Donald Trump is accused of raping his first wife, Ivana, and you say: > [@Donald Trump accused of marital rape](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/donald-trump-accused-of-marital-rape/726371/16): > > And, far more importantly, 'oo givee rat’s ass, if the victim was Ivana Trump? All good and decent Americans would like to see her raped **to death** on live national television Who in the world says shit like this? What the fuck is wrong with you? ---

Sounds like sarcasm. Either way, weak Pitting. ---

No, I’m totally on board with this pitting. That was disgusting. I can unequivocally say I don’t want to see anyone get raped to death on TV. Nope, not even Hitler. Ugh. ---

I pretty much spit out my coffee when I saw that post. I initially assumed it was supposed to be sarcasm, but it didn’t make much sense. If it’s serious, then it’s absolutely fucked up. ---

I really searched hoping to find some contextual clues that point to [really fucking tone-deaf] sarcasm on **BG** ’s part, but I couldn’t find any. I’ll echo the OP: WTF? ---

It doesn’t come off like sarcasm, if that’s what was meant. And even if it was…ugh. ---

Ivana obviously hurt **BG** very badly. Details? ---

I assumed it was failed sarcasm on the basis that I couldn’t see any other reason for it, but some explanation from **BG** would be awfully nice. I mean, who hates Ivana Trump that much? My recollection of her is as a vaguely pointless celebrity based on her association with The Donald, which in itself is a bad enough punishment for whatever sins she may have committed. Did I miss a memo in which she was revealed to have committed genocide or drowned several dozen kittens or something? ---

Even as sarcasm, it’s just waaaaaay out of bounds. Rape just isn’t something to joke about. ETA: **BG** followed up with “then again, all good and decent Americans would like to see the exact same thing only worse happen to The Donald himself.” The hell you say. I wouldn’t even want to see that happen to GWB or Darth Cheney, and I’ve got way more reasons to want to see bad shit happen to them. But I’m thinking more along the lines of a war-crimes trial in The Hague, followed by a long prison sentence. Without being raped there. ---

Isn’t this a thing he does, from time to time? Say things that are the worst things? I keep better track of the fact that I think people are insane than the reasons I think they’re insane, but I’m pretty sure he’s insane. ---

Yeah, there’s just something about **BG** I can never quite peg. Most other long-term Doper, I know more or less what they’re about, but there’s something about **BrainGlutton’s** thought process that makes it almost completely opaque to me. ---

Wow. I hope that was some terribly misguided attempt at a joke. I mean, sometimes you throw a 55 foot breaking ball and end up hitting your catcher in the nuts. It would be good to get some clarification. ---

> [@Jimmy\_Chitwood](#): > > Isn’t this a thing he does, from time to time? Say things that are the worst things? Cite? This seems to me totally out of character of BG. My first thought reading it was hacked or drunk. I hope he shows his face here to explain what it was he was thinking. ---

I’m not even that good and decent an American and I DON’T want that fate for anyone, never mind any of the Trumps including The Short Fingered Vulgarian himself. Certain imaginary characters, I can see that, but not actual people. [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/brainglutton-wtf/726399.md?page=2)
