Gross. Note to self: Don't read DCUM right before dinner. |
Sounds like Jared Kushner and Peter Thiel told him open borders is good. Pumps Wall Street, slams middle class wages, and slumlords like the Kushners get even richer off gov subsidized housing rentals. |

If any voters had forgotten that Donald J. Trump was accused by multiple women of sexual misconduct, he spent roughly 45 minutes reminding them on Friday, eight weeks before Election Day.
At a lectern in the lobby of Trump Tower, Mr. Trump, flanked by seven of his lawyers, laid out years-old allegations from the women in detail as he denied that they were telling the truth. He had just attended a federal appeals court hearing related to a civil case in which he was found liable of sexually abusing and defaming a New York writer, E. Jean Carroll, decades earlier. Mr. Trump was not required to attend the hearing, but decided he wanted to. When the hearing was over, he went to his eponymous building for what the Republican presidential nominee’s campaign called a “press conference.” But he ended it without taking questions, and the session — during which Mr. Trump criticized his rival, Vice President Kamala Harris, for avoiding reporters — was more like a venting exercise over his frustrations about his legal travails. Mr. Trump — who is set next week for what may be his only debate against Ms. Harris — used the time Friday to insult the lawyers working for him, saying he was “disappointed” in them before adding that they’re “talented,” as they stood, mute, in a row next to him. He declared that Ms. Carroll’s claim that a dress she owned may have had Mr. Trump’s DNA on it was inspired by Monica Lewinsky, referring to the White House intern whose life was forever changed after she had a sexual relationship with former President Bill Clinton. He couldn’t remember one of the accuser’s names, and spent time at the lectern searching for it through the rectangular note cards he held. Of another accuser, Jessica Leeds, who alleged an assault on an airplane, he said, “She said I was making out with her. And then, after 15 minutes — and she changed her story a couple times, maybe it was quicker — then I grabbed her at a certain part and that’s when she had enough.” He added, “Think of the impracticality of this: I’m famous, I’m in a plane, people are coming into the plane. And I’m looking at a woman, and I grab her and I start kissing her and making out with her. What are the chances of that happening?” |
He bragged about it on a hot mic… I find his mental illness fascinating in terms of the fact that he’ll admit to the exact same thing somewhere else but then say it’s insane to suggest he’d do that. And I wonder what’s up with the average Republican voter that they like this kind of abuse. You guys are weirder than **ck. |

He has no idea what he’s rambling about. I’m actually starting to worry I may feel sorry for him at the debate. I have elderly parents and would never subject them to something like that. |

And the few vocal defenders Trump has left have been frothing that no one takes Trump’s shooting incident seriously enough. How should it be treated with when he acts like this about another pol’s spouse’s nearly deadly assault? |
