Discussion: Donald Trump's Ex-Girlfriend Says NYT 'Spun' Her Comments About Him

What’s the big deal ? Don’t you always offer female guests a swimsuit to change into when they come to visit wearing a dress ?

“He made a comment, ‘Now that’s a stunning Trump girl right there,’ I was actually flattered by,”

(sigh)

The NYT didn’t spin anything. You just didn’t understand that you were being demeaned.

Between the lines: “It worked! I told the truth about the way Donald treated me, and the New York Times printed it Then, Donald called me and offered me a whole bunch of money to say it wasn’t true. Like clockwork!”

The general media needs to be extraordinarily vigilant in vetting stories - for the next 6 months Trump’s extended network is going to be feeding the media a wide variety of “Trojan Horse” - “Scoops” - stuff that might initially look juicy - but when printed & scrutinized - crumbles & swings around and is used as a way to slam the media. …
basically “Hello media! - watch what you swallow - you are dealing with forces that want to poison you!”

Drumpf follows the old rules of business: “If it flies, floats or fucks, rent don’t buy.”

You know, that’s a very arrogant position to take. The subtext of your statment is that a woman is too stupid to know the substance of her own experience of something. If she didn’t feel demeaned, she is experiencing false consciouness. After all, she’s just a dumb model, right?

It wasn’t generalizing about models in any way. With his long history of demeaning woman, I thought the comment appropriate.

The article filled in another puzzle piece about how Trump’s opinion of women starts with their appearance. Only bring in the pretty ones to take lunch orders, comment on ‘candy’ when a top person in his group gains weight, make remarks like isn’t my 16-year-old daughter hot.

To paraphrase the brilliant Dr. King: I have a dream that my daughters and sisters will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the shape of their body, but by the content of their character.

I am a 68 year-old woman and when I read the NYT piece I didn’t find what was described by her to be demeaning. He didn’t stand there and watch her change into the bathing suit…he has a pool, he’s rich, and he keeps bathing suits in case people come unprepared. So what?

And the “Stunning Trump girl” comment is old fashioned and not PC, but demeaning? Only by someone who is looking to be demeaned. Sounds like she liked the comment.

Trumps problems with women are legion, but this is not a good example of it.

She is lying. A reporter doesn’t put into an article an event that did not occur. It has to be in the reporter’s notes, which obviously it was.

You are assuming she is now telling the truth.

Trump has destroyed his brand. You look at him now and you just see a sleazy, slimy out of control loud mouth.

The evolution of their ‘relationship’ is what demeaned her. I think how I would like my daughter to be treated in a similar situation. I didn’t read into what she said… I read the article and it seems like Trump knows what women could add value to his life, and uses them. He just does it with more sexist comments than do other men.
