[quote=SK in CV][quote=bearishgurl]SK, you must be aware that Machado, by virtue of her vitriolic attack on a US presidential candidate just ~44 days before the general election and just 45 days after she herself became a US citizen is fair game. She is a 39-year old adult who put herself out there! The fact that she did it at the behest of the Clinton campaign is irrelevant to whether her “testimony” about her experience with DJT ~20 years ago is credible . . . or not. Her words will be judged against her demeanor, any video and print “evidence” out there to corroborate her story or past history and her own track record. She has no protection and the Clinton campaign certainly can’t offer her any.
If she can’t take the heat that SHE created, she should have never walked into the kitchen to begin with. When you make a Faustian deal with the devil, sometimes you end up inadvertently selling your soul. Just ask your candidate, HRC.[/quote]
Wrong answer. What I asked is why it’s pertinent. Trump humiliated her. His response is to attempt to humiliate her again. Any decent human being would apologize. But then, based on his response, and yours, neither of you are decent human beings. There’s no reason to dispute it based on me not knowing you. You’ve told us who you are. You think it’s ok for men to humiliate women, and then humiliate them again when their called on it.
And you really shouldn’t use phrases you don’t understand. There was nothing that fits the definition of a faustian bargain in your candidates horrendous behavior.[/quote]Trump doesn’t owe anyone an apology. It is actually Machado who owes the apology. She’s the one who came out of the woodwork and publicly and viciously attacked Trump out of the blue after ~20 years. She never indicated back in 1997 that she was displeased with Trump’s treatment of her. She actually accepted his gracious gift of gym memberships and trainers to help her get back in shape at the time.
The “Faustian bargain” refers to the several that HRC made with her so-called “spouse” over the years. Certainly, you knew that. But maybe not. Maybe you’re not as smart as I originally thought you were, SK.
