"Sometimes I say I have two boys at home," she said. "I have my young son and I have my husband. I know how some men talk and that's how I saw it."
During her interview with CNN’s Anderson Cooper, the GOP candidate’s wife was asked about Trump’s comments, with Melania Trump complaining that Trump had been “egged on” by Bush, and that she had never heard him speak that way.
“I heard many different stuff — boys talk,” she told Cooper.
“The boys, the way they talk when they grow up and they want to sometimes show each other, ‘Oh, this and that’ and talking about the girls. But yes, I was surprised, of course.”
Those words set people off.

Funny thing about Trump's so-called "bullying"... most of what I've seen called "bullying" on the part of Trump is a direct response -- albeit an insulting response -- to the initial insults of others to him. That's not bullying. That's a level playing field.
Spousal abuse? Really??? Do tell...

I'm sure somebody wrote those words for her.
Because, when she had to think on her feet, so to speak, use her own head, she didn't say anything like that at all.
AC: It was 10 days ago that Access Hollywood released that tape, I'm wondering when you first saw it, when you first heard it, what did you think?
MT: I said to my husband that the language is inappropriate, it's not acceptable...
AC: He described it as locker room talk, to you, you've sort of alluded to that, is that what it is to you as well? Just locker room talk?
MT: Yeah, it's kind of two teenage boys, actually they should behave better, right?

MT: ...And as you can see from the tape, the cameras were not on. It was only a mic, and I wonder if they even knew that the mic was on, because they were kind of a boy talk, and he was led on, like egged on, from the host to say dirty and bad stuff.
AC: You feel the host, Billy Bush, was sort of egging him on?
MT: Yes. yes.
AC: Is that sort of language you've heard him use before?
MT: No, no that's why I was surprised because I said like, "I don't know that person that would talk that way," and that he would say that kind of stuff in private. I heard many different stuff, boys talk, the boys that the way they talk when they grow up and they wanna, sometimes show each other oh this and that and talking about the girls. But, yeah I was surprised, of course. But I was not surprised that the tape came out. I was not surprised about that.

1983: Sex and Makeup “Men have been talking about sex in locker rooms since they were 14. While women were discussing ‘feminine’ things — makeup, relationships, feelings —men were doing the manly things — counting conquests, keeping score.” (Redbook, 1983)
1991: Women as Objects “Conversations that affirm a traditional masculine identity dominate, and these include talk about women as objects, homophobic talk, and talk that is very aggressive and hostile towards women.” (Sociology of Sport Journal, 1991)
BS! Trump thrives on thinking up insults and blasting degrading and dignity ripping barbs and slurs across the internet and the media!
We always have a great marriage and strong relationship, and he said many times that I'm a rock for the whole family. And yes we are very strong. We are two independent people thinking on their own and have a very open conversation, and I think that's very healthy for the relationship.
You're sure about that, huh?

That's your proof for spousal abuse?
Melania doesn't have that power.
She stepped up to the plate and called out the bad behavior for what it is, publicly and unequivocally.
Melania has said and done far more than any other politician's wife in a similar position, and as much as she can do.
At no time have you stated anything more that she could have done, or anything that she could have done better. Nor have you offered any politician's wife as a better example of how she could have done better.
YOU are doing more to hurt women than Melania has ever done.
I'll say it again, hypocritical Melania Trump is effectively pulling women's rights and struggles for equality back to the 1950s. And, not in a good way!
LOL, so typical! When you can't say anything else, pull out the 'ole "But Hillary"! adage!
