Donald Trump on Wednesday defended his decision to use Bill Clinton to attack Democratic rival Hillary Clinton and said that his recent comments may have prompted the former Secretary of State not to mention Trump on the trail again.

During a rally in South Carolina, Trump noted that Clinton has “been hitting me really hard with the woman card.” Clinton last week said that Trump has demonstrated a penchant for sexism.” In response to her comment, Trump criticized former President Bill Clinton, alluding to the Monica Lewinsky scandal.

On Wednesday, Trump brought up Bill Clinton again, suggesting that the real estate mogul’s comments about the former president effectively stopped Hillary Clinton from mentioning Trump.

He noted that he had brought up Bill Clinton’s “abuse of women” and that, “now today the television is going crazy.” According to Trump, Hillary Clinton did not mention him on Wednesday.

“I wonder why,” Trump told the crowd in South Carolina.

The billionaire also said he would “love, love, love” to see a woman become president, but said that it “can’t be her,” arguing that women don’t like Hillary Clinton.

  1. HELOO SKANK Trump. How many time has this MALE-hoe been married? And a DADDY-DEAREST that wants to bed down his own daughter. I’d say SKANKY-TRUMP, be careful where you tread. And again how many times has TRUMP failed at MARRIAGE??? This is the BIG LEAGUES SKANK!

  2. Keep hitting Trump on sexism, Hillary. He’s weak there.

    But also only about once a week. Apparently, it’s driving him crazy that she’s not talking about him on a daily basis.

  4. How many times have you remarried Donald? I lost count. How many times have you fooled around in adultery before you divorced and got remarried? You are such a great example of marriage. /snark.Don’t throw stones in glass houses.

    And by the way,Secretary Clinton was a victim of her husband’s philandering and not the one going out and fooling around. She stood by her man and worked on fixing their marriage which is to be commended.

  5. I can’t wait for Hillary to unload all her dry powder on him… he’ll squeal like a sounder of sows and it’ll be so god damned funny.
