her past. While, thus far, there has been no evidence of any sex tape attached to Machado (there are reports that there's footage of her having sex with a co-star while participating on the Venezuelan version of Big Brother), it does seem that there is one attached to the Republican presidential candidate.

Trump has been taking swings at Machado since Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton cited her during the first presidential debate. Clinton said that Trump called Machado "Miss Piggy" and "Miss Housekeeper." Clinton then added, "She has become a U.S. citizen, and you can bet she is going to vote this November."

While Trump was fixated on Machado's weight earlier in the week, his attacks turned towards her sexual history early Friday morning. The break-of-dawn tweets struck many as petty and unhinged. Now, based on the BuzzFeed report, Trump's tweet may also appear hypocritical.
