After a federal judge - on Tuesday, October 16th, 2018 - dismissed porn star Stormy Daniels' defamation lawsuit against the "misogynist-in-chief," Trump viciously slurred the woman he allegedly had an extra-marital sexual encounter with in 2006. Trump has been known over the years for abusing women with venomous insults off his toxic tongue and via ruthless and reckless tweets. In his latest offensive remarks towards Daniels on Twitter, Trump labeled the adult film actress..."Horseface."
Trump actually referred to a woman as "Horseface." And yet my Republican readers will undoubtedly chastise me for calling Trump a "lunatic scumbucket." He deserves to be designated with a much worse moniker than that.
I know I shouldn't be shocked (and I'm not) that Trump would be so repugnant, but it's still mind-boggling to think that the president of the United States could be so vile. But of course he's done it over and over again. Donald Trump is an embarrassment and a disgrace to the American flag and to the Constitution that he has sworn to uphold.

Trump's former attorney, Michael Cohen, paid Daniels - whose real name is Stephanie Clifford - $130,000 in hush money prior to the presidential election in order to keep her lips zipped about the fling Daniels allegedly had with Trump just weeks after his wife, Melania, gave birth to their son, Barron.
Daniels insists she spent one night with Trump where intercourse was performed. Trump denies having sex with Daniels. But then, Trump lied about knowing about the money that was paid to Daniels. Lawyer Cohen - known in the past as Trump's "fixer" - testified on August 21st, 2018 before a judge in federal court that Trump "directed" him to pay Daniels the big bucks as a campaign expense to influence the 2016 election. Cohen admitted under oath that he was fully aware he was committing a crime by obeying an order from "Individual-1 (who) had become the president of the United States" in January 2017. Legal scholars say Cohen's allegations make Trump himself an "unindicted co-conspirator." Trump has called Cohen a liar.
In my column two years ago on September 29th, 2016, titled NO WOMAN SHOULD VOTE FOR DONALD TRUMP, I wrote..."Donald Trump's misogynistic and sexist slurs have been endless. His nauseating and obscene remarks have not been spewed just throughout Campaign 2016, but for many, many years."
In a 2005 appearance with radio personality Howard Stern, Trump ranked actress Nicollette Sheridan in a disparaging way. "A person who's flat-chested is hard to be a 10."
In a 2006 television interview that aired on sister celebrity programs Entertainment Tonight and The Insider, Trump callously called actress Rosie O'Donnell "disgusting. I mean both inside and out." And when she was a co-host on Barbara Walter's ABC talk show, The View, Trump walloped O'Donnell with more wicked words when he told ET and The Insider that if The View was his show, "I'd look her right in that fat, ugly face of hers, I'd say Rosie, you're fired." The following year, Trump crudely tagged O'Donnell "a slob" and "a pig" during a 2007 TV interview with Larry King.
In 2011, Trump nastily defined columnist Gail Collins of The New York Times... "the face of a dog."
In 2012, Trump took on superstar entertainer Bette Midler and targeted her as "grotesque" and "an extremely unattractive woman."
Also in 2012, Trump tweeted that Arianna Huffington - the co-founder and then editor-in-chief of The Huffington Post - was "unattractive both inside and out. I fully understand why her former husband left her for a man. He made a good decision." Former Republican Congressman Michael Huffington of California came out as bisexual and, in 1997, his marriage to Arianna Huffington ended in divorce.
It was after an August 2015 Republican presidential debate when Trump's indecent language attacked debate moderator Megyn Kelly (then of Fox News, now of NBC News). "You could see there was blood coming out of her eyes. Blood coming out of her wherever."
A month later, in September 2015, the vulgar Trump was downright despicable to then Republican presidential candidate Carly Fiorina during an interview Trump gave to Rolling Stone magazine. "Look at that face! Would anyone vote for that? Can you imagine THAT...the face of our next president?" On Thursday, October 18th, 2018, Fiorina publicly slammed Trump for using the derogatory term "Horseface" about Stormy Daniels. Fiorina told Anderson Cooper on his CNN program, Anderson Cooper 360, that Trump's repulsive remark has brought political insults "to a new low."
