All of these liars
So Trump gave a talk today in Gettysburg – as one does, hoping some of the cred that Lincoln picked up there will transfer. Slate chose a nice photo to show Trump in Lincoln mode:

After weeks of scandal after scandal, Donald Trump was meant to focus on policy. His Saturday address in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania was billed as the chance for Trump to show why voters should choose him over Hillary Clinton. The speech would “set the tone” for the final weeks of the campaign as Trump would make the case for why he is “the change-agent our country needs,” Stephen Miller, Trump’s national policy director said before the speech.
Right at the beginning of the address though, Trump seemingly couldn’t help himself and mentioned all the women who have come forward to accuse him of sexual assault, straight up calling [them] liars and vowing to take them to court.
“Every woman lied when they came forward to hurt my campaign. Total fabrication, the events never happened — never,” he said. “All of these liars will be sued after the election is over.”
Well, if he does, that Access Hollywood tape will hurt him.
That means Trump is vowing to file at least 10 lawsuits against women who have accused him of wrongdoing, regardless of whether he wins the election.
Just like Lincoln.
Wait a second. I can see his little thumb there. But where is it going? His mouth is closed, his lips sealed.
Ah-men!
I think Trump is a change-agent, all right. Just not the sort of change we need.
First he’ll have to deal with the lawsuit against him for raping a 13 year old girl.
Since he loves to use the threat of lawsuits to intimidate people, this really comes as no surprise, does it?
If he does take them to court, could the other unedited tapes from his various shows (the ones that can’t be shown for ‘copyright’ issues) be made available as evidence?
Good question. I should think they could be subpoena’d…but what do I know.
What are the chances of Trump being able to sit through others’ testimony without blurting interjections?
