"Don't look at me!"

Ivana Trump once accused the real estate tycoon of ‘rape,’ although she later clarified: not in the ‘criminal sense.’ Donald Trump introduced his presidential campaign to the world with a slur against Mexican immigrants, accusing them of being “rapists” and bringing crime into the country.
“I mean somebody’s doing it!…Who’s doing the raping?” Donald Trump said, when asked to defend his characterization.
It was an unfortunate turn of phrase for Trump—in more ways than one. Not only does the current front-runner for the Republican presidential nomination have a history of controversial remarks about sexual assault, but as it turns out, his ex-wife Ivana Trump once used “rape” to describe an incident between them in 1989. She later said she felt “violated” by the experience.

Thanks for your comments.
In today’s NY Daily News, Ivana is totally on board with the Donald:
“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,” she said.
“Incidentally, I think he would make an incredible president,” Ivana Trump, who divorced her husband in 1992, added.

Can't wait for the Megyn Kelly mea culpa later on tonight. Oh wait, only "right-wingers" are supposed to apologize.
Amazing fact: this entire story went from birth to death in that twilight zone between news cycles - from Monday night post-Levin to Tuesday pre-Rush. It was pounded into the ground without any assist necessary. That is something that should scare the devil out of the MSM, Dummycrat and RINO establishment.
Very salient observation.
Thank you, my friend. I am in generally good health, but there is a bit of lingering fatigue. I probably just need more
exercise, and I’m building up toward treadmill walking (so Bryan and I can go hiking again) and weight lifting.
We do have a gym in the basement, but for a long time, I have not had the stamina to use it. I’m hoping that the last few
chemo sessions will put an end to all my problems. My hair is growing back, but it’s short and I look a lot like a lesbian,
but in another couple of years, I may have enough hair to look like a woman again.
This treatment takes a year, and another four months of estrogen suppression, so I’ll be AOK by next Spring, God willing.

Just a day after allegations reemerged that Donald Trump raped his ex-wife, Ivana Trump, the bombastic billionaire?s former spouse played down the controversy, saying that the two are still "the best of friends."

You are so wrong....BREAKING NEWS:
Ivana just told news media the story is COMPLETE NONSENSE!
Boy, do you look foolish and hypocritical now.
But I still admire you are above average intelligent poster.
Ivana Trump rejects rape allegations, says she and Donald Trump are ‘the best of friends’
You’re absolutely right.
I can’t imagine why anyone would think she’s any kind of “Conservative.”
I think your wet diapers are getting to your brain. You call me a Liberal? I am 80 years old and have been a staunch conservative since 1952, worked hard on the Goldwater campaign and then many conservatives afterward.
You say I don’t understand military terminology. I served 2 years in the Army.... did you serve?
Oh that is the best news ever....80! Great news. Thank you for brightening my day.
Oh and by the way you are still and idiot for believing the Ivana story last night. Feel like a fool this morning I bet. At 80, you really shouldn’t be that gullible. In at least 20 years all will be great.
Many assumed Ivana was lying. I did not. I wanted to hear it from her first and now that we have, we can conclude that the story was just a hit piece. Ivana must be a forgiving woman, because judging from the legal reasons given for the divorce, she was ill treated.
The condescending and chauvinistic remarks against Ivana on this thread (not accusing you of those) were contemptible.
Now that she has refuted the story, you’d think she was the Virgin Mary or similar.
She works for Trump. I expect if she went after him, she'd become an ex-employee. It's possible there are any number of people (other than Trump) waiting to hire someone for a high-level position whose principal qualifications are (1) being Trump's ex-wife and (2) being willing to hold back on telling the world what a dirtbag he is. I'd probably not risk my job if I were her.
Meanwhile, coming up on 50, Megyn sees a conga line of new Fox babes where she was just 15 years ago.
Like I always say, live by the cleavage, die by the cleavage.
The Ex has already dismissed the divorce war hysteria, and supports Trump in his efforts.

Gotta love Primary season... never a dull moment.
I don’t see why she would bring the topic up when the mainstream media will do her bidding.
A lot has happened since July when that thread was posted. But you’re right, some MSM will do what they can for her.
"Don't look at me!"
Not that it will penetrate the incoherency in the linked article but;
