Documenting Trumps Abuse of Women
- snip -
For his 1993 book, The Lost Tycoon, Harry Hurt III acquired Ivanas divorce deposition, in which she stated that Trump raped her.
The part of the book that caused the most controversy concerns Trumps divorce from his first wife, Ivana. Hurt obtained a copy of her sworn divorce deposition, from 1990, in which she stated that, the previous year, her husband had raped her in a fit of rage. In Hurts account, Trump was furious that a scalp reduction operation hed undergone to eliminate a bald spot had been unexpectedly painful. Ivana had recommended the plastic surgeon. In retaliation, Hurt wrote, Trump yanked out a handful of his wifes hair, and then forced himself on her sexually. Afterward, according to the book, she spent the night locked in a bedroom, crying; in the morning, Trump asked her, with menacing casualness, Does it hurt? Trump has denied both the rape allegation and the suggestion that he had a scalp-reduction procedure. Hurt said that the incident, which is detailed in Ivanas deposition, was confirmed by two of her friends.
Hurt held on to his copy of Ivanas sealed deposition for years. It was sworn testimony, he said. But eventually, when he was cleaning house during his own divorce, he said, I threw it all out. He went on, The larger tragedy is that Trump might be elected President of the United States. I never imagined in my wildest nightmares that it would come to this.

It's been discussed hundreds of times on DU, and I assumed it's common knowledge, but I put the vid in the OP for you.

You have to wonder, considering all that happened after, if Obama would do that if he had to do it over.

I agree he never got over the roast, and it was well deserved, but I sure wish Obama hadn't done that.

To those who wish Obama hadn't delivered that narcissistic wound in 2011: just by his very existence Obama "hurt" Trump
