The Rape Question Was What Got Me And....

I am not seeing anything about it.

Trump was told that a guy's daughter would not join the military because of how many rapes that transpire and he asked what Trump would do about this.

Trump's basic response was that he would make sure the military got real courts. There was nothing about preventing rape or even helping the victims, it was just getting better courts. That would not make me feel safer and I feel it is one of the worst answers he could have given - besides Trump's tweet that Matt read that essentially said what 'geniuses' (sarcasm) the military were and what did they expect when they let men and women serve together?

Holy cow this blew my mind. (both Trump's answer and the tweet) As a rape survivor and victim advocate, this enraged me. Does it enrage anyone else?

The majority of military rapes are men raping men. Neither Trump nor Lauer are informed. They are sniggering imbeciles wearing their vacuous privilege like drunken frat boys.
