BREAKING: Trump says he wishes aide accused of domestic violence well, hopes he’ll have a great career ahead of him.

1:03 PM - 9 Feb 2018

He called the press pool at a moment's notice for this statement.

1. He does not give a damn about the women..

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

2. Consider his own history with women....

[demmiblue]

3. Of course he doesn't.

Watching the exchange, it had a 'some very fine people on both sides' vibe to it.

4. He has almost certainly known for a year and never did a damn thing about it.

If he did not know, he is not the one in charge at the White House.

15. "He says he's innocent"

Well, that should clinch it. Of course, this is the same guy who called for the execution of the Central Park Five even after they had been exonerated. Yet another difference between a President who edited the Law Review and a President with complete disregard for the law.

8. C'mon folks - "He denied it, if fact, he totally denied it..."

The Trump threshold of innocence...

16. Well, Putin told him twice...

...that Russia didn't interfere with our elections. It must be true.

22. Al Capone totally denied it too

11. My take is that trump is sending a coded message to Porter

to keep his mouth shut about any unseemly or illegal things he's seen during the past year. And trump will repay him by praising and supporting him.

12. absolute scumbag, he is gross, vile.

[sunonmars]

13. Trump...."It's obviously a tough time for him."

what about the women he beat, it was tough for them when he was smacking them around....

[smirkymonkey]

23. Unforgivable. He is a raging misogynist.

How any woman in her right mind can support this bastard is beyond me.

14. thought it was Borowitz at first glance....

what a tone deaf orange piece of shit...

[syringis]

17. ????? He wishes well...

...and hopes his aide will have a great career ??? A man who abused his wife and his ex wife ???

It is official : we are standing on our heads...

18. Very fine people indeeed!
