According to Melania Trump, Billy Bush is a mastermind strategic genius

[Snake Plissken]

He was able to get Trump to not stop talking about stalking married women and grabbing random women's genitals, simply by laughing the right way. We should be using him to negotiate peace treaties and international trade partnerships

1. He's such a genius that he's now joblesd

[Snake Plissken]

2. It's obviously all part of his master plan, kind of like Trump bankrupting everything he touches

3. I don't expect much from Melania

Look, she either defends her husband or divorces/separates/rebukes him. She knows who she married.

I'm not going to attack her statement for defending her husband. She only has two choices and right now he's running for President, she has to defend him somehow.

4. Putin told her to either defend her loser husband or get reassigned to Siberia

It took her a week to think it over.

8. She appeared on CNN as a surrogate for Trump's campaign.

It's actually more sexist and demeaning to Melania to insist on viewing her simply as Trump's wife - and therefore deserving of sympathy - than to respect her role as a campaign representative.

Melania's comments deserve the same respect and scrutiny that we give every other Trump campaign spokesperson.

12. It is not sexist at all.

I would've said the same if it were a husband doing the same thing.

A spouse either leaves or defends.

I'm not going to criticize the spouse.

5. Melania tried to weasel out of plagiarizing Michelle

Obama's 2008 DNC speech. Now she trying to weasel trump out of taking responsibility for his own words.

What a pathetic bunch of buffoons.

[mythology]

6. I'm not sure that claiming to be outsmarted by a member of the Bush family

is going to be effective as a method of getting people to look past Trump's words and actions.

7. Like giving Ed McMahon credit for Johnny Carson's success.

[yardwork]

9. If Trump is so easily influenced, how will he stand up to to Jina?!

How is Trump going to defeat Isis if he can't even resist Billy Bush's bad influence?

10. I feel sorry for Meredith McIver

She'll take the fall for this fiasco for "bad interview prep." Poor Meredith.
