People are inserting Donald Trump's sex tape comment into previous presidential speeches
There's a first for everything.
On Friday morning, Donald Trump became the first presidential candidate to say the words, "check out sex tape." It put almost every presidential speech that came before to PG-rated shame and the witty folk of Twitter didn't fail to notice.
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?

Abraham Lincoln had nothing on Trump's way with words.

Nor did any other former president.

Trump: "Check out sex tape" https://t.co/Lb4qw2ag46
It certainly adds something fresh to significant presidential speeches.
With malice toward none, with charity for all, let us strive to check out sex tape

"Should men dare to ask a just God's assistance in wringing their bread from the sweat of other men's faces (check out sex tape)?" Lincoln

Trump was criticizing "crooked Hillary" during his 5:30 a.m. ET tweetstorm and slamming the fact she brought up Alicia Machado in Monday night's first presidential debate.
Machado, a former Miss Universe contestant, has become the center of the political conversation this week after Clinton said she had been called "Miss Piggy" and "Miss Housekeeping" by Trump. Later, it came out that Trump had also shamed her for her weight.
According to The Atlantic, the closest Machado has come to anything even remotely related to a "sex tape," is an interaction under the covers on Big Brother,and we do know how much Trump likes his reality TV shows. Whether this is what he is referring to is a different matter.
Thanks to Trump's latest statement, we are unsure how we will ever listen to a president's speech again, and not inject "check out sex tape" in our minds.
