Trump the wife abuser?

Ivana Trump’s assertion of “rape” came in a deposition—part of the early ’90s divorce case between the Trumps, and revealed in the 1993 book Lost Tycoon: The Many Lives of Donald J. Trump.

The book, by former Texas Monthly and Newsweek reporter Harry Hurt III, described a harrowing scene. After a painful scalp reduction surgery to remove a bald spot, Donald Trump confronted his then-wife, who had previously used the same plastic surgeon.

“Your fu**ing doctor has ruined me!” Trump cried.

What followed was a “violent assault,” according to Lost Tycoon. Donald held back Ivana’s arms and began to pull out fistfuls of hair from her scalp, as if to mirror the pain he felt from his own operation. He tore off her clothes and unzipped his pants.

“Then he jams his penis inside her for the first time in more than sixteen months. Ivana is terrified… It is a violent assault,” Hurt writes. “According to versions she repeats to some of her closest confidantes, ‘he raped me.’”

Following the incident, Ivana ran upstairs, hid behind a locked door, and remained there “crying for the rest of night.” When she returned to the master bedroom in the morning, he was there.

“As she looks in horror at the ripped-out hair scattered all over the bed, he glares at her and asks with menacing casualness: ‘Does it hurt?’” Hurt writes.

Ivana later came forward to deny that any "rape" happened, but I didn't see any denial of the hair-pulling incident.

The divorce was granted on the grounds of “cruel and inhuman treatment” of Ivana. She also has been issued a gag order that bars her from discussing her marriage to Trump without his permission.

1. one example of the many times this has been mentioned here:

3. Okay

I should have guessed it's been mentioned before.

[Gabi Hayes]

5. no prob....just hyping my own thread, in which he's been currently being

accused of RAPING a 13 year old girl, who has a witness. the case has been filed in court

have you read about that?

if not, aren't you surprised about not having heard of such a serious accusation?

and why hasn't it EVER been mentioned on TV?

remember what they did to Clinton about his supposed rapes. those have been brought up again during this campaign, yet not WORD one about this active case, awaiting dispensation.

7. I heard about it

I'm not sure it will go anywhere since the case was first thrown out in California, but we'll see!

8. there are serious issues with some maniac who might be behind it, but the suit

in New York has a proper lawyer (she tried to file it herself in Cal), and she now has been able to get the witness to come forward, which didn't happen the first time

if this is true, he should have to pay gajillions. unfortunately no crime can be assigned.

if she's lying, well, in this case, I'll give her some money just for having the nerve to try it. the witness, though, was CLEARLY on the inside of the Epstein gang, so I'm inclined to believe her.

have you heard about that guy, how he got off with a wrist slap, and how there's a case pending against whoever signed off on the plea bargain, filed by the victims who were not, according to the LAW, supposed to have been allowed to see the plea bargain? it's under consideration at the moment

10. I need to read more about it

... because you're mentioning some details that I haven't seen or heard yet!

[Gabi Hayes]

14. if you read the thread, I think all the links I've come across, and there are many,

will be included. just skim through and you'll find them

2. Spouses with DV issues aren't selective.

I was concerned that Trump would take out his bad judgment on the plagiarism for Melania's speech out on her the way he transferred his ire from Ivana's plastic surgeon onto her. And Melania wasn't seen in public for a few days after the Monday speech.

4. To turn around Trump's statements about Bernie's expression at the DNC

I thought Melania looked miserable during Trump's acceptance speech while his kids were shown standing up and cheering.

11. I also wondered whether they were waiting for bruises to heal. nt

13. That could have been her choice

I have a feeling she isn't like his first wife. I think she has more control over him. She doesn't looked intimidated or cowed by him. I wouldn't blame her for refusing to participate in his vanity campaign.

6. That doesn't sound like

the kind of abuse story someone would make up, but we'll never know.

[Gabi Hayes]

9. and, according to what I've seen, she got 'only' 25 million for her trouble.

contrast that with Michael Jordan, speilberg, tiger woods, and others, who lost hundreds of millions......

[PatSeg]

12. Yeah

Its starting to sound really ugly.
