            Yes, but the implication that he heard 8 years old + thought to still call her beautiful and cute. Not that he made a gaff and was then informed.

              Have you never heard an 8 year old child called ‘cute’ or ‘beautiful’ in a nonsexual way? I’m not saying that was Trump’s intention or not, but given there’s actual allegations of him raping a 13 year old, maybe we should focus on that rather than easily misinterpreted statements?

                Congratulations, you just defended a pedo without any good reason. You failed so completely at recognising context and objective facts that the only thing you managed to do is show everyone that you’re either a pedo apologist, so fucking dumb you shouldn’t be able to write or both of those things.

                Well that’s the thing, when you have a known pedophile say shit like this, that fact tends to affect how those things get interpreted.

                Yes, in person from a family member. Not from a stranger hearing a voice of a child for the first time. This isn’t a phone sex line and is NORAD’s Santa line as stated.

                This event is building into the overall narrative of Trump. Yes, he probably did rape a 13 year old and my comments aren’t taking away from that. This is a sign of this thought process. He hears a child, visualizes the child, and makes a creepy remark that he feels is ok.

                  And like you say: even if in this case he might not have intended it to sound creepy, him being a stranger saying this to a child instantly makes it creepy.

    “Eight? A bit old for me…but you’ll do.” said the -very obvious but still unregistered- child rapist.

    Maybe she reminds Trump of the grandbaby he had killed and thrown in Lake Michigan. This baby was a result of his many child rapes.

    Things an 80 year old man should never say.

      A stranger calling a child they don’t know “beautiful and cute” sounds off regardless of the age, honestly.
