Melania Says Donald's Pussygate Remarks Were All Billy Bush's Fault...

Trump would gain more by taking responsibility for his behavior, but instead he trots his wife out to redirect blame elsewhere..

With only 22 days left in the campaign, Melania Trump did her best today to defend her husband, telling CNN that Donald's "grab 'em by the pussy" remark was actually all Billy Bush's fault:

Melania Trump says her husband was "egged on" in the 2005 tape in which he made lewd comments about his own sexually aggressive behavior toward women...."And as you can see from the tape, the cameras were not on — it was only a mic. And I wonder if they even knew that the mic was on," she said, referring to Trump and NBC's "Access Hollywood" host Billy Bush.

She said they were engaged in "boy talk, and he was led on — like, egged on — from the host to say dirty and bad stuff."

An online travel company, Hipmunk, has found that bookings for Trump hotels on its site fell 58 percent during the first half of 2016, compared with the same period a year ago.

The Trump brand is toast.

and the boys.....

does she know that her husband is seventy ffffing years OLD?

boys and girls?

I know he also has a predilection for young girls, but I don't think she was getting at that

also, she sounds REALLY stupid, her infelicity with English notwithstanding

typical empty headed model, who never had to do anything with her life but look great

sorry, but that's the way she sounds to me

For that whole press conference I guess? Seems like a real weak person if that's the case.

After reading this though, she's just as vile as her misogynistic husband. She deserves whatever comes her way.

People that apologize or make up dumb excuses for him are enablers. He was a 60 yo man saying these things. He was actually bragging about things he DID.
