Is Trump's Mass Adultery Relevant to His Qualifications to Being President?
News Machete ^ | 1/26/2016 | Ed Straker

Posted on 01/26/2016 8:31:42 AM PST by conservativejoy

Donald Trump has slept with a lot of married women. Don't take my word for it, take his.

Trump wrote that he once considered an open marriage with his first wife, and in his book "The Art of the Comeback" he said: "If I told the real stories of my experiences with women, often seemingly very happily married and important women, this book would be a guaranteed best-seller."

Not only did he commit mass adultery, but he bragged about it. Should such an immoral man be elected President?

But it is a private affair, you may say. His private life, which is separate from his public life.

I don't think so. If a man is dishonest in his relationship with his wife, that shows a big flaw in his character. If he will be dishonest to the number one person in his life, he will have no qualms about being dishonest with the American people:

1) Trump has said that Ted Cruz's citizenship is no problem in September and now it is a big problem. Which time was he lying? 2) Trump has said we must accept Syrian refugees and the next day that we must not. Which time was he telling the truth?

3) Trump has said he wants to dismantle Obamacare but he has also said he supports universal health care--which is it?

4) Trump has said he likes Clarence Thomas but attacked Scalia for opposing racial quotas.

5) Trump has switched political parties five times.

6) Trump was for amnesty for illegal aliens for most of his adult life but now he says he is against it

7) Trump was for partial birth abortion for most of his life but now says he is against that too.

I think Trump's dishonesty in his personal life shows he cannot be honest in his public life, and thus he is not suited to being President.

We can go back further: Cleveland, Wilson (maybe), Harding, FDR, Eisenhower, maybe Jefferson. There were rumors about James Buchanan's sexual preference as well, so Obama may not be the first pervert in the White House. Unfortunately, human nature is such that men succumb to temptation. Was Jefferson's presidency and role in writing the Declaration of Independence diminished by his possible slave mistress? Did Eisenhower not lead the Allied military to victory in Europe and run probably the most successful presidency in the last century, in spite of his taking a mistress when in England?

Bill Clinton is in a class by himself because of his serial fornication, including rape, and the gangster like tactics used to suppress his affairs. Whatever their flaws, the other Presidents and Donald Trump do not approach Clinton's level of depravity.

This might be over your pay grade, but have you run out of things to say nice about your guy?

Is that why you folks continually trash Trump?

What has Ted accomplished in his lifetime?

Please tell me.

How many people has Ted employed?

How many big projects has he conceptualized and driven through to reality?

Oh, none you say? Well that would be exactly right.

Ted is a big fat zero.

That’s why you spend your time trashing Trump.

There’s nothing particularly impressive to address with Cruz.

He’s done nothing, accomplished nothing, hired nobody, and spent his time in or close to big government.

No thanks.

Now all of the “conservatives” that have attacked Billy Jeff over the years for his serial adultery and abuse of women will show up to tell you it’s a “private matter” when it comes to Trump, and that it’s “just about sex” - you know, because it’s Trump, and he is going to save us!

Warren Harding was a known adulterer. Jimmy Carter felt guilty for even looking at a woman who wasn't his wife. In spite of his bad reputation, Harding presided over peace and prosperity - keeping us out of foreign wars, not interfering with the economy, etc. Jimmy Carter sent the country down the tubes.

Being a good person in private matters doesn't make you a good executive, and having a sleazy private life doesn't mean that you will be a corrupt or incompetent executive.

And for the record, Clinton's (consensual) affairs were probably the least of my objections to his Presidency.

Aha! I see.

Anyone posting any news not adoring Trump in your mind is a "slinger of sludge."

OK, I get that. Thanks for clarifying.

Right, Trump hammered him on it and they backed off him instead of TRYING to dig up dirt on him. And I assume obummer would help the Clintons on the dirt digging if there was any dirt to find. But so far nothing except puritan Cruz’ers looking for love in all the wrong places.

You mean when he himself was single ?

Sorry but when I was single in my mid twenties, if a good looking woman wanted sex, I never bothered to ask them if they were happily married or if the divorce was final. Maybe you didn’t know but most young men are that way, I would be suspicious if they were not.

It would be interesting to see how many of the replies to this thread actually address the contents and accuracy of the piece. From the looks of it they will mostly be off topic insults against the writer, for writing it, and you, for posting it.

But that can’t be right, can it? we all know, or have at least been told time after time, that it’s only the Cruz supporters that are deranged. Curious.

It’s simply true.

Listen to Trump on Howard Stern.

If he get the nomination, in mid-October the MSM will go 24/7 on this.

Maybe no one cares. Maybe Trump can deal with it. Maybe not.

Was it in his office, on my time? Has he been accused of sexual harassment?

Were any of them raped?

What he does in his private life, while not my cup of tea, is not what I am voting for.

“I don’t think so. If a man is dishonest in his relationship with his wife, that shows a big flaw in his character. If he will be dishonest to the number one person in his life, he will have no qualms about being dishonest with the American people.”

This article is nothing more than a recycled hit piece taken from the original Washinton Compost article, which was a commentary on Trump’s 1997 book. News Machete clearly twisted the quote “If I told the real stories of my experiences with women, often seemingly very happily married and important women, this book would be a guaranteed best-seller.” That line was him talking about DATING, not about his marriage. Perhaps it would be a best seller if names were released of the women who were unfaithful in their marriage.
In the section of the book where Trump talks about his marriage with Ivana, he clearly states that having some kind of ‘open marriage’ would be tawdry and hypocritical.
This News Machete article is nothing more than using quotes out of context as a hit piece.

Billy Boy’s personal war on women is most certainly not “off the table.”

Well, in the eyes of DNC and MSM, they are.

It’s funny that you criticize Cruz supporters for “trashing Trump,” and then proceed immediately to trash Cruz.
