Trump doesn't have a lock on this kind of disrespect for a spouse. Lest we forget, there was a candidate from our side who publicly humiliated his wife on stage in front of a massive crowd for a victory speech, brushing her back and barking "don't stand next to me."

I recall having been so shocked by that moment that it left an indelible mark.

There are 10,000 things to be appalled about with Trump. But let's not be hypocritical here. There have been worse things done to wives than walking in front of them. It's crass, but then he's not alone in that.
