Donald Trump is once again raising former President Bill Clinton’s marital infidelities, a preview of how the billionaire businessman is likely to respond to general-election attacks from Democratic front-runner Hillary Clinton and her allies about his treatment of women.
Speaking at a rally Saturday in Spokane, Washington, Trump repeatedly assailed the woman he’s dubbed “Crooked Hillary” while hardly sparing former Republicans rivals repulsed by his chokehold on their party’s presidential nomination.
“She’s married to a man who was the worst abuser of women in the history of politics,” Trump said of Clinton as he addressed supporters at the Spokane Convention Centre just days after becoming the presumptive Republican nominee.
Trump appeared to be responding to news that Priorities USA, the lead super PAC backing Clinton, has already reserved $91 million in television advertising that will start next month. Much of the negative advertising against Trump is expected to focus on belittling statements he’s made about women in the past.
But Trump declared Saturday, “Two can play that game.”

Deriding a culture of political correctness in which, he says, men are “petrified to speak to women anymore,” Trump also defended himself as a great supporter of women and sought to downplay past comments he’s made about women in venues like the Howard Stern radio show in the days before he was a politician. He said some were made in the name of entertainment, while others, like his criticism of actress and talk show host Rosie O’Donnell, were warranted.
“Who the hell wouldn’t speak badly about Rosie O’Donnell? She’s terrible,” he said.
The remarks were a continuation of attacks that Trump rolled out on Friday evening in Oregon. That night he also tore into Sen. Elizabeth Warren, the Massachusetts
Emotional Abuse can be categorized as a form of bullying. For all cases, emotional violence and its consequences are severe both for the perpetrator and the victim. What Is Emotional Abuse?
Emotional abuse is a form of abuse which encompasses psychological or mental mistreatment of one person at the hands of another. Despite its serious and harmful nature, it is often under-reported and downplayed due to its subtle nature, and can include any sort of chronic behavior that causes mental distress or emotional trauma that jeopardizes the psychological well-being of another person.
