Let us be clear:
We would love to focus solely on issues that truly impact the nation when discussing the Presidential Debate that aired from St. Louis on Sunday night.
But if the candidates themselves are not going to do so, well…
… here we go then:
Melania Trump wore a blouse to the event that was affixed with a “pussy-bow.”
This is not our language or our description. It is the official description of the item from Gucci, from whom Trump purchased the $ 1,100 ensemble.
Here. See for yourself:
We’re not being juvenile for the sake of being juvenile here.
Melania’s famous husband, Donald Trump, was forced to defend himself early and often at the debate when it came to a video that went viral on Friday afternoon.
It was filmed in 2005 and it depicted a conversation between Trump and Access Hollywood co-host Billy Bush.
As they drove to the set of Days of Our Lives, Trump bragged about his sexual triumphs and sexual philosophy to Bush.
Among the many lewd and disgusting comments Trump made at the time?
“When you’re a star… you can do anything [to women]. Grab them by the pussy. You can do anything.”
Yeah.
So you can perhaps see why the Internet was up in shocked arms by the outfit Melania (who reportedly refused to do a TV appearance with her husband after the comments went public) chose to wear.
Donald Trump also boasted about attempting to seduce a married woman in the leaked footage; Access Hollywood has since identified as Nancy O’Dell.
A spokesperson for the Trump campaign told CBS News Sunday night that the former model’s shirt choice “was not intentional.”
Which is hilarious, that the campaign had to comment on the pussy-bow donned by its candidate’s wife.
Trump issued a defiant apology late Friday night after this video threatened to truly sink his campaign.
“I never said I’m a perfect person nor pretended to be someone that I’m not,” says in the following video.
“I’ve said and done things I regret and the words released today on the more than decade-old video are one of them. Anyone who knows me knows these words don’t reflect who I am. I said it, I was wrong and I apologize.”
Watch for yourself:
As for the Internet’s take on Melania Trump’s choice of shirts?
As you might expect, it did not disappoint…
And also:
Although Melania attended the debate last night, she did condemn her husband’s lewd remarks.
“The words my husband used are unacceptable and offensive to me,” she said in a statement Saturday.
“This does not represent the man that I know. He has the heart and mind of a leader. I hope people will accept his apology, as I have.”
