Who would think the president of the United States would have to deny abusing children.

I understand why he's protesting the characterization by the alleged gunman. Doesn't mean I necessarily believe him, but the protesting of it in that context seems logical. I would scream and yell "fuck that, I am no such thing!" in that situation as well

(12,777 posts)Applied directly to him? The reporter had read the line about how the shooter was going after all the administration immediately before pedo Trump spoke up to deny something she had not accused him of.
Yeah, we all need to defend the psychopath in charge. God forbid we miss characterize a proven sexual abuser.

(3,985 posts)It makes sense in the context to say "no I'm not" because Trump knows people are accusing him of this extremely widely, and he was asked to respond to what the shooter wrote.
There's a billion misdeeds to tear him down over, I'm not convinced this is a particularly logical angle with which to do so, but to each their own.
CROOK,
