Donald Trump is still abusing women ... with his wife Melania the latest victim

Donald Trump is still abusing women...with his wife Melania the latest victim. 


Yet another alleged abuse victim of Donald Trump emerged last night on CNN, and again this morning on Fox — and this time, it was the candidate's own wife, Melania Trump.
Yes, the would-be First Lady was trotted out for the cameras to deliver, in her own (or her husband's own) words, how proud she is of her husband for standing up to the left-wing media conspiracy against him.
Huh? Yes, just a few days after the release of a tape on which her husband boasted of sexually abusing women, Melania Trump said it's all a conspiracy because "my husband is kind, he's a gentleman, he cares about people, he cares about women. He is not the man you heard on the tape."

Actually, he is the man we heard on that tape. And he's the man we've seen in the headlines for decades boasting that sex with him is "the best sex" anyone has ever had. So pretty much everyone believes the allegations of the Cosby-esque binders of women that have testified that Donald Trump's locker-room talk isn't just talk.
It's pretty clear that Melania herself believes some of the allegations about her husband, admitting on CNN that the tape sounded to her like "two teenage boys (who) should behave better, right?"
"Sometimes I say I have two boys at home," she said "I have my young son and my husband." (Which one is running for president? It's hard to tell, which is why it's not too late to consider dumping Donald for Barron.)
Of course, Donald Trump is not the first flailing politician to repulsively trot out his traumatized wife for the cameras. They all do it when they need cover. And Hillary Clinton knows that better than anyone.

But as in that famous "I'm not Tammy Wynette" moment, the wife isn't typically sent out there to do battle alone. When Hillary stood by her man, at least Bill was sitting there, squirming and having to pretend that he was sorry.
Melania's only allies were her penthouse view and her gilded Louis XIV chairs. Nothing says, "My husband is a man of the people and this whole thing is a left-wing conspiracy" like a penthouse view and a gilded Louis XIV chair.
