For now, Trump mocking Dr. Fords story is top of the news at CNN, take a look.

https://www.cnn.com/

Trump thinks he can get away with it. He can try, but he can't. Why? There are literally millions of women who are victims of sexual assault. I am sure they are offended by this attacking of a fellow survivor. The victims know that Dr. Ford is telling the truth. Trump's focus is only his own.

Victims of sexual assault have sympathy with fellow victims. Trump has no sympathy. But victims of this kind of assault never forget it.. The victims will never forget Trump's making fun of one of them. This is major news if it is at the top of CNN. And I suspect Trump will not apologize for this. He never apologizes and that is good for our side.

That was awful too, but there are millions of victims in the country who he insulted and shamed tonight. And he's basically calling for Ford to be harmed, "these people are evil."

I went to parties when I was in. college. I couldn't tell you where they were. I don't remember who I went with or who drove.

even if that means mocking a victim of sexual assault, as long as we don't dig deeper into his taxes.

None of here has the means to dig into his taxes. Thus trying to distract us would be a total waste of time and effort. So I don't think it's his intention to distract. He's just throwing red meat out to his supporters who gobble it up.
