Unfaithful man sneers at woman married to unfaithful man
Trump is still attacking Clinton because her husband fucked around without telling her, as if that were her fault.
Donald J. Trump suggested during a rally in Pennsylvania on Saturday that Hillary Clinton was not “loyal” to her husband, former President Bill Clinton, an insinuation about their relationship that plunged the 2016 presidential race further into a personal battle.
Mr. Trump told the crowd in Lancaster County, about 70 miles west of Philadelphia, that Mrs. Clinton’s only loyalty was to her donors and herself. He added: “I don’t even think she’s loyal to Bill, you want to know the truth. And really, folks, really, why should she be, right?”
Trump fucked around on his first wife. No doubt he considers that her fault as opposed to his.
For Mr. Trump, who is trailing badly in polls with women, the new attack on Mrs. Clinton is a risky strategy. At the rally, he also repeated his criticism from the debate that Mrs. Clinton lacked the stamina to be president, a comment that many women viewed as sexist.
To make his point, he mocked her stumble at a memorial event on Sept. 11, when she left early with what her doctor described as a bout of pneumonia. He swooned back and forth at his lectern and then walked away from it, pretending to lurch forward.
“Here’s a woman, she’s supposed to fight all of these different things, and she can’t make it 15 feet to her car,” Mr. Trump said. “Give me a break.”
The Times includes a video clip of his mockery, which shows the contempt with which he said and did that. The man is a loathsome piece of scum.
Some people, to get them to dig their own grave, you have to kinda coax ’em to pick up the shovel.
Trump snatches it from your hand, gets right to it. And when you try to tell him, seriously, guy, that’s more than deep enough, he answers: “@#$% you, I’m just getting started.”
… slightly less metaphorically, it’s pretty much what I saw coming. He has advisors actually suggesting the dangerous general direction of the Clintons’ marriage, probably on the notion that _somehow_ he could regain some high ground by saying Ms. Clinton’s treatment of the women he husband was involved with was less than stellar–this being maybe the _one_ part of this he might make some mileage with, even among some progressives…
But our society’s expectations in the area are a complicated minefield–confounded further by the events he’s dredging up being so absurdly and opportunistically politicized from the beginning–and sexist blame-the-woman by default notwithstanding, a lot of people will also cut the cheated-upon spouse a whole hell of a lot of slack in such situations. Add to that this guy has all the subtlety and control of a drunk chimpanzee swinging a twenty pound sledgehammer, and I woulda told his advisors (except, y’know, that I’m happy to watch them lose), umm, no, bad idea. Maybe with the right candidate, one with an entirely different history, you might have a chance, _if_ he stuck very carefully to that. But this guy, he’s as likely to pull the pin, throw that, and hold the grenade. As as been happening so far. As, yes, the howling misogynists will love it, even as he goes to tasteless, ugly gossipy neighbour-type speculation like this one… But he already had those in the can anyway.
(Reference/credit: I probably picked up the “@#$% you I’m just getting started” image from some comment on Wonkette somewhere, where, naturally enough, people are also watching this while muching much popcorn. But finding it, at the current speed of reaction, dunno that’s gonna happen today.)
(s/he/her husband, obviously).
So Hillary Clinton, who famously (infamously?) stood by her husband after the revelations of his adultery, was disloyal? I still can’t wrap my mind around this mind-set: say things that you and everyone else know to be false, and keep saying them until enough people believe them.
Also, Clinton getting sick is evidence that she lacks stamina? Does Trump never get sick? Ever? (Or do germs find him as disgusting as I do?)
Here’s hoping he continues to stay unhinged… apparently he was able to use a teleprompter at some point this week and looked… well… what the Trump version of normal looks like.
