Trump to hold public signing of ‘Protecting Young Victims from Sexual Abuse’ law after wife-beating allegations

President Donald Trump this week plans to hold a public signing ceremony for a sexual abuse law just days after he defended a White House staffer who was accused abusing his two ex-wives.

Politico reported on Sunday that Trump’s Wednesday schedule includes a signing ceremony for the Protecting Young Victims from Sexual Abuse and Safe Sport Authorization Act.

The act, sponsored by Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-CA), requires anyone who oversees children athletes to report allegations of sexual misconduct or abuse. The ceremony will just a week after Trump and Chief of Staff John Kelly defended White House staffer Rob Porter over abuse charges — even though the FBI had refused to grant him a security clearance based on the allegations.

It was not immediately clear if Trump would take questions at Wednesday’s ceremony.

prosecute offenders, if it's like most GOP initiatives. They always do the opposite of their names.

Again,what is in the fine print. Is this another effort to Stage Craft the Predator In Cheif's Image? Sure looks like it.

This from the man who is on record as saying he wanted to fuck his daughter,
bragged about walking in on under age girls as they were naked, bragged about
grabbing woman's pussies, has 19 different women come out and say he sexually
assaulted them, and an under age girl said he rapped her.

on stage as his backdrop?

WITHOUT AN INKLING of self-awareness and what everyone will be thinking?

Crazy, yes. But really, are there any limits to what he would do?

This is a necessary piece of legislation that originated on the left. We are powerless over how Trump decides to sign it.
