Let me make one thing perfectly clear. President-elect Trump is going to be our 45th President and I haven’t seen anything in the media defending his honor in reference to the accusations that Summer Zervos’s claims to have happened. Now Zervos started a lawsuit. Let’s be perfectly clear on this issue. I’m not God and I don’t have all the facts. But here are some facts that I dug up that I’d like to present.

The idea that the media is suppose to defend the president’s honor is hilariously dangerous but thinking that Donald Trump is particularly honorable is flat out hysterical. ---

Assuming your premise that God has forgiven Trump, what does that have to do with a civil trial? Is it your position that all people sued on a civil matter should be forgiven if they confess their sin or just Trump? Also, I should point out that you present few facts and mainly opinion. Oh wait I forgot we’re in the post-truth/fact world. Opinion is fact. ---

I’d never heard of Summer Zervos before this thread, but now that her existence has been brought to my attention, I’ll take her side against Trump. I’m going to assume this outcome was not the OP’s intent. ---

President-elect Trump is going to be our 45th President and I haven’t seen anything in the media defending his honor in reference to the accusations that Summer Zervos’s claims to have happened. Now Zervos started a lawsuit. Yeah, it’s really hard to defend someone from claims of sexual assault when they’re caught bragging on a hot mic about how easy it is to commit sexual assault, and when you have a dozen people or so making the accusations, with non-trivial backing. ---

Read More: [link deleted] OP, are you aware that Loser Donald has said, out loud, in front of a camera, that [he doesn’t ask God for forgiveness because he hasn’t ever done anything wrong?](http://www.newsmax.com/Headline/trump-does-not-ask/2015/07/18/id/657832/) If you’re trying to argue that his slate is clean because God has forgiven him, than the man himself would have to disagree with you, because he doesn’t think the slate was ever dirty to begin with. (It’s the cleanest anyone’s ever seen. OK? Trust me. I got a call the other day from a cleaning person, very successful, best in the business, he told me, Mr. Trump, we’ve never seen anything as clean as your slate.) Loser Donald doesn’t _have_ any honor to be defended. He’s an egocentric narcissist who only cares about himself. He has no use for other people except to take their money and to bamboozle them into thinking he’s as rich and smart and wonderful as he thinks he is in his own mind, because he’s psychologically incapable of dealing with the idea of being thought of as a loser (which is what he is). ---

He may be a morally bankrupt idiot that believes in conspiracy theories, has no verbal filter, and is entirely incapable of sincere humility or ignoring an insult. But it’s hard to call someone elected to the office of POTUS as “loser”. More likely, “person who didn’t deserve to win”. ---

I’m going to go ahead and close this as the OP seems to not be returning. If they’d like to expand on the idea and return please contact and we’ll consider reopening. [/ moderating]
