Trump Goes After Avenatti Over Kavanaugh Accuser: ‘Total Low-Life!’

Start your day with TPM.

Avenatti is a third rate lawyer who is good at making false accusations, like he did on me and like he is now doing on Judge Brett Kavanaugh. He is just looking for attention and doesn’t want people to look at his past record and relationships – a total low-life!

Low-life, huh?

“I moved on her, actually. You know, she was down on Palm Beach. I moved on her, and I failed. I’ll admit it. I did try and fuck her. She was married. And I moved on her very heavily. I moved on her like a bitch. But I couldn’t get there. And she was married. Then all of a sudden I see her, she’s now got the big phony tits and everything. She’s totally changed her look. I better use some Tic Tacs just in case I start kissing her. You know, I’m automatically attracted to beautiful — I just start kissing them. It’s like a magnet. Just kiss. I don’t even wait. And when you’re a star, they let you do it. You can do anything. Grab ’em by the pussy. You can do anything.”

The President of the United States of America

Trump is going to go there and question Avenatti’s past relationships?? The same Trump with 3 marriages and multiple infidelities. Wow, that’s rich. And we have a Trump news conference today at 5 pm. I just made an Instacart order for popcorn and a bottle of wine (The conference is at 5 pm, so the wine’s legit, right?)

Huh, Donny… what “false” accusations did he make about you? Something about having and NDA that was fishy? Something about looking at the path of the money from you/Trump Org to Cohen’s shell company to Daniels?

Ya - this is just like that. Thanks for the reminder.

So, are you burning more from the international laughing at you moment at the UN yesterday, or your ~~get out of jail free card~~ supreme court nominee going down in ignoble flames?
