Roz Purcell weighs in on Donald Trump’s bid for US presidency

Ever since Donald Trump announced his bid for U.S presidency, the internet has been having an absolute field day.

One Irish model has even weighed in on his campaign.

Roz Purcell, who worked for Trump’s agency in New York once upon a time has said that she is “not surprised” by his bid. She told RTE Ten:

“I don’t know whether he’s going to get it or not, but his campaign has definitely been very interesting to follow.”

In 2010, the Donald himself had picked Roz as the favourite to win the Miss Universe pageant, and he quickly signed her to his agency when she finished in seventh place.

At the time people also couldn’t help but notice her similarity to Donald’s wife Melania. Roz was quick to dismiss those notions, telling Irish Central: “No. C’mon, Melania is absolutely gorgeous. So I take it as a compliment. I think Donald Trump appreciates someone with a bit of character.”

Today the Tipperary native has much more interest in food. Her blog Natural Born Feeder has a huge following and has led her to head back to college to study nutritional therapy. She said it would be nice for her blog “to have a little bit more of a stamp of approval”.

She said that after her years modelling New York, she came to realise that “crash diets” didn’t cut it. She got sick of “trying to fit in a certain shape.”

We agree with Roz on the no crash dieting, we also agree with her about Donald’s “interesting” campaign.

Let’s have a look at some of his most interesting moments so far, shall we. 

His comment on the people of Mexico:

They're sending people that have lots of problems, and they're bringing those problems with us. They're bringing drugs. They're bringing crime. They're rapists. 

His astute business observation on the state of American journalism:

When asked by ABC’s This Week  if he had any regrets:

I have said things that I could've held back. But not that often, surprisingly not that often, but certainly there have been occasions.

When he pointed to the racial tension which exists across the United States:

You look at Baltimore, you look at Cleveland. You look at all of those places, just exploding. We have an African-American president [and] we've never had it so bad.

His response to Democratic candidate Hilary Clinton’s disappointment with his immigration comments:

There's never been a Secretary of State so bad as Hillary. The world blew up around us. We lost everything, including all relationships. There wasn't one good thing that came out of that administration or her being Secretary of State.

Basically, any time he mentions Mexico he manages to stir up some controversy:
