White House Refuses To Say That Trump Believes The Women Who Accused Rob Porter of Domestic Violence

"SNIP.........

Q: Does the president believe the women?

Sanders: Again, the president takes all of these accusations very seriously. He believes in due process. Above everything else, he supports the victims ever any type of violence and certainly would condemn any violence.

Q: But we still heard him say that himself.

Sanders: The president dictated that to me comments yesterday which I read out to you.

The White House refuses to publicly support the women
Moral leadership is absent in this administration. It would have been simple for Trump to state that he believes the women and that no one will work in his administration that has been accused of domestic violence. This is a really low hurdle to clear. Just say that you don’t support violence against women.

...........SNIP"

But Trump said yesterday "Canada isn't treating us right" on trade.

Dotard may actually believe Porter’s ex-wives. I also think it would follow that he thinks they had it coming and since women are only of value when they are serving men and behaving themselves, getting a beating is just how it goes. He may well believe them and it just doesn’t matter to him.
