CNN host Jake Tapper recently confronted Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump about how his three marriages were morally justified if he only believed in so-called traditional marriage values.
After the U.S. Supreme Court effectively legalized same-sex marriage on Friday, Trump accused Chief Justice John Roberts of letting the country down.
Although the candidate has said his views are evolving, his campaign position is that only traditional marriage between a man and a woman should be legal.
CNNs Tapper asked Trump if he could justify his view on marriage in an interview that aired on Sunday.
What do you say to a lesbian whos married or a gay man whos married who says, Donald Trump, whats traditional about being married three times?' Tapper wondered.

(9,350 posts)There are many people around the world that work harder than Donald Trump. Many of those people have not been married three times, nor have they cheated on their spouse(s).
So, what is it with Republican men that they always blame everyone and everything else for their failed marriages? They are always too hard working, or too patroitic and that causes them to cheat on their wives and get married and divorced multiple times. If they cannot figure out how to juggle their work and their marriages maybe they should not run for President. If they could not keep their marriages together when they were not President how are they supposed to do so once they become President?

The one thing he DOES work hard and excel at is bankrupting whatever he touches and being a lying, cheating, clownish blowhard. Everything he got was thanks to his father.

Well, they have a very good point, Trump admitted. But Ive been a very hardworking person. And actually, I have a great marriage, I have a great wife now. My [first] two wives were very good.
If you work real hard, you get extra wives. Especially if you are rich.
What a non-answer. But illuminating as to the mindset of the 1%.

How in the BLUE HELL can anyone who owns CASINOS, which are guaranteed money-spinning machines - go broke, much less three times???
That takes a very "special" kind of talent.

(65,616 posts)I bet a lot of us have a hard time with it, we that know because (gosh) we actually read what Jesus Christ believed!
Another reason to make sure we do all we can to keep the GOP out of as many political offices as possible. They don't even know the core teachings of the New Testment! So how in the world can we expect them to run something as elaborate as government!?
We can't! And we don't want them to!

(15,224 posts)The comment is attributed to Cousin Brucie, the radio dj, who said that with regard to Trump's run for the presidency, he was sure that the Donald would not be doing Celebrity Apprentice next year.
He went on to say that he was definitely sure that the Donald WOULD be doing Celebrity Apprentice the following year.

(42,885 posts)Trump wasn't working so hard that he couldn't find time to cheat on his first wife for a couple of years. That's the reason for his first divorce, not "working" 22 hours a day.
The guy is pure comedy gold.
He works 24/7 at being a (Donald Trump voice) LOOOSER.

(9,350 posts)The part about marriages is most relevant to Donald Trump. His marriages have lasted more than a month, but as the original story says he has been married multiple times.
