If any voters had forgotten that Donald J. Trump was accused by multiple women of sexual misconduct, he spent roughly 45 minutes reminding them on Friday, eight weeks before Election Day.

At a lectern in the lobby of Trump Tower, Mr. Trump, flanked by seven of his lawyers, laid out years-old allegations from the women in detail as he denied that they were telling the truth. He had just attended a federal appeals court hearing related to a civil case in which he was found liable of sexually abusing and defaming a New York writer, E. Jean Carroll, decades earlier. Mr. Trump was not required to attend the hearing, but decided he wanted to.

When the hearing was over, he went to his eponymous building for what the Republican presidential nominee’s campaign called a “press conference.” But he ended it without taking questions, and the session — during which Mr. Trump criticized his rival, Vice President Kamala Harris, for avoiding reporters — was more like a venting exercise over his frustrations about his legal travails.

    Fucking wild. Absolutely demented. Hilarious watching him trash his own lawyer who was standing right next to him though.

    These people that work with him and expect anything but to absolutely get shit on should be ashamed of themselves. First, for working with a wannabe fascist dictator and all around POS. Second, for debasing themselves and allowing him to insult them all so readily, frequently, and publicly.

      "Some of you should be ashamed of yourselves,” he told reporters. “Thank you very much everybody.”

      Jesus Christ who ends a speech that way, let alone a presidential nominee. The press deserves all the shit they get for giving him the attention he craves.

        I like the term I first read today, “sanewashing.”

        Journalistic neutrality standards are good things when reporting on ambiguity, but you can’t give equal deference to both delusional and sane individuals.

      Any strategist who suggested this event needs to quit their job and rethink their life. Of course I am kidding, Trump’s strategists are awful and he won’t listen to them anyway. What an absolutely bonkers own goal.

    Is Trump trying to get sued for defamation again?

      It doesn’t matter because he was never made to pay for the first one yet.

        It was an official act as part of his presidency, he should be immune.

          Also he can time travel to perform official acts of sexual assault.

    With everything that has been going on with Trump, it’s pretty wild to me that any woman would even consider voting for this guy.

      Any woman who eagerly votes for him in this election is: a) an idiot, b) lives in an impenetrable bubble of right wing media, or c) utterly loathes themselves. Though I guess those options aren’t mutually exclusive.

    Trump’s ego: If there’s one thing women love, it’s being insulted for having an opinion.

      And if any of you women don’t understand why I’m happy to sit down and explain it to you. I booked the conference room for two hours and have an in depth power point presentation on why you feel like you do - and I’ll use really small words since I know you’re easily confused. /s
