Tom Arnold said the worst part to him of the tapes he wouldnt release was how Trump

called his own son "retarded".

I dont recall which son, I could listen to the interview again, it was Tom Arnold interviewing Martin Mull and they talked about the tapes.

He said Trump used all the bad language one would expect of an ass like him but that was the worst, but yes to the N word and so on.

I wonder, would it have mattered? Does it matter that Manafort's own daughter says he is guilty of murder?

Is half of this country so racist, so misogynist and Islamophobic, homophobic, that any behavour is OK as long as that person is on their side?

I think Rosie had mentioned this before...

Wonder why Barron has not been seen since Jan 20th?

Two totally different things. If your child was autistic and you didn't know the difference between retardation and autism, that really shows a lack of giving a crap about your kid - not taking the time to learn about his illness. When I first saw Barron, I admit the first thing that popped into my mind was "oh, he's autistic." I do not think that is an insult at all to call someone autistic - unless it bothers them, of course. Trump has talked about autism, and supposedly thinks that vaccinations cause autism.

His father won't even discuss it...in his eyes, his son is imperfect, even though he is as very bright and smart...
This is how Trump thinks...

I believe, further, that Trump blames Melania for their child's "imperfection". Someone like Trump wouldn't be able to admit that his (own) DNA wouldn't be "perfect".

This is either some bizarre bluffing extortion attempt against Trump, or he wants to become relevant again. Either way, the clown college is missing a student.
