"Check out sex tape,In 80 Betten um die Welt" Donald Trump advised in a pre-dawn tweet Friday, in an attempt to discredit the former Miss Universe he once called "Miss Piggy."
Well, people did. And they didn't find any evidence that Alicia Machado starred in any such salaciousness, other than a reality show appearance in 2005.
On the other hand, some reporters at Buzzfeedhave dug out what looks like an appearance from Trump himself in a porn film.

Trump, however, plays a passing role. He's shown spraying champagne onto a Playboy car in the clip obtained from a digital video store and posted online, and doesn't feature in any of the film's racier scenes.

The film travels from the "sun-drenched beaches of California to Vermont's snowy peaks... in search of stunning beauty." When they reach New York, the women discover Trump. He's included in IMDB's credits for the film as "himself."

Clinton took to Twitter Friday to declare Trump "unhinged" following his early-morning tweetstorm, in which he called Machado "disgusting."
"When something gets under Donald's thin skin, he lashes out and can't let go," she wrote. "This is dangerous for a president."
And then when news of the soft-core porn appearance surfaced later Friday, a Clinton spokesman had this to say:
