This is by far the most egregious lie this "man" has ever said! He owes my state an apology!

[Heartstrings]

All those "people" still drunk on trump need to sober the fuck up!

[LakeArenal]

1. I'm so embarrassed by Mr Lake's hometown.

Not surprised though.

47% - 47% State. Scary sad.

[InAbLuEsTaTe]

2. Scary sad is right!!

Bernie & Elizabeth 2020!!!
Welcome to the revolution!!!

[D_Master81]

36. Less scary

Less scary than here where trump got 63% of the vote in my county

[malaise]

3. He owes women and hospital folks an apology

This should be the #1 item on the news - is is offensive beyond belief and it is a fucking lie.

[George II]

9. He owes humanity an apology, followed by an immediate resignation.

[malaise]

15. So do his parents

[busterbrown]

23. I always wondered the effect Fred..

had on him.. I betcha he's a huge part of the Puzzle... Why is Trump so idiotic to to the point of extreme mental illness?

[malaise]

34. Both parents I think

the women hatred must have links to his mother.
My mother always told us not to date men who had a bad relationship with their mother or sisters.

[duhneece]

37. I hadn't really thought of that

Whether his looking down on women is directly from his dad looking down on trump’s mom or his mother was a monster...whichever.

[mercuryblues]

42. My mom told me

to watch how a man treats his mother, he'll treat you the same way.

[tymorial]

53. Oh that's not always the truth.

If a boy was repeatedly abused by his mother, he may exhibit extreme devotion to her while simultaneously harboring deep resentment and misogyny towards other women in general. The later man's abusive actions towards women outside of his immediate family act as a surrogate for his abuser.

Observe how men treat women in service positions or female coworkers. My college roommate was emotionally and psychologically abused by his mother. He was always devoted to her but man he was nasty and awful to his girlfriends. I couldn't stand the guy but I saw what she said to him once when she didn't know I was in the other room. She said he was a worthless loser who was just like his father. It was heartbreaking

[malaise]

57. That is also true - abused children often become

abusers. Young men also learn how to treat or not treat women from their fathers.
On the other hand devotion is often more about duty than love.

[malaise]

56. It's the absolute truth

[llmart]

51. I wish somebody would have told me that when I was a young woman.

I can attest to what your mother said. I married a man who hated his mother and on a much smaller level, he has a lot of the characteristics of trump. Now I tell young women that - do not marry a man who hates his mother.

[malaise]

55. That was one of the best pieces of advice my mom gave all her children

Can't imagine living with a mother hater with the Con's characteristics. The good news is you escaped.

[llmart]

58. I don't know if my mother would have given me any advice on marriage.

I often wonder if she would have. She and my father had a pretty awful marriage. She died when I was a teenager.

The worst traits weren't as evident when he was a young man, but as he aged the things that were wrong with him were exacerbated by getting older. I was married a very long time. But hey, it's never too late to learn I guess. I have a peaceful and content life now.

[nicehuman16]

11. This needs major news attention

You are right. This needs to be debunked on prime time network news and called out for the despicable lie that it is.

[malaise]

43. Where are the American Medical Association

The Association of Gynecologists, hospitals in General, Planned Parenthood and the Mothers of America.

Of all his lies and disgusting comments, this one is up there among the most vile.

[PoindexterOglethorpe]

4. Of course Trump's bullshit claim fits the narrative

that women just casually have abortions because the mood strikes them. Sort of like buying a pair of earrings, an impulse item that is meaningless.

One of the ways you can tell that men have never been pregnant is that they buy into this sort of crap. So do some women, who should absolutely know better.

When I was pregnant with my first I had pretty severe morning sickness, enough that I lost weight in the first trimester. I remember thinking, if I have a miscarriage I don't know if I'd be willing to get pregnant again. It was that bad. But I didn't have a miscarriage, went on to have a healthy baby, some four years later had another baby. The morning sickness the second time wasn't as bad, lucky me.

[Shrike47]

12. I had what we called toxemia, pretty bad, the first time. Had to think about the second time.

My health got so bad after the second kid, I had to have a hysterectomy in my 20’s. I wish men who oppose abortion could be pregnant for a few years. A-holes.

[busterbrown]

24. I think it takes a hell of a lot of Courage...

to go through the physical part of it all.. Not to mention the mental... My God!

