During a meeting with Japan Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, President Donald Trump doubled down on his tweet dismissing the latest sexual misconduct allegations against Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh.

“It’s just a con game. He’s a high quality person. They’re bringing people out of the woods. They can do that to anybody. They can do it to anybody other than perhaps Prime Minister Abe because he’s so pure. But they can do it to anybody, what they are doing. And It’s really, really sad,” Trump said about accusations against Kavanaugh. “If you look at this lawyer that just came out, he’s a low-life. He represented Democrats. Nobody ever talks about that. He’s a Democrat lawyer. Not a very good one. but he’s a Democrat lawyer. It’s a horrible con game.”

When asked if he thinks the women making the accusations against Kavanaugh are lying, Trump asked to move on to the next question.

  1. Pretty rich, considering that it is coming from the Master of Horrible Con Games…

    Doesn’t the dotard have a toadstool to polish?

    Edit: Assuming he can still find it…

  2. He represented Democrats.

    Actually, he represented the pron star who said you have a tiny d*ck.

    Just so we’re clear…

  3. When the confirmation falls apart, and it does seem that it will have to now, Trump’s going to be very very angry – which means he’s going to shift around for someone to blame. This is what Trump does, it’s his MO, and this time Kavanaugh’s going to be it.

    Ah poetic justice. Both Kavanaugh and Trump will lose on the Court seat, and Kavanaugh will be chump change around DC for the rest of his natural life. No one will touch him, and he’ll lose his seat on the Court of Appeals too. Maybe. Hopefully.

    Whom the gods would destroy, they first make mad.

  4. They can do it to anybody other than perhaps Prime Minister Abe because he’s so pure. But they can do it to anybody, what they are doing. And It’s really, really sad,

    Sad, indeed. There aren’t enough WTF’s in the world to do this man justice.

    The most pure thing about Trump is his brain, because it’s solidified into a solid lump after going unused for seven decades. The McDonalds grease gives it an extra shine and keeps it in mint condition.
