Defending accused abusers is the norm for Trump.


Trump took to Twitter Saturday morning to once again defend an accused abuser.

A day after the second White House aide in one week resigned amid allegations of domestic abuse, Trump tweeted his concern about the accused — and remained silent on the plight of their alleged victims.

“Peoples lives are being shattered and destroyed by a mere allegation. Some are true and some are false. Some are old and some are new,” Trump tweeted.

“There is no recovery for someone falsely accused — life and career are gone. Is there no such thing any longer as Due Process?”

Most recently, Trump lined up behind accused serial child molester Roy Moore, who lost his bid for a Senate seat after the citizens of Alabama rejected him.

He has also publicly defended former Fox News chief Roger Ailes and former Fox host Bill O’Reilly against allegations of sexual harassment, and called Mike Tyson the victim after the former boxer was convicted of rape.

Thus Trump’s immediate defense of other men accused of similar behavior is not surprising — but it is repugnant all the same.
