President Donald Trump’s shocking defense of a champion boxer who raped a teenage girl has resurfaced as the president faces intense scrutiny of his relationship with accused sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein.

In a 1992 clip from Late Night with David Letterman being circulated online, the future president tells the show’s host that he doesn’t think Mike Tyson ought to have been sentenced to six years in jail for the rape of beauty pageant contestant Desiree Washington, who was just 18 years old at the time.

“It’s ridiculous,” Trump says, referencing the fact the crime took place late at night after Washington had been “dancing” for Tyson.

Trump then suggested that a more fitting punishment would have been for the boxer to serve less time and pay monetary restitution to “rape victims” in general.

1. I suppose if nothin else shitbird is consistent in his view that the rich should be able to do whatever the fuck they

want, to whoever they want to do it to, and if society complains, they should be able to buy their way out of it.

Just a privileged-ass motherfucker, to the core of his being, that one

2. This stuff has been around for literally decades...

Yet, there sits the sh*tbird, perched in the highest elected office in the land for the second time. At this time it says more about Americans than it does about Marmalade Tito.

3. Because in TACO land, a fine or "settlement" is the fee the wealthy and powerful pay to do whatevert the hell they want.

4. Money is all that matters to a psychopath...

It buys attention and the ability to dodge consequences.

Having it or not having it is as close as they can come to actual emotions.
