Don’t hate him, don’t love him, just enjoy watching him pee all over the political sandbox.
It’s a weak denial. Stupid lawyer shouldn’t be going around saying you can’t rape your wife though — even if you can (which I believe). It just doesn’t make for a good sound bite.
Ivana’s got Alimony to worry about. It would be very Trump to have her locked up under agreements where she would lose that alimony should she get out of line. Thus, weak denial.
So Ivana is defending him, thats good though. None of Bill Clinton’s rape victims are defending him.
I think your analysis is pretty spot on. If Ivana could make more money jumping on the newly rediscovered rape train she would. She likes the millions more, regardless of whether or not it was ever the truth. So it (her recent support of Trump) must be taken with a grain of financial salt.
Of course the opposite is also true, that the original claim very well could have been to squeeze more money out of the divorce. So who knows. If Trump’s lawyers don’t say anything stupid (again) he should be fine through this though. At best (for his detractors) Ivana comes across looking like a gold digger no matter how one looks at this now.
From what I’ve read over the years, the two actually do get along quite well.
In fact, regarding Clinton... (I think I first saw this on FR a couple days ago.)
