Trump Surrogate: Trump Sacrificed Two Marriages To Create Jobs!

Source: Talking Points Memo

-snip-

During a CNN panel discussion Sunday, Trump surrogate Scottie Nell Hughes defended Trump's comments.

"Mr. Trump was responding to the fact of sacrificing. Nowhere ever did he ever say that his sacrifice was equivalent or more or even close to what the Kahn’s had given up," she said.

CNN host Fredricka Whitfield then asked, "Is creating a job considered a sacrifice?"

"You know what, creating jobs caused him to be at work, which cost him two marriages,” Hughes said in response. “Time away from his family to sit there and invest. Clinton surrogate Bernard Whitman jumped in to say, "infidelity cost him."

He cheated on wife #1 with the woman who became wife #2. And then he was surprised when wife #2 cheated on him with one of the security guys?

When a man leaves his wife for a younger woman, let alone does it twice, it speaks volumes about the character of that man, his insecurities and lack of empathy or willingness to sacrifice to make a relationship flourish and survive at all.

Marriage can be hard work and without constant communication it can and does often end in disaster, but Trump's failed marriages are 100% due to his serial philandering and insecurities about his own abilities as a man - to satisfy a marriage commitment because he never seems to see his wives as anything more than possessions - like cars or planes, toys to show off and grow bored of.

He is a pathetic, insecure, socially deviant miscreant of the highest order. A Talking Yam unfit to hold elective office at any level, let alone the highest level.

Sacrifice? No Tiny hands Donnie, you simply prove yourself dumb as a brick yet again...really good brain and the best words, huh? Might want to start showing off THOSE instead of showing us all your ass over and over again!

Do these people actually understand what they are saying. He lost two marriages by screwing around, so that is the sacrifice. He better not bring up Clinton's blow job in that case. Give me a break.

Demanding a divorce while your wife is hospitalized undergoing cancer treatment, IMO, trumps simply screwing around. But yes, both of them are fine examples of repub family values.

But I absolutely hate the Trump surrogates, particularly the women surrogates. They will say anything. Spin anything. Lie through their teeth and beyond.

I'd have more respect for them if Trump had just left them some money in an envelope on the nightstand as he left in the morning.

He would still be married to the first wife. His broken marriages is his problem. Strange we have not seem Trump follow through on Bill's affair as he said from the beginning. Trump has more to discuss than Bill.
