Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump criticized Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton in an interview aired Sunday and called her husband and former President Bill Clinton “an abuser.”

Trump has taken jabs at Bill’s infidelities in recent weeks. Hillary commented on Trump’s attacks Sunday and said that it was his prerogative to “engage in personal attacks from the past.”

Trump didn’t let up during an interview with NBC’s “Meet the Press” and mentioned the reports of sexual abuse against Bill.

“She’s married to an abuser,” Trump said. “A woman claimed rape, and all sorts of things. I mean, horrible things.”

Host Chuck Todd moved the conversation toward whether it was appropriate for him to attack Bill over his infidelities. Todd noted that Trump’s first divorce was “all over the tabloids.”

“But, you know what?” Trump responded. “I wasn’t the President of the United States. And I wasn’t dealing in the Oval Office, all right? A big difference. I wasn’t the President. And my first wife thinks I’m great.”

    So Trump is admitting he was an abuser…he just wasn’t in the Oval Office at the time, so that makes it okay?

    Hmmm I suppose that logic works for his base.

  2. Says the guy who rapes his wife and wants to (or has) had sex with his own kid.

    The best thing for HRC and Bill is to ignore him.

  4. This is the worst kind of softball, let Donald be Donald, Sunday morning non news. Todd doesn’t dare to include the specifics of the messy divorce which was “all over the tabloids” for fear of not getting Trumpet back again. He will happily let Trumpenstein get away with saying “And my first wife thinks I’m great” when in reality she’s scared shitless of saying anything different for fear she’ll lose the money and real estate she got in the divorce.

    Todd didn’t ask the questions about Trump’s long ago bromance with Clinton, and there are pics to prove it including at the wedding to the Third Mrs. Trump and at the golf course with a number of prominent people. This is a total Todd failure and you can see his lip prints all over Trumpet’s fat ass.

  5. Publicly, Ivana thinks Trump is great because he pays her alimony – and her fortunes are tied to him. He also knows her secrets.
