Again, Trump is unconcerned with Senate vote counting. He’s concerned about his image. So it’s unlikely that the upcoming tax vote in the Senate, or any other Senate votes, is driving his thinking on Moore.

Rather, Trump appears to be deeply committed to the idea that women are liars. Trump is setting the standard that no matter how many women step forward, we should believe a man’s denials.

“Well, he denies it. Look, he denies it. I mean, if you look at what is really going on, and you look at all the things that have happened over the last 48 hours, he totally denies it. He says it didn’t happen. And, you know, you have to listen to him also. You’re talking about, he said 40 years ago this did not happen,” Trump said on Tuesday.
