Melania Avoiding Trump over Emerging Sex Scandal

Post Reply New Topic

Right so most of this is driven by emotions instead of reason. Certain media has a lot of people whipped up into a frenzy and they're making zillions off it.

There's plenty of reason, too. The guy's a s**tbag con artist who's been ripping people off for a career & there are plenty of allegations of all sorts of wrongdoing that give people plenty of reason to hate on him.

Again, why are you so willfully blind of Trump's reputation & why people dislike him?

I'm fully observant of the reputation and why people are swept up and all worked up over it. That's what I've been talking about actually. Who do you think generated that reputation and keeps stoking the fire? It seems like the majority of what I come across here is, according to the Washington Post.

Be it Melinia or Hillary I do not feel sorry for them as they had to have had an idea of the low character of the people they decided to marry and are staying married to.

JFK arguably compromised national security with his affairs, Clinton was getting oral while on the phone doing business, so far there are no allegations of Trump doing adultery while in office. Trump has credible allegations of sexual assault against him, Clinton has credible allegations of rape against him.

If Trump as likely did criminal sexual assault he should be procescuted for it. Just because Clinton got away with it and is considered a “rock star” anyway does not mean Trump should get away with it, two wrongs do not make a right. If Trump talks his way into jail great. If Trump is a “victim” of #MeToo his big mouth is an important reason for the long overdue #MeToo movement.

This is interesting (kinda).

What I'm trying to say is that I strongly believe in the quaint dated idea that unless a politicians non work life involves criminality or affects job performance it is nobody's business.

In response to some of the previous posts (I am unsure if they were directed at all participants within the thread, or, me) but, I, personally, have never read the Washington Post, nor do I read news articles pertaining to politics, nor do I watch any news. I do, however, listen to public radio on my way to work, on occasion, and I have read several WP posts pertaining to politics, and, WP political posts have provided me with most of the knowledge I have obtained. I know that could seem ignorant, but, I am one who becomes extremely effected by certain types of news, thus, I tend to stay away from it.

I don't know details of what has happened, nor do I want to, nor do I judge. I do know that the first lady is what I described in my initial post, and I do hope that she and her son fare well. I don't understand how anyone can defend the president, at this juncture. Everything is happening, right in front of our eyes. We aren't simply hearing rumors, and what is taking place is real, and not mere, 'allegations', as someone mentioned. Everything is evolving so fast. I cannot believe the segregation related issues being passed. It is sickening to me. I want to leave the US at this point, however, I still have a shred of hope. Hope that the entity will soon be removed from office, never to return. That is all.

yeah well i am pro trump for the moment.

no you can't speak for others.
i see no trump bashing in australian media.
no one i know has much of an opinion at all about him, but they can not understand why the americans are just so immovable in their positions.

there is a panel of commentators that happens at about 3:45pm every weekday afternoon, and the issues of the day are discussed.
the "best friend ban" situation, the selfie shot in front of accidents where they could have helped type of things.

and when ever the subject arises about some new transgression that the american media reports about trump, their sentiments are "i can't see the problem with what he said or did" etc.

our media praises trump mostly because of the economic flow on his policies have enabled.
we are not locked into this moral twistedness that you seem to be, so don't talk on behalf of all australians.

Even conservative rags like the financial review an the Australian are bagging Trump
He's not good for Australian trade given he tried to veto the TPP
We already know what Turnbull thinks of him

We need not worry about the left as it's forgone conclusion they hate him

i conclude you are unsalvageable

I'm sure there are some Australians (Andrew Bolt or Alan Jones) who see him as a strong man but they tend to be in a small minority who are searching for a leader who agrees with their own racist views

I'm not getting the relevance of this to the thread title.

Melania is avoiding Trump because of the "Stormy Daniel" affair...that's the gist of it...

we're not stupid down here in australia like you promote cyberdad.
here is alan jones (not alex jones the nut) in a conversation that could never be had in america.
we can talk about this scourge and i find it refreshing.

I've noticed that derailment is a constant issue in Trump-related thread unless it is flattering to Potus and now Flotus. There are more than usual off-topic posts so that it begins to seem that derailment bingo is employed to try and shut down debate on the actual topic. I have no objection to the pro-Trump supporters debating the issues per se, but the constant derailments are not debate, they appear more like deliberate diversion to derail, and in some cases, trolling.
