Trump to blame Mexican billionaire for groping allegations: report

[Capt. Obvious]

Donald Trump reportedly plans to blame Mexican billionaire Carlos Slim for emerging allegations of sexual assault against the GOP nominee.

Trump will say that Slim, as a shareholder of New York Times Co. and a donor to the Clinton Foundation, has an interest in helping Democrat Hillary Clinton's campaign, The Wall Street Journal reported Friday.
The Times published this week the stories of two women who allege Trump groped and kissed them without their consent in the past.

Trump has denied the allegations, calling them false and slanderous "in virtually every respect" and accusing the Times of fabricating stories to bring down his campaign.

....

The Clinton campaign called Trump's plan to pin the allegations on Slim "another deranged right-wing conspiracy theory."

4. The Trump Cult (leader Trump and all his mindless followers) sound more crazy every day

They really do. The alarming number of conspiracy theories they adhere to is simply mind boggling.

As my 16 year old daughter would say,

I can't even...

6. As if he hadn't insulted Latinos enough already... and "crooked Hillary"

He expects us to believe money would be incentive f/ all these women to come forward?! Next line will be Clinton promised Slim perks once she's in WH.

8. He's still butt-hurt ovder being fired by Carlos Slim last year. He's also probably insanely jealous

that Slim is a self-made billionaire and one of the world's wealthiest men.

"A television company controlled by Mexican billionaire Carlos Slim has cancelled a project with real estate developer and TV personality Donald Trump after his comments insulting Mexicans, Slim's spokesman said on Monday.
.........
Ora TV, a production company co-founded by Slim and TV personality Larry King and funded by America Movil, cancelled a program it was working on with some of Trump's companies, Slim's spokesman and son-in-law Arturo Elias said.
"His statement was totally out of line...working with someone so closed-minded was not going to work," Elias said, adding that the comments were racist.
Trump, earlier this month, described migrants from Mexico to the United States as drug-runners and rapists.

Telecoms magnate Slim is the world's second-richest man, with a net worth of around $71.1 billion, according to Forbes. Trump is at number 405 on the list, worth $4.1 billion.

12. No way is Trump worth $4.1 billion

$410 million is more accurate, maybe even less.

9. Mexicans raped that girl, not me!

This is getting ridiculous.

[Croney]

10. So it's Dumbo's turn to whip out that Mexican thing.

[underpants]

13. :-)

[Rose Siding]

11. Trump's lies about the NYT might damage them. They should sue him

[underpants]

14. Simple googling error - he meant Carlos Danger not Carlos Slim

[Zen Democrat]

15. Ah, I see what's going on here .... Blame the Mexican.

[Renew Deal]

16. If he goes too far, the women may sit for interviews somewhere and give first person accounts

I hope they do

[liberal N proud]

17. MexicanS must have invaded Trump's body to commit rape

The Mexicans have a mind control device.

[sinkingfeeling]

18. Again with the projection. Has to find the counter Roger Stone and

the Russian connection.

[grossproffit]

19. El Chapo?

[BSdetect]

20. Taco trucks must be vetted now

It's all part of some clever plot.

They are smarter than us remember?

[Ligyron]

21. I was going to start a thread eliciting guesses as to what "strong evidence" Trump has that

these women are lying. Pence said it would be out in mere hours. Is this it? Is this what he was talking about?

How does this even tie in to the varied and disparate stories by several women who don't even know one another.

I was going to guess they had hacked e-mails of the women contacting the Hillary campaign as to where they should go with their stories.

Neither scenarios provided would come close to disproving their claims.



That's what they got?

[yellowcanine]

22. OMG, is this the "new evidence" Pence was talking about?

So Trump is going to fan the flames and throw another log onto the fire just in time for the Sunday shows?
Maybe he is trying to lose.

[beachbum bob]

23. So trumps conspiracy is the evidence that's indisputable??

That's a laughable

[arthritisR_US]

24. tRumps evidence is deflection, hmm...well, the narcissistic sod

is consistent. His paranoid base will lap it up but those of us who walk on two legs see this diversion as a feeble attempt to obscure his filthy behaviour.
