Donald Trump has deranged meltdown about Kavanaugh accuser Deborah Ramirez
Last night Donald Trump finally began directly attacking Dr. Christine Blasey Ford, the first woman to come forward with sexual assault accusations against Trump’s Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh. Palmer Report wrote at the time that this was likely to quickly get worse. Sure enough, Trump is now attacking Kavanaugh’s second accuser Deborah Ramirez in rather deranged fashion.
Donald Trump was supposed to be representing the United States at the UN today, and suffice it to say that it didn’t go well, as numerous representatives from other nations literally laughed out loud at him while he was bragging during his speech. Somewhere in there, Trump decided to begin attacking Ramirez to a group of reporters. Trump said that Ramirez can’t be believed because “she admits that she was drunk.” This is, of course, one of the most common excuses that rapists and rape apologists like to fall back on. Then it got worse.
Trump then more or less began making fun of Deborah Ramirez’s accusations, sarcastically saying “Oh gee, let’s not make him a Supreme Court judge because of that.” So not only is he attacking Ramirez, he seems to think this whole thing is funny. Of course we all know what’s really going on here: Trump is projecting, because he’s accused of doing many of the same things that Kavanaugh is accused of doing.
Roughly twenty women have accused Donald Trump of various forms of sexual assault and sexual harassment. Now that Trump sees so many women coming forward to accuse Brett Kavanaugh of similar crimes, and seeking to have the FBI investigate all of it for potential criminal prosecution, Trump is realizing that he could end up facing the same fate.
