Still. Check your history what some of the 18th and 19th century politicians did.

Surely we didn't think Trump's bigoted rhetoric was only going to be targeted towards Mexicans and Muslims right?

I'd love to see her try to sue, then we might get to see all of the Clinton Foundation's donations from foreign countries. As they say, "It isn't libel if it's true".

Yeah, turns out Hillary's supporters made the image, someone fed it to Trump, and he Tweeted it without thinking about it (as he does).

What are you basing this on? Is it actually a factual statement or do you just want it to be true?

A sheriff's badge does not always have 6 points, and one wonders if law enforcement made the change after WWII on purpose to avoid the comparison. Regardless, knowing the source (how weird is that place) there's no point in trump trying to defend the "art". If his camp had made it they could claim some intent.

A more factual statement is the Hollywood issue, "Wild West" sheriff's badge has six points.

It's kind of shady and disingenuous that so many anti-semites on the Left are defending Jews now (not talking about anyone here) when they've done far worse than simply post a pic with a six-pointed star.

I've sometimes thought a good punishment would be a firing squad where, unbeknownst to the accused, all the shooters have blanks. If that didn't scare a criminal "straight", nothing would.

Skip to about 50 seconds in. What's funny is that the NBC reporters were trying to find a Trump supporter to parade as "proof" of their ridiculous accusations, but instead felt it necessary to "just be clear" that this guy doesn't matter and is a diversion to what they wanted you to see. F*cking propaganda, where the NBC staff judged & discredited the dude based on the color of his skin vs the content of his character. Disgusting.

It casts serious doubts on the validity of her accusations, obviously.

But Trump hasn't denied saying what she accused him of saying.

Without a denial, he's not questioning her veracity, he's claiming it made his behavior acceptable.

What JuRY argues should have been Trump's play...

1) Have I ever said stuff in private, in the heat of the moment, which I wish I hadn't said? Sure. I think everybody has. Believe me.

2) I think you'll find if you look into it, Machado turns out not always to be the easiest person to deal with, but hey... you know what? Neither am I.

3) Since Hillary thinks we should be discussing things said to women back in the 90's, I've got this little list here of things she's said to women who accused her husband of sexual assault. Let's see how much of a friend to women she really is.


JuRY suggested this while wearing a narwhal onesie. I'm not sure if he thinks Trump should do the same.

The accusations that are backed up by him fat-shaming her to the media, then going on Fox & Friends and fat-shaming her some more?

*shrug* She was a public figure and in breach of contract. Don't want that type of scrutiny over becoming obese? Don't enter the pageants.

I can actually sympathize with that. I know how the industry works, and I have myself been party to (privately discussed) decisions of "this woman weighs too much to fit the character". I'm not proud of it, but I know what side of the toast the butter's on.

So, there are ways this can be defended. "She's a horrible human being" is not one of those ways

She's horrible for threatening to kill someone and being an accomplice to armed robbery, not for being fat.

Hence mentioning those things make for a poor defense of his own behavior, because what he's being accused of is calling her fat.

A better defense would be the one you mentioned above. She entered a beauty pageant. This is the last place to be arguing superficial concerns lack merit. He took a "no bullshit" approach, in private, to the most pivotal employee of his operation.

Instead, he opts for character assassination... to the accusation he calls people names.

I... uh... wow.
