“During a deposition given by me in connection with my matrimonial case, I stated that my husband had raped me,” the Ivana Trump statement said. “[O]n 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.”
The statement, according to a “Notice to the Reader” in the book, “does not contradict or invalidate any information contained in this book.”.........
The Daily Mail - Ivana once claimed Donald Trump 'violated' her in violent sex attack amid argument over bald patch treatments
".....However, the Daily Beast's article claims they received more from Cohen than the Trumps' standard line on the incident.
The piece written by reporters Tim Mak and Brandy Zadrozny saw Cohen explode with statements such as: 'You write a story that has Mr. Trump’s name in it, with the word ''rape,'' and I’m going to mess your life up…for as long as you’re on this frickin’ planet…you’re going to have judgments against you, so much money, you’ll never know how to get out from underneath it'.'
'And I will come after your Daily Beast and everybody else that you possibly know,' Cohen reportedly told the outlet. 'So I’m warning you, tread very f****** lightly, because what I’m going to do to you is going to be f****** disgusting. You understand me?' the Daily Beast quotes him as saying at another point.
'So you do whatever you want. You want to ruin your life at the age of 20? You do that, and I’ll be happy to serve it right up to you,' he allegedly said. .......
On Hannity - Donald Trump's Special Counsel: He's Going to Be the Republican Candidate
"... Cohen said that the liberal media is going after Trump right now for drawing attention to illegal immigration and the failures of the Department of Veterans Affairs.
"What the media is doing is they're looking to divide," Cohen said. "They're looking to make Mr. Trump into the outsider, which by the way he is. He's not a politico. He's a mega-billionaire real estate developer, celebrity, author, movie star, etc. That's what he is. He's not a politico. And they're afraid."
"Donald Trump's going to be the Republican candidate.".....
American Thinker - Bi-polarizing Trump
.......Trump clearly said in 2009 he identified more as a Democrat on the economic crash--and he doubled down on the sentiment this weekend.
There’s more. He took the liberal union thug talking points book and aimed many of those same arguments right at Scott Walker, saying that “Wisconsin is in turmoil.” He went on to clarify, telling a boisterous crowd in Iowa that the state’s “roads, schools and hospitals, which he said were all a disaster.” Let me translate: Scott Walker screwed up Wisconsin by going after the unions.
So is Trump working for Richard Trumka or the SEIU now? I mean, this is right out of the union hall. It’s going after Walker from the left. So Trump was angry for some comments made by a Walker fundraiser? That’s no excuse for firing from the liberal flank, and frankly, a bit childish too. But my main concern is the liberalism thing, which has been exposed again.
So how will this play out? Will Trump’s legion of fans take note? Will talkers like Rush and Laura Ingraham mention this? They seem singularly focused on just Trumps good points. That’s a valid, but incomplete focus. It is not contradictory to support and enjoy his stabs at Washington--while also realizing in the sober moment that he is not the conservative answer.
Donald Trump is gifted. He is passionate. He has a finger on the pulse at the moment. It’s doubtful that conservatives need to nominate someone who has been pro Obama and pro Universal Care as recently as a few years ago--and to the left of George W. Bush this weekend."
This is what Scott Walker wants, his supporters smearing Don Trump over some 25 year old story?
The huffington post is reporting what was written by another journalist in another newspaper? This is how today’s journalists operate?
You forgot this...Whoops

The 1993 book, by author Harry Hurt III, includes a statement from Ivana Trump stating that she referred to the sexual encounter in question “as a ‘rape’, but I do not want my words to be interpreted in a literal or criminal sense.”.
People like talking trash in divorce. She probably was a woman scorned who wanted Trump to pay more than money in the divorce.
Notice her children work with him. I think in this case it is BS because raping and beating mom is a turn off for children IMO.
Was there ever police reports regarding this issue especially before she wanted a divorce?
With great wealth always comes other people trying to get at it.
When????
'So I’m warning you, tread very f****** lightly, because what I’m going to do to you is going to be f****** disgusting. You understand me?'Sounds like a rape threat.
“During a deposition given by me in connection with my matrimonial case, I stated that my husband had raped me,” the Ivana Trump statement said. “[O]n 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.

Wasn’t there some sort of rape accusation against Reagan back in the day?
It won’t matter to his supporters. They’ll say that Trump is going to destroy the GOP and that’s what is important. The fact that that helps the Democrats fill the void won’t bother them because they’re so pure in their conservatism that they support Trump, a man who has financially supported Democrats and been recently a member of their party.
What next, an investigation of Trump’s church? Or an investigation of his birth certificate? Or a demand to see his college records?
Dang, I despise the media
Every high-money contested divorce involves rape and assault allegations - we’re talking millions of dollars at stake here. Find me a police report on it, or a history of it with other women.
FORCEing anyone to have sex is RAPE... man women child or even animal..
Rape is aggression not sex..
Some rape is even statutory.. Bully’s need “love to” SOooo they TAKE IT....
In a just world rapists would be HUNG!.. ending “A” cycle.. i.e. Bill Cosby..
Our one-party political system as been “rape-raping” (thanks Whoopi) us for many generations.
Rape gaffes only hurt when the whole campaign is a mild mannered Huckabee or Todd Akin.
A flamboyant candidate who is just berating everyone will not be hurt by anything like this.
I doubt he raped her but a man can definitely be charged with raping his wife.
Looks like the establishmedia are pulling out all the stops to stop Trump. Must be nice to be on the same side as Huffpo.
Pray America is waking
curious, we know so much more of Trump in few weeks that we know of Obama in years....
This is all a smoke screen. Like the Dem candidates can’t drive drunk off a bridge, leave a woman to die and still shine like a saint in their eyes. Trump isn’t my first choice, but I will be danged if I fall for this.
Who knew that someone at the Daily Beast had a library card? Uncovered???????
