Getting ugly: Why the Trump spousal ‘rape’ story was unfit to print
foxnews.com ^ | Howard Kurtz

Posted on 07/29/2015 3:57:46 AM PDT by RoosterRedux

“On one occasion during 1989, Mr. Trump and I had marital relations in which he behaved very differently toward me than he had during our marriage. As a woman, I felt violated, as the love and tenderness, which he normally exhibited towards me, was absent. I referred to this as a ‘rape,’ but I do not want my words to be interpreted in a literal or criminal sense.”

What a scoop, huh?

Now it would be one thing if Ivana was making this allegation today. Instead, the first Mrs. Trump issued this statement to CNN yesterday:

“The story is totally without merit. Donald and I are the best of friends and together have raised three children that we love and are very proud of. I have nothing but fondness for Donald and wish him the best of luck on his campaign. Incidentally, I think he would make an incredible president.”

That’s the “victim” presented by the story.

I’m sorry, but the piece in the Beast, where I once worked, reads like a hit job calculated to harm Trump. It encapsulates everything that people hate about the media. And I knew even before The Donald went on Greta Van Susteren’s show that he would use it to attack the media, and that his words would resonate.

Its the “Main Stream Media” that does the raping of its intended victims every day.

The best game is what will the media’s next attempt to take down Trump be, and how many percentage points he’ll gain from his response.

Trump seems to be holding all 13 cards of the suit and all his detractors can do is waste their cards.

It’s the Democrat Propaganda Ministry. Why should we expect anything different?

It was an untrue past history story that should not have been given the light of day. It was a hit piece and Megyn used it for ratings. I thought she should have asked the twerp reporter about why he hadn’t reported on the transgressions of the husband of Hillary Clinton. That would have put this story in it’s proper place. It would have paled compared to the Clinton history.

The press is just setting Trump up for a home run play.

They make a wild accusation, putting the spotlight on Trump. The anticipation builds.

Then he steps up to the plate and proves their attack is a lie once again...thereby driving home his point that the media is a BIG part of the problem.

And his support just grows a little stronger.

Do we really know that it’s not the RINO/GOPe Propaganda Ministry (that is, the Undercover Democrat) at work in this case?

The hilarious thing is that if the big media try to ignore him, the little players fill the void, trying to build their rep.

And they succeed, but it's not the rep they wanted.

So finally, the winner once again is...Trump.

I think it’s fair to identify the media with Democrats. As far they’re concerned, Lindsey Graham is just as close to Hitler as the most genuine right-winger.

this hit came from the far left daily crank so I think its the Comrade Hillibeast smear team.

Its has Carville / Begala / Georgy Stephy aroma to it.

If Kurtz is so upset, why does he rehash the nasty allegations in his column? Bet he wouldn’t do that to either Clinton or Obama.

Anyone hear the weepy metrosexual author of this smear? Take my word, he plays for the other team.

I notice how supposed tough Meggie gives the Dem side all the time in the world and always the last word.

You know she is a Lib lawyer.

Maybe Trump’s campaign brought it up to set up another conflict and keep his name in the news. Maybe Ivana passed it on because she secretly still hates him.

Can’t be proved wrong ...

I’d sat it’s more the RINO wing of the Uniparty propaganda ministry. They have more to lose.

Naw, Ivana wouldn’t have agreed to such a controversy-ending statement if that were the case and not the Trump campaign’s style at this point. (Though helpful to get it raised and debunked early.)
