Trump on sexual assault in the military

Basically said, What do you expect when you put women in with men? (despite more men than women being sexually assaulted in the military.) He said we should keep the chain of command in the military, but then pondered why so few people are prosecuted for sexual assault.

I think this is the big thing he stepped in tonight

Lauer used Trump's tweets against him.

On that question, he proved that he doesn't understand the problems, including the hierarchical command largely structure ignoring it.

I'm not buying the 'more men than women being sexually assaulted' line. I know women that did try to pursue action but were stopped by their CO (?)

Maybe a asteroid the size of a school bus will fall on this slimy fuck and we can get back to reality.
