Proud Adulterer Blames Woman For Not Stopping Husband's Adultery

Donald Trump was really proud of himself for not talking about former President Bill Clinton's affair with Monica Lewinsky when he was on the debate stage Monday night.

But it's more than a little awkward he'd allude to an extramarital affair at all.

Trump's attack on Bill Clinton's affair – which Hillary Clinton had nothing to do with–is a bizarre campaign strategy for a man whose own sordid affair captivated the country in 1990. But Trump's calling out Hillary Clinton for her husband's actions is the way Trump has always looked at marriage. Putting the onus on women to stop their husband's affairs is classic Trump. The way he handled his own messy personal life decades ago suggests a disdain for the wronged woman, her husband's philandering a sign of her own shortcomings.



A Vanity Fair story from 1990, gives a lot of insight into how Trump saw the role of his wife and her requirements. The story paints a picture of Trump bullying Ivana for not dressing the right way or spending enough time with the children even as he was reportedly already engaged in an extramarital affair.

The tactics he used in business he now brought home. “Donald began calling Ivana and screaming all the time: ‘You don’t know what you are doing!’ ” one of Ivana’s top assistants told me.................................


Around New York, Trump's budding relationship with 26-year-old Marla Maples was everywhere.................................

He bragged about Marla Maples telling a reporter that he was her "best sex ever", which hit all the papers during the scandal. I'm quite certain that he set up the interview and told her what she should say.

I don't know why some ppl call these kind of men dogs. Dogs are loyal and loving.

Too bad Ivana didn't do that some years back.

HRC: "Outside my family, my marriage is nobody's business but mine. But I'll say this much - I've been married once, we've made it work for more than 40 years, and my wedding vows are intact because I'm true to my word come hell or high water. How 'bout you?"

--But what about Bill's wedding vows, huh?

HRC: "Like I said, none o' your damned business."

Signs of who Donald is were well in evidence back when the Maples affair began.
