Trump: Oh, I meant women should ‘punish themselves’ for abortions

Donald Trump has invented yet another explanation for his original comment that women should be punished for having abortions.

In a New York Times profile of Donald Trump‘s campaign, the candidate walked back his comments to MSNBC’s Chris Matthews that women should receive “some form of punishment” if they seek an abortion, saying he actually wanted women to punish themselves.

“I didn’t mean punishment for women like prison,” he said. “I’m saying women punish themselves. I didn’t want people to think in terms of ‘prison’ punishment. And because of that I walked it back.”

But the Times reporter Robert Draper dug around and got the real story. Trump “initially saw nothing wrong with his remark and refused to walk it back,” and issued a short noncommittal statement. Trump suddenly changed his mind when he was swamped with questions and requests for comment from over a hundred media outlets.

    He’s just another gawd-damned liar. He’ll fit right in as POTUS.

    Liars often fool themselves too… This is known as NPD, or Narcissistic Personality Disorder. It’s common among the more arrogant/ignorant people you may come across.

    “I didn’t mean punishment for women like prison,” he said. “I’m saying women punish themselves. I didn’t want people to think in terms of ‘prison’ punishment. And because of that I walked it back.” Today’s lie from Herr Drumpf. It’s like he has a daily quota on flip-flops and falsehoods.

    It’s like he keeps his positions on a lazy-susan… whatever he says now, he’ll come back to the stupid shite eventually.

    Trump thinks these women should give themselves a punch in their face and a time out.
    I wonder if any of Trump’s ex girlfriends have had to punish themselves.
