“They’re all liars! All of ’em” by digby
He knows Porter’s wives are lying. He just wonders what their evil motivation is:
As his White House has become engulfed in controversy over its handling of allegations of spousal abuse leveled against former Staff Secretary Rob Porter, President Donald Trump has privately questioned the credibility of the accusers. In fact, the president has gone as far as to express doubts to aides and friends about the assault allegations, and has asked repeatedly if there are any reasons Porter’s two ex-wives could have to make up such claims, according to three sources with direct knowledge of the conversations.
Trump’s skepticism has been apparent in discussions with confidants and officials, who tell The Daily Beast that, at least in their conversations, he has not expressed sympathy for the ex-wives, Colbie Holderness and Jennifer Willoughby, who have gone on the record to allege physical violence.
“[It is] 100% not what’s on his mind,” one source close to Trump who has spoken with the president in recent days told The Daily Beast, referring to the well-being of alleged victims. The White House press office did not respond to a request for comment on this story.
Of course he did:
And remember, these women are liars because there’s no way he’d ever assault anyone that ugly:
I particularly like the last observation that when he was standing at his podium during a debate Hillary Clinton walked in front of him and “believe me, I wasn’t impressed.”
And people wonder why so many women are appalled — and frankly, freaked out — that millions of people worship this guy.
It still chills me to my bones.
