Someone please explain to me why this upcoming presidential election has turned into a tabloid sideshow where the candidates rarely mention the overwhelming problems this country faces? Now that we have pretty much established that Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton will face off in November, shouldn’t we start to see these two putting forth their visions of what they see for this country and why we should vote for them? Since Ted Cruz and John Kasich exited the race and Bernie Sanders continues to rack up wins knowing full well that he is just spinning his wheels, why have we not heard one story on something substantive?
I thought perhaps that the meeting between Paul Ryan and Trump would saturate the news for days. Initially it did, and reporters were waiting with baited breath and iPhones, ready to report on what came out of that meeting. But that was short-lived, because within hours the rumors started to fly that Jeff Bezos at the Washington Post had formed a “hit squad” of 20 top reporters to look into “every aspect of Donald Trump’s past.” They were not going to leave one stone unturned until they found out all of Trump’s “deepest and darkest” secrets. What they should have said was that they were going to dig into every single encounter he had ever had with women, going back to his elementary school days.
The Democrats know that in this year’s election they don’t have anything to talk about except this made-up and false “war on women.” They have to push and push that narrative and discredit Trump because they can’t point to anything they have been successful at for the last eight years. What are they going to do – praise the booming economy? Point to overwhelming job creation, success in the Middle East and stability around the world? How about more racial harmony and less violence or more prosperity for middle-class Americans? They can’t talk about any of that because the truth is the American people are worse off than they were eight years ago. End of story. So they have nothing to go after except the women’s issue.
This past weekend the New York Times did a “uuuge” story on Donald Trump with the headline “Crossing the line: How Donald Trump behaved with women in private.” Really? This is what we’re talking about? Digging up interviews with women from Trump’s past when he was a private businessman is not going to matter to most except the most rabid Trump haters and left-wing feminists.
I read the piece and was absolutely gobsmacked that this passed for journalism. The accounts of what Trump “supposedly” did or said to these women was nothing more than any of us as females have dealt with for decades. The difference is, we either call guys out on their remarks or shrug it off. Trust me, being an actress and performer for over 50 years, I have seen and heard everything and so has every other woman who has chosen a career in the entertainment industry, or any industry for that matter. It happens everywhere, in every business, and most of the time it leads to absolutely nothing. Most of the things Trump supposedly said were actually complimentary of a woman’s looks or sex appeal. Maybe it was said in a rather blatant way, but it was tame compared to what I and other professional women have heard. I was told by a producer in the ’80s that I would have to get breast augmentation if I wanted a part in his series. He did not want flat-chested women in the show. I declined, and someone else got the job. Overheard by my husband, who is a director, was a comment about a brilliant, Academy Award winning actress a “female” studio head was deciding to hire for a film. In the screening room, this executive was debating the issue because the actress’ face was filled with wrinkles, and her “a–” had dropped! This is life, this is business, and this is the way it is.
When did we get so sensitive to everything that is said? We are not talking about rape or assault or taking sexual advantage of a young intern here. In other words, we are not talking about Bill Clinton. Remember how the left was so adamant that the right was making the Monica Lewinsky sex scandal a “big deal out of nothing”? Remember how when woman after woman came forward with proof that they had been assaulted, raped or had carried on long-term affairs with Clinton that it was “just sex”? Remember Sidney Blumenthal who put “hits” out on all these women to control the “bimbo eruptions”? Remember how the press, along with Hillary Clinton, smeared, demeaned and degraded these women for coming forward to speak out against the treatment they had received from her husband?
The truth is even worse than what you thought. “Hillary: The Other Woman,” the explosive new book exposing the horrible history of Bill and Hillary Clinton. Available now at the WND Superstore. Or get Kindle version and start reading today!
Donald Trump is a virtual amateur when it comes to the abuse of women. From what they have uncovered so far, he has done nothing to compare to Bill Clinton. The humiliation and national scrutiny Clinton’s women had to endure was far greater than anything Trump has done. So far, the worst thing Trump has done is call someone “fat,” “unattractive” or some other insensitive phrase. I don’t see anyone coming forward with rape allegations. Both Bill and Hillary Clinton destroyed women’s lives and made them live in fear for the rest of their lives; Trump has done none of that.
Bill Clinton was lionized by the media for his sexual exploits, and no one even now is hiring a platoon of reporters to look into his or Hillary’s indiscretions. Very few papers even elaborate on the recent story about the Clinton Foundation and the woman named the “energizer bunny” who would visit Bill at the Chappaqua house. Why is that not worthy of a story – because everyone already knows about Bill Clinton? Well, I have news: Everyone knows about Donald Trump, too, and they don’t really care.
I will never forget the time I was invited to the Clinton White House along with a group of other young Hollywood actresses. When he came down to meet us, you could see he was in “hog heaven,” and I remember that when we were introduced he checked out my anatomy long before he looked into my eyes.