Husbands sure get the easy part of it in comparison..

[Mariana]

25. I had gestational diabetes.

My baby and I came out of it fine, but I wasn't willing to go through it again.

[Ohiogal]

27. I had a 36 hour labor with my first son.

I’d like to see any man go through that.

Afterwards I felt like I’d been run over by a Mack truck.

[PoindexterOglethorpe]

30. Yes. And any woman who has a second child,

even if both pregnancies and birth experiences were the easiest possible, she still gets up the next day and takes care of the brand new baby AND the older child. There is not a man on the planet who could manage that.

Many years ago, when I was a ticket agent at National Airport in Washington DC, our evening flight to somewhere (don't recall the city and it doesn't matter) cancelled, and I was rebooking passengers for the morning flight. One of my passengers was an army officer (can't recall his rank, it probably doesn't matter, but I'm guessing he was a colonel) was based at Ft. Belvoir, which is a bit south of the airport, just beyond Mt. Vernon. The important thing is that the public bus ran there. I rebooked him and told him to take the bus back home and we'd see him in the morning. He refused. Said the bus wasn't safe. Excuse me? I took the public bus every single day between my apartment in Alexandria, VA, to the airport. I worked an afternoon shift so I was going home late at night, 10:30pm, usually later. Sometimes at 1 or 2 am if flights were really delayed.

This is someone I'm supposed to expect will protect me if our nation is invaded or in some sort of national emergency? Really? When this happened I was maybe 25 years old. A woman. A small woman. Who took public transportation at all hours of the day and night. And this man, twice my age, significantly bigger than me, was afraid to take the bus. What is wrong with this picture.

I wound up giving him a taxi voucher. The asshole.

Oh, and have you ever noticed that it's men, not women, who are afraid of shots and needles?

[Ohiogal]

41. You've got to be kidding me.

I somehow wonder if he just refused to take the bus because he felt that bus travel was beneath him, so he came up with that lame excuse. Although .... you never know. ..... I've always felt that if you went through the whole pregnancy and delivery thing, you could handle anything .... your body is violated, poked, prodded, exposed, felt up, monitored, etc. etc. until you feel as though it's not even your own anymore. When I had that 36-hour labor, every intern in the whole hospital probably stuck his or her fingers up my you know where to check my dilation. Your last molecule of modesty just gets pitched right out the door. I wondered if they were going to let the janitor walking past my room with a bucket and a mop the opportunity to check my dilation.

For this reason, it infuriates me that men ... who know nothing, NOTHING, about what it's like to go through pregnancy and birth, to even THINK they have the right to make laws forcing us to do so! Maybe other women have had better experiences than I had, but it sure wasn't like it is in the movies. Five minute labor, husband at the wife's side holding her hand, one big push, boom, here's the baby, tears of joy. Uh uh. And, your body just isn't the same once you've done it. It just isn't. No woman should be forced to go through with pregnancy and birth, for whatever reason. I firmly believe that. And for Trump to insinuate that women just decide on a whim to kill a live baby like they would decide to step on a spider, is patently insulting and ridiculous. I surely hope some medical groups or hospital groups push way back loud and long on this horrid man's dangerous lies.

[PoindexterOglethorpe]

44. Yeah, he probably did think it was beneath him.

But the bullshit excuse that he didn't think he'd be safe on the bus outraged me.

[malaise]

35. So did one of my sisters and that baby was fine but what would have been

her third child and only daughter never made it.

[mountain grammy]

5. This is sick. He is sick. His fans are sick.

Stupid and sick.

[happybird]

6. What a lying piece of shit

This makes me so frickin' angry.

He's not really even "pro-life," or he wasn't till he decided to run as an R. How convenient. He's just pandering to his nutjob evangelical and rabidly misogynist base, and that makes it even worse (if it can possibly be worse or more offensive).

[smirkymonkey]

14. +1000

I am so angry I could spit nails right now. We all know he is a shameless liar, but this is beyond the pale. How fucking dare he!

[Qutzupalotl]

7. In the far right's eyes, abortion equals infanticide,

so the Trump followers probably wouldn’t care about the difference.

And Trump doesn’t care that it outrages both sides. Anything to distract from talk of impeachment.

[happybird]

8. He's been particularly nutty the past week,

even for him.
You're right: distract, distract, distract.

