Donald Trump's scandalous statements about women caused a wave of loud talk and outrage. His wife Melania did not stand aside and commented on this situation. She believes that her husband was provoked to such speeches.
Donald Trump's scandalous statements
Donald Trump is a bright personality and not entirely unambiguous. The American president often allows himself too much in his statements. One of his interviews caused a wide resonance in society. In November 2016, Donald Trump's dialogue with the famous American TV presenter Billy Bush was published. At that time, the future president was far from politics, but everyone knew him as a very successful businessman.
The scandalous conversation took place in an informal atmosphere, in the locker room. Trump admitted to the interlocutor that he molested a married woman. She did not want to make contact with him, but he showed persistence, repeatedly tried to seduce her. Trump said that billionaires and very rich people, stars can quite afford such liberties. He said about women: "I just go up and kiss them. When you are a star, you are allowed to."
Such statements caused great outrage. Trump was condemned not only by ordinary people, but also by serious politicians. His main rival, Hillary Clinton, also spoke out on this topic. She stated that such a person should not be allowed to power.
How Donald Trump assessed his comments
After the publication of the scandalous interview, Donald Trump said that everything he said was not serious and in fact he did not think so. A little later, when even supporters began to oppose him, and the Republicans offered to replace him in the upcoming elections with a more worthy one, Trump nevertheless apologized and promised never to say such things again.
The US President was outraged that this video was published and called it a provocation. He believes that in this way the opponents want to undermine the credibility of the current head of state. In an interview, Trump lost his temper and very emotionally stated that other politicians were involved in even dirtier scandals. For example, the American Juanita Broadrick accused the US President Bill Clinton of rape and claimed that Hillary Clinton had threatened her. Brodick's charges were not reviewed by the court, but the story turned out to be very unpleasant.
It should be noted that not only the interviews of 2005 can be regarded as compromising evidence against the president. Donald Trump had many other statements that the public took negatively. Employees of the CNN TV channel made a selection of quotes from the Republican leader. A total of 18 audio files were collected. These recordings clearly demonstrate that Trump is fluent enough to communicate on sensitive topics. He confessed to journalist Howard Stern that he "likes to grab women by their private parts" and also "prefers younger women." According to the president, the best age for the fair sex is 30, and he considers those who have crossed this line to be old.
The billionaire even discussed his daughter Ivanka's figure in public, touching on breast size. Trump admitted that he had many women, but declined to answer the question of whether he entered into an affair with the participants in the Miss Universe pageant, which he sponsored on an ongoing basis and was on the jury.
Melania Trump comments
Melania Trump is a very wise and sensible woman. Almost always, she tries to smooth out rough edges, but at the same time remains on the side of her husband. In this situation, the reaction of the President's wife was expected. Melania stated that Donald was provoked. She said it was "boys' talk." According to her version, Trump was pushed to say dirty and not very decent words about women.
Melania admitted that her husband can sometimes say too much, exaggerate a little, talking about his victories on the love front. But he allows all this in private conversations. The wife of the American president assures that her husband has never been like this and these conversations should not be taken seriously. But, of course, this whole situation is not entirely pleasant to her, given that they got married in 2005, when the interview was recorded.
Melania noticed that cameras were not visible on the scandalous recording. There are only microphones, but Trump might not have known they were on. She also stressed that this record is more than 10 years old and at that time her husband was not president, was far from politics. Then he could afford such an oversight, but this does not mean that he would do the same now.
Melania tries not to interfere in political intrigues, but in this situation she expressed her opinion. The spouse of the president believes that drawing attention to these conversations is nothing more than someone's game. Opponents and competitors in this way try to divert attention from the real merits of her husband and the problems in the country that they managed to solve.
