Donald Trump Attacks Hillary Clinton On Her Marriage

Donald Trump on Friday criticized Hillary Clinton’s marriage and said he plans to raise the subject at the next presidential debate, aiming to unsettle his Democratic rival.

“Hillary Clinton was married to the single greatest abuser of women in the history of politics,” Trump said Friday in an interview with the New York Times, referring to former President Bill Clinton. “Hillary was an enabler, and she attacked the women who Bill Clinton mistreated afterward. I think it’s a serious problem for them, and it’s something that I’m considering talking about more in the near future.”

Trump told the Times on Friday that infidelity was “never a problem” in his own three marriages. Trump’s relationship with his second wife, Marla Maples, began while he was still married to Ivana Trump. He and his current wife, Melania, were married in 2005.

Trump, aiming to make up for a widely panned performance in the first presidential debate, said he hoped the topic of the former president’s extramarital affairs would turn off female voters and unsettle Hillary Clinton.

The right says Hillary Clinton is responsible for her husband. Why isn’t Melania Trump?
…
And given that Trump’s go-to move on the campaign trail this season has been to suggest that his rival for the presidency of the United States, Hillary Clinton, is somehow responsible for her husband Bill’s repeated betrayals, are we now supposed to ask why Melania Trump didn’t do a better job of acting as her husband’s keeper?
…
Like everything else about Trump’s campaign, this tendency to blame women for failing to restrain their husbands, or failing to give their husbands license to do whatever they want, or both simultaneously, somehow, is spectacularly self-interested. Donald Trump wants to live in a world where Hillary Clinton is a moral failure for staying in her marriage, but he can arrogantly describe behavior that most decent people would consider harassment and assault, leave his marriages, repeatedly insult woman and be considered a leader and an exemplar.

2. I've Always Felt That Melania Was Tr**p's Handler......

Maybe a Putin plant to keep Tr**p in line for Putin.

Melania really doesn't act like a wife.

3. People confuse love, sex, and money...

... my favorite line: "Trump told the Times on Friday that infidelity was “never a problem” in his own three marriages."

6. Oligarch news supports oligarch puppets.

7. Public appearance

To ask that, or to be frank, any number of other valid questions, she'd have to make an actual public appearance AND speak with the media. Not bloody likely.

Be “model”. Learn “Eenglish”. Only important werds. Like “pre-noop”. Haf anchor beebie. Say “pre-noop ”. Hear bad thinks about orange man. Say “pre-noop”. Orange man want photo at beach club. Say “pre-noop”.

Has she ever been asked even one uncomfortable question?