[orleans]

32. how can you possibly say that when

he's such a young, vibrant man?


( )

[Honeycombe8]

10. Senator Cassidy (a doctor) of Louisiana is also pushing this.

It seems to be a coordinated attack on abortion, since they weren't getting traction using truth.

Present abortion as killing live newborns.
The economy is great (say whatever you have to) / tax cuts
The wall/immigrants

So far, that's what I pick up as their "strategery."

[bobbieinok]

46. It's about NY law that says newborns who can't survive can be allowed to die

And proposed VA law.

Newborns who can't survive. No horrifically painful attempts to 'save' them.

There is a massive GOTV for 2020 to convince evil Democrats, ie, 'Satanic baby-killers' are murdering babies.

Guests and hosts on recent YouTube videos of the JimBakker show are pushing this hard, holding newborns ad saying 'see, this is what they will kill if we don't vote'!

An extremely emotional push!

[Honeycombe8]

47. I think it's about partial birth abortion. If that's still allowed.

It was controversial. It is disturbing to read about it, although there are medical reasons for it.

But I'm not sure what they're referring to.

[bluecollar2]

13. Maybe someone should sue him in court

For defamation or some other legal pretext...

Hold that son of a bitch accountable for his statements.

[yuiyoshida]

16. Donald J. Trump

is fucking asshole, and deserves to be in prison.

[NastyRiffraff]

17. He insulted any mother who has lost a newborn

and suffered unspeakable pain. He tells her it's her fault, and her doctor's. You can't get lower than that. He's a monster.

[PoindexterOglethorpe]

31. Yes.

I cannot imagine that pain. I've known some women who have been through that. As you say, it's unspeakable pain.

[The Blue Flower]

18. A window on a horrific, monstrous mind

These words strung together to create such a monstrous, murderous, psychopathic thought, should convince the world that he should be locked up and never allowed in civil society.

[Botany]

21. So mothers and doctors murder healthy new born ...

... full term babies? Beyond sick and twisted.

Btw I wonder how many abortions Donny has paid for?

This is all gaslighting in order to distract from the facts of Trump/Russia/rigged election.

[hedda_foil]

29. I hope Cohen spills the beans on all the abortions the creep has paid for.

With cancelled checks and non disclosure agreements to show for it.

[Blue Owl]

19. For a sitting president to say such a thing...

Is so beyond preposterous.

Where is the outrage that the so-called leader of our country would tell such a bald-faced lie???

[Orrex]

20. Every day that he doesn't suffer a massive, debilitating stroke is a day wasted

[dlk]

22. Trump is a Twisted and Very Sick Man

Just when it appears he can’t say or do anything more vile...

[FailureToCommunicate]

26. Hating Trump, I've heard, can be very corrosive for the soul...so I've decided to

spread my hatred around to his entire legion of enablers in Congress, many Republicans, and his crazed cult of supporters and apologists across this entire country.

There, that helps.

[Collimator]

28. Note the words, "They wrap the baby beautifully."

Whatshisface is using that phrase to indicate a pretty picture of sentimentality. Except that he also described a piece of chocolate cake as beautiful.

He was probably more sincere about the cake.

[notinkansas]

33. I have an issue with the apology thing

There is absolutely!! nothing that 'man' could say to atone for such a statement.

[ehrnst]

38. The sick, twisted, pornographically gory fantasies these people have about women

have always scared me about them.

[democrank]

39. I'm trying to write something that adequately expresses my outrage.

I can’t find the words, except that Donald Trump is a dangerous, dangerous, dangerous man.

[rkleinberger]

40. It is not just a lie, it is immoral and evil to state something like this.

I hope the medical profession responds to this. And the yahoos are cheering him on. What sickos!

[WillParkinson]

45. He owes the nation an apology...

Every Republican who supports his insanity does too.

[spanone]

48. He's subhuman

[ck4829]

49. K&R

[DinahMoeHum]

50. Trump's mother should've had an abortion. . .

. . .instead, we are stuck with this fat, foul-mouthed POS and subhumanity.

[Initech]

52. Someone is going to get killed over this.

Not like Donny and his dangerous rhetoric have taken lives before.

[Lifelong Protester]

54. Bad man.

I can't think of words to describe him and his antics.
