1. I'm going to call bullshit on this.

His aides were NOT "shocked." I don't buy that for a second, it is not possible unless it was their first damn day working with the guy.

What we have here is a group of people trying to launder their own reputations. They have chosen to work for this sack of shit, and have been gladly doing so for a long while. But they don't want to pay a price for doing so. Fucking cowards, manipulative opportunists. So when something especially awful hits the spotlight, they leak to reporters that "they were shocked" to try to keep the stink of that moment off of themselves.

To which I say: fuck that! All you aides own this. You know, have always known, exactly what this guy is, and have happily gotten in bed with him. You will never be cleansed of this, stop wasting our time with these lies.
