Latest Trump accusation has Lake Tahoe connection
By Josh Lederman and Jill Colvin, AP
GETTYSBURG, Pa. – Steering his campaign toward controversy yet again, Donald Trump vowed Saturday to sue every woman who has accused him of sexual assault or other inappropriate behavior. He called them “liars” whose allegations he blamed Democrats for orchestrating.
Trump’s blunt threat of legal action eclipsed his planned focus on serious-minded policy during a speech in Gettysburg. Though his campaign had billed the speech as a chance for Trump to lay out a to-do list for his first 100 days as president, he seemed unable to restrain himself from re-litigating grievances with Hillary Clinton, the media and especially the women who have come forward in recent days.
“All of these liars will be sued once the election is over,” Trump said. He added later: “I look so forward to doing that.”
Nearly a dozen women have publicly accused Trump of unwanted advances or sexual assault in the weeks since a 2005 recording emerged in which the former reality TV star boasted of kissing women and groping their genitals without their consent.
The latest came on Saturday, when an adult film actress said the billionaire kissed her and two other women on the lips “without asking for permission” when they met him after the American Century Championship celebrity tournament at Edgewood Tahoe in 2006.
According to the tournament’s archives, Trump played in the 2006 ACC as an amateur. He finished with minus-16 points in the Modified Stableford format, good for 62nd place.
Trump has denied all the allegations, while insisting some of the women weren’t attractive enough for him to want to pursue.
“Every woman lied when they came forward to hurt my campaign,” he said. Without offering evidence, he surmised that Clinton or the Democratic National Committee had put the women up to it.
Speaking to reporters aboard her campaign plane, Clinton said: “I saw where our opponent Donald Trump went to Gettysburg, one of the most extraordinary places in American history, and basically said if he’s president he’ll spend his time suing women who have made charges against him based on his behavior.” She also said the suggestion that Democrats or her campaign were encouraging women to level accusations against Trump “inaccurate.”
Trump’s broadside against the women came at the start of an otherwise substantive speech that sought to weave the many policy ideas he has put forward into a single, cohesive agenda that he said he would pursue aggressively during his first three months in office.
Too old to hide behind mama’s skirts and, for most of his “adult” life, being able to pretty much buy anyone and anything, he has a long history of beating his enemies by simply paying to outlawyer them.
I’ve been predicting for months that he’d eventually end this entire adventure of his by hiding behind his lawyers; contributing to a defense fund for these courageous women would be money honorably spent.

Well said Tom.
Sorry Kae. Unintended circumstances, and all that.
JUST IMAGINE?
Had to re-read Tom’s choices/comments and it all makes a lot of common-sense this election year. We do need a change of command in Washington-DC. Think about it Folks? If the other side can get away with all those accusations/truths; just imagine what she could get away with as President! ….Hmm..??

All those reasons above are why this country is so ready for a new candidate unfortunately Trump is such a flawed person he probably falls short. Imagine if it was someone like a Rubio who was an outsider with business success etc. It might be a very different situation.
