PET PEEVES Trump, Dr. Ddrok (inset)
Donald Trump has never been shy about voicing his opinions on the fairer sex. He famously referred to Rosie O'Donnell as "my nice fat little Rosie" and "a real loser" during their very public feud back in 2006; he also boasted to Larry King that Angelina Jolie is "Okay, but she's not a great beauty, by any stretch of the imagination." But the following audio clip, a recorded phone conversation between Trump and gossip Chaunce Hayden, provides a telling glimpse into just how exacting the real-estate blowhard's standards are regarding women.

Some background: Hayden had run an item in his Steppin' Out magazine in which a Penthouse Pet and clinical psychologist/sex author named Dr. Victoria Zdrok cataloged a bunch of dating faux pas Trump had made while taking her out. ("All he does is talk about himself," Zdrok complained in the item. She also noted that Trump kept telling her about how he's better looking in real life than he comes off on TV, about how "skinny and ugly" his exes Marla Maples and Ivana Trump looked, and that he told her, "Once you make love to me, you'll never be able to make love to anybody else.")

All stuff you can easily imagine Trump saying. Except the comments bothered Trump so much that he called up Hayden to 1) deny ever going out with Zdrok in the first place, and 2) make clear that he would never even consider going out with her because she is ugly and posed for Penthouse, whereas he, refined character that he is, is more a Playboy man. "This person, I don't even know who she is. I never took her out!" Trump rants. "And by the way, based on her picture, I would never take her out. She looks like a fucking third-rate hooker. I mean gimme a break."

It gets better from there: "I mean, Chaunce, come on, I have good taste in women.... She's not a good-looking girl.... I mean she's a 35-year-old Penthouse Pet? That's pretty pathetic. I thought it was Playboy? I never took her out."

The clip is from 2005, but something tells us his attitude hasn't changed much since then.
