Even if you haven’t been keeping up with politics everyone knows Donald Trump and that he is running for president. Whether you know him from "The Celebrity Apprentice," Miss Universe Pageant or from the first GOP primary debate where he said he would not support a fellow Republican nominee if he were denied the presidential bid. Maybe you know him from flat out insulting Carly Fiorina.
In an interview with "Rolling Stone," Trump decided Fiorina was a potential threat — which she is. Not only is Fiorina a graduate of Stanford University, but she was the CEO of Hewlett-Packard. And she was the first woman to lead a company ranked in the top 20 by Fortune magazine.
Trump felt threatened but instead of just being quiet, and frankly being a person, he went after her looks. “Look at that face! Would anyone vote for that? Can you imagine that, the face of our next president?”
As opposed to retaliating against Trump and giving him what he wants like Megyn Kelly did. When Trump insulted Megyn Kelly of "The Kelly File," she let it bother her and continue a back-and-forth with Trump. When in reality, she should have just left it alone. Or by giving him a taste of his own medicine and saying to him his hair is thinning or that he has resting bitch face.
Fiorina came back with a response that is honestly pure brilliance. Her committee released a web ad in response to Trump behavior, called “Look at this Face.” The minute-long video shows pictures of women of different ages as well as a voice over of Fiorina and footage of her from a campaign.
Fiorina is a really strong women and passive aggressively responses to Trump (without even the slightest mention of him) “This is the face of a 61-year-old-woman, and I am proud of every year and every wrinkle”.
She was able to turn Trump’s words into a video that made me proud to be a woman. Fiorina proved that she wasn’t going to let someone bully her or let Trump make her feel bad about herself. Instead she came back at his negativity with a positive response. Fiorina handled the attack with class and grace. And like a True G.
Carly Fiorina has already broken one glass ceiling in her lifetime and, hopefully, she can break another. Best of luck to you Carly as you continue on with your journey to the presidency.