Alicia Machado - now an American citizen, but originally from Venezuela - wore the crown of Miss Universe 1996. The former beauty pageant winner says that in 1997, Trump - who, at the time, owned the Miss Universe and Miss U.S.A. pageants - harassed her over her weight after she put on a few pounds. In a Hillary Clinton campaign video - which was posted on Twitter in September 2016 - Machado claimed Trump described her as "ugly" and "fat," and that "Sometimes he'd 'play' with me and say...'Hello Miss Piggy'...'Hello Miss Housekeeping'." Machado and former Secretary of State Clinton assert that Trump branded the beauty queen with the bigoted nickname "Miss Housekeeping" because she is Latina, which unfairly contends that women who are of Latin ethnicity are nothing but maids. Trump is detestable and he sickens me.
And then, of course, there's the Access Hollywood video when Trump
grandstanded to the show's then co-host Billy Bush about Trump's sexcapades... allegedly with television personality Nancy O'Dell, among others.
"I moved on her, actually. You know she was down on Palm Beach. I moved on her...and I failed. I'll admit it. I did try and f--k her. She was married. No, no, Nancy. No this was...and I moved on her very heavily. In fact, I took her furniture shopping. She wanted to get some furniture. I said, 'I'll show you where they have some nice furniture.' I took her out furniture... I moved on her like a bitch. But I couldn't get there. And she was married. Then all of a sudden, I see her. She's now got the big phony tits and everything. She's totally changed her look."
The conversation continued as the Access Hollywood bus arrived at NBC studios in Burbank, California and Trump noticed actress Arianne Zucker who he was meeting that day to videotape a scene with her on Days Of Our Lives.
"Yeah, that's her...with the gold. I better use some Tic Tacs just in case I start kissing her. You know, I'm automatically attracted to beautiful... I just start kissing them. It's like a magnet. Just kiss. I don't even wait. And when you're a star, they let you do it. You can do anything." Billy Bush replied..."Whatever you want." And Trump uttered the line that nobody should forget. "Grab 'em by the p---y. You can do anything."
There are more women who have been plagued by the evil of Donald Trump, but the aforementioned examples give you the gist of why no woman should ever vote for Trump and why no woman should ever vote for any candidate who supports Trump. For women to have cast their ballots for him in 2016 will baffle me for the rest of my life and will leave historians scratching their heads in bewilderment for centuries to come.
As with everything else, Donald Trump - the narcissist that he is - has made the upcoming midterm elections all about himself. He has repeatedly declared that a vote for any Republican congressional candidate is a vote for Trump. Trump's obnoxious behavior should not be rewarded by handing him a Republican-controlled Congress.
The late Thomas P. "Tip" O'Neill famously said..."All politics is local." But the former speaker of the House would be wrong today with Donald Trump being part of the mix. At a time when Trump has single-handedly polarized our country, a politician is unable to focus on matters concerning his or her state, district, or community because voters today are concentrating on whether a candidate running for office is a Trump supporter or if that candidate opposes the diabolical lies and the hateful rhetoric that are synonymous with Trump in America's divisive political climate.
Unfortunately, Americans can no longer vote for the person because we have to vote solely for the party. Donald Trump has made it so that no decent, honorable Republican candidate (and yes, there are some) would ever be backed by a Democratic voter...and no worthy and esteemed Democrat who is seeking a political post would ever receive a vote by a Republican. But then...there are Independents. Hopefully, each true "on the fence" Independent will have a conscience on November 6th, 2018 and they will realize that anyone who can root for Trump's ugly agenda should not be elected to either the U.S. Senate or the U.S. House of Representatives.
Donald Trump's plan for America will continue to bring misfortune, crisis, and death to people throughout our nation. Americans are no longer part of the human race, but instead we are identified as members of the blue race, the red race, and the purple race. Since the beginning of time, bigotry and prejudice have run amok around the globe. Racism in the United States - especially towards African-Americans and Latinos - has tragically moved in a wrong-headed direction. But liberalism and conservatism have, in many ways, caused more bitterness and hatred across our country. Every issue, every matter, every item of discussion today quickly becomes a political argument. In the past, the most benign topic to talk about was the weather. But we can't even share a conversation about the weather anymore without entering in to a debate about global warming, climate change, the environment in general, and who's responsible for the death and destruction from a hurricane.
Donald Trump is a hostile and vindictive varmint who thrives on being a heinous thug. After the many Trump quotes you have read in this column - which are documented, substantiated facts - all women should vote only for Democrats on November 6th so that the Democratic Party regains control of both houses in Congress. Women...Donald Trump is morally and mentally unfit to be president of the United States. Do not give him the opportunity to move forward with his presidency in ways that will destroy America. Do not vote for Republicans. And if you're a man...and you care at all about women...then that goes for you too.
And that's The Controversy for today.
